FCC has been busy clearing two Samsung devices for the U.S. market. The first of the two is the Android-powered i5700 aka Spica, which came to FCC in AT&T’s 3G flavor (850/1900 MHz). Rest of the specs — aside from a 3G radio — include WiFi, AMOLED touchscreen, GPS, and a 3.2-megapixel camera. As for…
Sony Ericsson Xperia X2 clears the FCC
Sony Ericsson’s Xperia X2 has been cleared by the FCC. Unfortunately for those in the U.S. who look forward to grab one, this is not the U.S.-centric device. It lacks a 3G radio that sings on either AT&T’s or T-Mobile USA’s 3G network. So we’re wondering why the Swedish-Japanese handset maker went through the hassle…
Motorola i410 visits FCC on its way to Nextel
A new MOTO iDEN phone has been spotted at the FCC. It’s the Motorola i410, which as you can see from the image above, is quite ugly like most iDEN phones are. Specs wise, Moto’s clamshell comes with a small external screen, push-to-talk functionality, GPS, Bluetooth connectivity support, speakerphone, messaging and basic web access. And…
Sonim’s XP2 clears the FCC
Sonim XP2, one of the world’s toughest phones, has cleared the FCC recently. We have no clue when it will hit the market, but we see it comes with a 3G radio, though it’s unclear what exactly can you do with such a small screen. Maybe get some weather forecast info, which can come quite…
Nokia X6 is at the FCC, all in its capacitive glory
The first capacitive touchscreen-equipped Nokia smartphone, X6, is at the FCC. As you can see from the image above, Nokia’s or FCC’s engineers prepared the device for thorough testing. I’m not sure I know which part does what, but I do know that 3.2-inch screen won’t work with a stylus. Then there’s 32GB of flash…
FCC passes Sony Ericsson’s high fashion, low tech Pureness
Sony Ericsson’s Pureness makes it clear that a pretty face can sometimes make up for a lack of substance. The Pureness recently made waves with its transparent display and minimalist styling. And, now that the FCC has given it their blessing, folks with a penchant for high-fashion and little need for any real technology may…
Vertu Constellation Ayxta is at the FCC
Just few days ago Stefan talked about the Vertu Constellation Ayxta, a super-expensive, built like a German tank clamshell. It’s at the FCC now, meaning Nokia is getting it ready for the U.S. release. This is not to say we have any inside information, it’s just to point out that one legal barrier is down,…
Nokia N97 mini with quad-band 3G radio is at the FCC
It’s good to see Nokia finally making true world phones. By this I mean a single device that sings on both 900/2100MHz and 850/1900 MHz, used in Europe/Asia and North America, respectively. On that note, the Nokia N97 mini has been spotted at the FCC with a quad-band 3G radio, meaning you’ll be able to…
Brief: Motorola Sholes hits the FCC
I know all of you were disappointed when Motorola launched the CLIQ, DEXT, or whatever that hideous looking create is called at Mobilize 09, instead of bringing the long rumoured Sholes to market. Well, good news: Sholes just hit the FCC. Expect it to be announced within the next 90 days, the usual length of…
FCC shows embedded Novatel MiFi unit – WiFi sharing for laptops?
Novatel’s MiFi is just about the greatest thing to happen to mobile broadband since 3G wireless networks started delivering acceptable data speeds a little less than a decade ago. We’re big fans of the Novatel MiFiWiFi HotSpot Portable and its ability to share its 3G data connection with multiple WiFi-enabled devices. We only wish we…
