The ultra-thin and sexy Nokia E52 has been spotted while passing through FCC’s labs. The version FCC folks had to play with doesn’t sport the right 3G frequencies (HSPA works on the 900 and 2100 MHz bands), hence it won’t be able to sing along AT&T’s or Rogers Wireless’ 3G networks. This, however, is almost…
HTC Hero with AT&T 3G bands is at the FCC!
The super sexy HTC Hero is at the FCC’s labs. We’re talking about the version of the device that can sing along AT&T’s and Canada’s Rogers Wireless 3G networks. The question is will AT&T pick it up? They have a good relationship with Apple, which might be pissed to see such a contender being offered…
Samsung Gravity 2 Passes FCC
So long as we’re cruising by the FCC, Samsung has filed papers for a little something called the Gravity 2 (T469). The original Gravity just hit Rogers in March and T-Mobile in November, and already the sequel’s coming down the line. Little is known spec-wise, other than 3G support, but it’s probably safe to say…
BlackBerry 8520 Curve (Gemini) Passes FCC
While most eyes are on the BlackBerry Tour 9630 prepping for a launch next month, it seems like the 8520 Curve (code-named Gemini) is getting ready to blast out of the gates as well. T-Mobile is rumoured to pick up the EDGE-only 8520 around August 5th., but given we’re seeing FCC filings now, it wouldn’t…
LTE-Ready LG Device Passes FCC
An FCC report for the mysteriously-named M13 have gone public, bearing signs of LTE support. Of course, this isn’t the first time we’ve seen LG waving around 4G-capable handsets, but it is a step towards commercial availability. Verizon’s burning the midnight oil trying to get LTE ready for a 2010 launch, and no doubt manufacturers…
Vertu BH-1V Bluetooth headset approved by the FCC
We don’t usually cover accessories that get FCC’s seal of approval. However, this time around we’re talking about a Bluetooth headset that has the famous “V” branding of Nokia’s luxury arm. The first Vertu headset (at least the first I’m aware of) has passed through FCC’s testing labs and we think it will soon hit…
Senators request review of cellphone exclusivity deals
The long-held tradition of tying cellphones to a certain wireless carrier has been under fire for years now. Last year, the Congressional Subcommittee on Telecommunications was discussing the “fairness” of mobile phone exclusivity agreements sought by wireless carriers and handset manufacturers. Today, our elected officials are taking the fight against exclusivity agreements to the next level.…
Apple pushes iPhone 3GS through FCC’s labs
Following Apple’s announcement of the new iPhone 3GS flagship at WWDC 2009, the FCC has just given the iPhone 3GS the requisite thumbs-up to play on AT&T’s US network. Both the iPhone 3GS 16GB and iPhone 3GS 32GB variants have been approved by the FCC, so there’s no doubt Apple will be able to make…
Sony Ericsson TM717 spotted on FCC in T-Mobile’s colors
T-Mobile USA will be adding a new Sony Ericsson device in its portfolio in the near future. Or at least it seems that the Swedish-Japanese handset maker hopes so, as I don’t see any other reason to go through the FCC approval hassle for the device that sings along T-Mobile’s AWS 3G — not that…
Samsung B5100 Passes FCC
So, while you’re all oohing and aahing and Will’s live WWDC coverage, maybe you can show some love for this Samsung B5100 that just passed the FCC running S60. It’s a simple candybar with a 3 megapixel camera with LED flash, GPS, Wi-Fi, HSDPA, and a QVGA screen. No other info other than that, but…
