Despite the sing-song post title, what’s said above is true: the Samsung Infuse 4G has hit up the FCC, and hopefully we’ll see the hot handset hit AT&T’s shelves very soon. The Infuse rounds out the carrier’s selection of HSPA+ devices, alongside the Inspire and Atrix. The handset sits somewhere in between the two existing HSPA+ handsets for AT&T in that it has better specs than the Inspire, but lacks a ... Read More
Samsung Galaxy S II for AT&T and SGH-i708 prototype hit FCC
Well, well, would you look at which two Samsung phones got the FCC approval today. The first is the Samsung Galaxy S II i9100 - we all know that one. The SGH-i708, however, is a bit more mysterious. Judging by the image the FCC has posted, it looks like it'll be an edge-to-edge touchscreen device. Moreover, it'll have support for both WCDMA (interestingly, the AT&T 3G band - 850/1900Mhz) and CDMA/EvDo ... Read More
Asus E600 Arrives At The FCC, Running WP7
During the large flurry of Windows Phone 7 devices to come out in a big hit, there were a few that were spotted, but not officially announced. It seems that Asus wants a piece of the smartphone game as well, and is kicking it off with a Windows Phone 7 device. This Asus E600 went into the FCC with a 4 inch screen, 5.2 megapixel camera, and 850/1900MHz bands, making it ... Read More
BlackBerry Curve 8980 escapes via FCC, switches to trackpad
It seems the aging BlackBerry Curve 8900 is finally getting a successor. The Curve 8980 features almost the same specs, but has picked up WirelessN connectivity and an optical trackpad instead of a regular trackball. The rest of the specs are quite familiar - 2.4-inch display, QWERTY keyboard, 3.2 megapixel snapper, GPS, Bluetooth and microSD card slot. Similar to its predecessor, the new Curve 8980 also lacks 3G connectivity. There is no ... Read More
Nokia X2 Gets FCC Approval
Announced two weeks ago in India (and not yet available for purchase), the ultra-cheap Nokia X2 has received FCC’s approval to be used in the US. The phone is a GSM/EDGE-only device, and since it has quad-band connectivity, it can be used on any non-CDMA carrier in North America (AT&T, T-Mobile, Rogers, you name it). Needless to say, the FCC approval is by no means guaranteeing an X2 launch in North ... Read More
Nokia 7230 passes the FCC with US 3G
Officially announced less than one month ago, the Nokia 7230 has just been approved by the FCC, which blessed the phone’s use on US 3G bands (850 / 1900 MHz). This (theoretically) means that AT&T can launch the phone in the US, or, if you’re in Canada, Rogers or Fido may pick it up. The 7230 is a fancy-looking slider with decent features, including: 2.4 inch QVGA display, Bluetooth 2.1, 3.5mm headset ... Read More
House of Representatives want FCC to regulate Google Voice
Apparently there isn’t enough to do in Washington these days. 20 House of Representatives lawmakers have pressed the FCC to investigate how and why Google decides to block certain phone numbers with its Google Voice service. After numerous complaints were filed by said Representatives, mostly from rural areas, the FCC has sent a formal inquiry to Google and asked for a response by the 28th of this month. Google insists ... Read More
Android-powered Motorola A855 Sholes clears the FCC
Ah – there we are. Just as the long rumored Motorola Sholes started to slip off the radar after failing to make an appearance at Motorola’s big (read: somewhat underwhelming) Android announcement earlier this month, it has moseyed its way right through the FCC. Now that the FCC has verified that the Sholes wont melt your brain or ruin all nearby radio equipment, when can we expect it to launch? Well, ... Read More
