by Alexander Maxham on Jan 21, 2012 4 Comments">4
Earlier this month at CES AT&T announced six new LTE devices they would be launching on their network soon, including the first LTE Windows phone. But there was a device that was a bit more interesting to us, Android fan boys, the Samsung Galaxy Note which has been widely popular overseas. It is finally going to land in North America pretty soon. A Canadian carrier also announced they would be offering the LTE version of the device sometime in the near future as well, of course no specific launch dates have been given for either device. The handset gained approval for …

Fujitsu Arrows F-07D Hits FCC, Challenges DROID RAZR as World’s Thinnest Phone
by Conan Hughes on Nov 24, 2011 0 Comments">0
We knew that the Motorola DROID RAZR won’t be the world’s thinnest smartphone forever. We just didn’t expect its title to be challenged so soon. And, the challenger? The Fujitsu ARROWS F-07D, which recently made the rounds for approval at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Filings at the FCC showed that the device is merely 6.7 millimeters thin. In comparison, the DROID RAZR is 0.4 mm thicker at 7.1 mm, whereas the difference is even more noticeable if you compare the ARROWS F-07D with the 9.3-mm Apple iPhone 4S. The Fujitsu device also remains slim almost throughout its body, with …
Samsung Galaxy Nexus Hits FCC With Verizon LTE
by Matthew Sabatini on Nov 16, 2011 2 Comments">2
For just about a month now, Samsung and Google (as well as almost every wireless carrier), has kept us all on the edge of our seats about the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. After Google and Samsung released the final specifications of the device, they even threw in a rather vague release date. November they said, and now half the month has come and gone without a single “official” word.

by Conan Hughes on Nov 06, 2011 0 Comments">0
Although wild sightings of the phone have been reported since July, the new LG Prada K2 was never confirmed to be real, until now. Filings for the device at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) have been discovered recently, and they confirm, among other things, that the upcoming LG Prada K2 has Near Field Communication (NFC). The third iteration of the LG Prada series, the K2, will come with GSM/EDGE 850 and 1900, WCDMA 1900, dual-band Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth.

Motorola DROID RAZR GSM Variant Seen at FCC
by Paul Nuñal on Oct 27, 2011 2 Comments">2
Incredibly thin and powerful, the Motorola DROID RAZR was spotted making the rounds at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for its regulatory tests and certification. The device, however, appears to be the non-LTE variant, as it happens to sport radios for GSM and WCDMA bands commonly associated with AT&T’s network. The device has been given FCC ID IHDP56ME2, although that does not say much about whether the device, in fact, is the Motorola DROID RAZR. The telling clue is revealed in one line that speaks of the tested device’s battery part number: SNN5899A, which is the same part number for …
HTC Vigor Launch Date Nears as Device Gets FCC Clearance for CDMA/EVDO, 4G LTE Radios
by Elmer Montejo on Sep 12, 2011 5 Comments">5
Verizon Wireless just released the Motorola DROID Bionic, a powerful beast-of-a-smartphone, last week, and it won’t be too long before another powerful beast–this time from HTC’s camp–comes along, as a device rumored to be the HTC Vigor just made it past the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Said to be the HTC Vigor, the device with HTC model number PH98100 (FCC ID NM8PH98100), recently received clearance from the FCC for its CDMA/EVDO and 4G LTE radios. As is usually the case, approval from the FCC usually suggests the device’s launch or release date just around the corner. HTC has been mum …
Vizio Android Tablet Arrives At The FCC
by Aerol Bibat on Jun 14, 2011 0 Comments">0
One of the hallmarks of Android is that it is used in many cheap tablets and phones. Admittedly this is mostly because of Android’s semi-open nature. However, this has greatly helped in the operating system’s market penetration. Well, if there’s anyone who knows about being cheap and affordable, it’s Vizio. The US-based manufacturer of cheap electronics has made a name for itself with its line of cheap yet nice quality LCD TVs. Now it’s trying to branch out. Vizio announced earlier this year that they would be working on an Android phone and tablet. Well, the Android phone was spotted …
Newest Smartphone From Vizio Approved By FCC
by Chit Agustin on May 18, 2011 0 Comments">0
Back at CES 2011, we all knew that Vizio would make the plunge into the world of smartphones and, at that time, only knew that it was their intention. We even caught a glimpse, albeit momentarily, of their newest and soon-to-come smartphone. However things have turned out a bit strangely to some extent since that time. There was never a single piece of information or even any leak of their smartphone until now. Lately, there were reports that Vizio won the approval of the FCC. Truly, Vizio is now back in business, and hopes to win the hearts of Android …
AT&T Continues to Pursue Merger With T-Mobile, Submits Proposal to FCC
by Chit Agustin on Apr 23, 2011 1 Comments">1
Most recently, Sprint released an official announcement that they are going to join the Rural Carrier Association (RCA) in order to help them prevent AT&T and T-Mobile’s merger. However, in the face of their relentless objections, AT&T is still continuing to pursue its merger with T-Mobile and has submitted their deal to the FCC. Many critics argue that the merger would put Sprint out of business in the wireless industry as Verizon and AT&T would surface as the only worthwhile competitors. On the other hand, AT&T is ready to contend that merging with T-Mobile will let them bring 4G LTE …
HTC Desire Android smartphone passes FCC w/AT&T 3G support
by Michelle Ruhfass on Jul 07, 2010 1 Comments">1
The HTC Desire is an Android-based smartphone that offers a 3.7-inch AMOLED touchscreen display, a 5 megapixel camera with LED flash, Wi-Fi, GPS, and runs a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. The Desire landed overseas first and U.S. Cellular (a CDMA carrier) announced that it would carry the smartphone this summer, but it has not been announced for any other U.S. carriers to date. However, FCC documents suggest that a version of the device with support for AT&T’s 3G network could be on the way. [via Electronista]
Unknown ‘Wildfire’ HTC Android QWERTY phone
by James Tromans on Apr 28, 2010 0 Comments">0
For some odd reason, the FCC has found it prudent to post images of a forthcoming HTC device some believe to be called ‘Wildfire’. A brief glance at the pictures reveal that this HTC PC70110 device offers a touchscreen along with a full QWERTY keyboard. The FCC approved it for AT&T 3G bands (850 / 1900 MHz). There is no way of truly knowing whether this is an Android based device. However, there are four touch-sensitive keys on the front of the device, and it looks like one of them is the friendly Android Home key that we’re so used …
Samsung Galaxy S to land with AT&T?
by James Tromans on Apr 12, 2010 0 Comments">0
On the surface, the Samsung Galaxy S looks to be a nice phone. After all, it has a 4” Super-AMOLED display with accompanying technology only found in Samsung’s actual TVs. However, if you look a little deeper, you’ll find that the Samsung Galaxy S should be a great phone. It is the first phone to launch by Samsung that will offer their fabled Hummingbird Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). The irony comes in light of the fact that when Samsung first released their original press release, there was no word about graphics processing, nor how this new piece of kit would …
HTC Legend passes through the FCC
by Kelly Hodgkins on Feb 24, 2010 0 Comments">0
A variant of the HTC Legend was spotted as it made its way through the FCC recently. It was keen observation by the folks at Androphones that tipped them to the HTC Legend. They astutely noticed that the sketch of the label in the FCC documents exactly matches the FCC label on the leaked photos of the Legend that appeared last week. It is unmistakable as the label has a unique shape due to the unusual battery cover and unibody design of the Legend. Future Legend owners in the US should not start jumping for joy quite yet as this …
Nexus One desktop dock passes through the FCC
by Susan Ellery on Dec 28, 2009 5 Comments">5
An eagle eyed member of Android forums scanned the FCC and scooped the Nexus One desktop dock which received FCC approval last week. The outline drawing of the desktop dock is not revealing but the test report reveals a bit of an oddity – the desktop dock includes integrated Bluetooh 2.1+EDR, seemingly duplicating the Bluetooth functionality of the phone. Any guesses as to what extra functionality would be provided by the secondary Bluetooth in the desktop dock? Unless someone with inside information comes forward, this is one mystery that may have to wait for the official announcement before it is …
