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 …
Sony Ericsson X10 passes through the FCC, headed to T-Mobile?
by Susan Ellery on Dec 21, 2009 0 Comments">0
The Sony Ericsson X10 made its maiden voyage through the FCC and left behind a cornucopia of information. Some of the goodies include the full manual detailing the phone’s features and its custom Android interface, internal photos of the handset, external photos of the handset, and a test report chock full technical jargon. Inside the Declaration of FCC Conformity within the user manual, the folks over at BGR picked up on a brief reference to UMTS/HSPA Bands 1, 4, and 8 which corresponds to 2100/1700/900MHz. These three bands are known and loved by T-Mobile customers as they grace nearly every …
Nexus One passes through the FCC with both AT&T and T-Mobile 3G support (updated)
by Susan Ellery on Dec 14, 2009 3 Comments">3
An HTC handset with FCC ID NM8PB99100 and the model name “NEXUSONE” has made its way though the revealing process of FCC approval. The documents posted by the FCC divulge the presence of cellular radios supporting quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE and UMTS/HSUPA (2Mbps up and 7.2Mbps down) on 850/1700/1900 frequencies. Savvy readers will immediately recognize that 1700MHz is used for T-Mobile’s 3G network and that 850/1900MHz are the bands used for AT&T’s special flavor of 3G. Excellent news for consumers in the US as an unlocked Nexus One could be used on either T-Mobile’s or AT&T’s high speed data network. Anyone on the fence about the Nexus One, ready to take …
Acer Liquid A1 passes through the FCC with AT&T 3G support
by Susan Ellery on Dec 11, 2009 1 Comments">1
If FCC approval is any indication, then AT&T may finally be launching some Android devices in 2010. Two hot new handsets, the Dell Mini 3ix and the Acer Liquid A1, have recently received the FCC rubber stamp of approval, with both handsets including support for AT&T’s special flavor of 3G. We knew Dell had plans to launch their Android-powered smartphone in the US, but the recent discovery of a NAM variant of the Acer is exciting. Remember that approval is just one step of many that a manufacturer must take prior to releasing a device, it is not a guarantee …
HTC Desire gets FCC and Wi-Fi approval, still heading to Verizon?
by James Tromans on Sep 29, 2009 0 Comments">0
Right at the start of the month we reported to you that the Android-powered HTC Desire may be heading to Verizon. The foundations of this news were based in the fact that PhoneArena received a leaked photo of the Verizon inventory system showing the device listed alongside others such as the BlackBerry Curve 8330 and similar devices. Now, we can confirm that the HTC Desire has not only gained FCC approval but it has also obtained a Wi-Fi Interoperability Certification from the Wi-Fi Alliance. Things are certainly starting to point in the same direction. With that said, this doesn’t really …
HTC Click/Tattoo gets FCC approval, but not with U.S. 3G
by Michael Oryl on Sep 23, 2009 0 Comments">0
The FCC has just approved the HTC CLIC100, aka the Tattoo, for use in the United States. Hooray, you say? Well, not so fast. This is the Euro-spec version of the device that supports 3G only on the 900 and 2100MHz bands, not on bands supported by T-Mobile or AT&T. It is not uncommon for foreign market devices to get FCC approval even if they never show up for sale officially on these shores. Sometimes it is just done so that people can work with the device legally for R&D or software development purposes. So don’t get all giddy about …
HTC Hero for Sprint approved by the FCC
by Michael Oryl on Aug 20, 2009 0 Comments">0
If there were any doubts left that the HTC Hero was heading to Sprint, they should be erased now. The FCC has just approved a CDMA version of the HTC Hero that sports EV-DO 3G data. You can take a look at some of the FCC documents here. In particular, the “Report DTS” link provides information on the CDMA testing that has been done. [via EngadgetMobile]
HTC Hero approved by the FCC with AT&T 3G
by Michael Oryl on Jul 03, 2009 2 Comments">2
It appears as though EngadgetMobile has spotted a version of the HTC Hero with 850/1900MHz 3G support for AT&T’s network on the U.S. government’s FCC website. This does not necessarily mean that we will see that version of the device sold in this country, though. Often devices are approved by the FCC even when they don’t go on sale here. So while this is certainly cause for hope, we had heard already that an 850/1900MHz UMTS version of the device was going to be available, so it could certainly just be a version headed to Rogers in Canada, for example. We simply …
HTC Magic / T-Mobile G2 gains FCC approval
by James Tromans on Mar 27, 2009 3 Comments">3
Another great day for T-Mobile and HTC; the FCC has recently passed the HTC Magic, making the device’s arrival in the United States now just a formality. This will be the second Android device for T-Mobile USA, leaving Sprint still pining for some Android love. In case you have just made it back from the moon, here are some of the important spec details for the HTC Magic. The soft styled, curved handset offers a 3.2-inch HVGA (320×480 pixels) TFT capacitive touchscreen display along with video recording provided by what appears to be an upgraded 5 megapixel camera. BlackBerry fans …
