Nokia 6750 Mural coming to AT&T
Author: +866.com28 Apr
The FCC has recently approved a new Nokia phone that’s almost surely going to be released by AT&T in the US.
We’re talking about the Nokia 6750 Mural, which comes as a clamshell that works on the 850/1900 UMTS bands.
Somewhat similar to the Nokia 6650 that AT&T launched in November 2008, the new 6750 comes with two displays, a glossy finish and external music-dedicated keys. It also has a 2MP camera with flash, Bluetooth and MicroSD card support, up to 8GB.
The phone’s Users Manual confirms that AT&T will carry the Nokia 6650, since it includes stuff like MEdia Net and Video Share.
It’s not clear yet if the 6650 runs on Symbian S40, or on Symbian S60. I guess we’ll have to wait for its official release in order to find out.

Sony Ericsson W995a approved by the FCC
Author: +866.com28 Apr
The North American version of Sony Ericsson W995, namely the W995a, was recently approved by the FCC – which means the phone might be soon launched in the US and Canada.
Codenamed Sony Ericsson Hikaru, the W995 / W995a is SE’s second handset that has an 8MP photo camera. Despite this, it’s not a Cyber-shot phone, but a Walkman one.
So, besides the nice photography-related features, the W995a also comes with a 3.5mm headset jack, Walkman 4.0 player, shake control, TrackID, stereo FM radio, stereo speakers and stereo Bluetooth.
No word yet if the W995a will be picked by a North American carrier (AT&T, Rogers?), or if it will be sold unlocked. In the second case, the slider will probably be quite expensive.

LG Secret CF750 Visits The FCC
Author: +866.com27 Apr
It looks like we’re one step closer to getting the LG Secret, as the device has been spotted at the FCC. The LG CF750, as it’s called, will most likely be headed to AT&T’s network, especially since the FCC pictures have the device covered with AT&T branding. In case you forgot, the phone will feature popular features such as Bluetooth, GPS, microSD card expansion, a 5-megapixel camera and much more. It looks like it’s time to start saving those pennies.

Sony Ericsson CS8 Visits The FCC
Author: +866.com27 Apr
It’s not real surprise, but it’s still pleasant to hear news that a variant of Sony Ericsson’s C905 will be reaching America via T-Mobile. Dubbed the CS8, the device will sport an 8.1-megapixel camera and also support T-Mobile’s 3G bands. You can expect this megapixel monster to be available around June 24th. You might want to start saving some of those pennies in the meantime.

VeryKool i280 Phone Is Not Cool
Author: +866.com27 Apr
You might not be too familiar with VK Mobile, as the company was supposed to be a big deal but had a financial collapse a few years back. VK stands for “VeryKool” and now VeryKool USA has a new touchscreen device approved by the FCC. It’s a rather simple GSM/EDGE device, albeit with analog TV on board, which certainly won’t be too useful, especially since that’s going to disappear from the airwaves. It certainly doesn’t look like a phone that carriers will want to pick up, so it’s probably safe to say that it’s just trying to get FCC approval for roaming purposes.

Sony Ericsson W995 Visits The FCC
Author: +866.com27 Apr
Sony Ericsson’s W995 has decided to take a trip to the FCC for approval, which is certainly good news for those who are eagerly awaiting the arrival of this phone. Specifications wise, it’s certainly a good phone, since it sports a 8.1-megapixel camera, 8GB of internal memory, 2.6-inch QVGA scratch-resistant screen, aGPS, Wi-Fi, stereo speakers and Walkman player 4.0. The bad news however, is that there isn’t any mention of the 850/1800/1900 MHz WCDMA bands that we’re looking for, so this might actually be a European variant of the device. Hopefully we’ll be seeing the North American variant, the W995a, sometime soon.

Nokia Dual Slider Phone Visits The FCC

Nokia fans stateside might be in for a treat, as an unknown dual-sliding CDMA Nokia phone has shown its face in the FCC filing. There isn’t a name on the device yet, but it certainly looks like it could belong in Nokia’s N-series lineup. The phone will sport a 3-megapixel camera, microSD card expansion, 3.5mm headphone jack, EV-DO Rev. A and Bluetooth 2.0. There isn’t any indication of whether the device will be using S40 or S60, so we’ll have to wait and see how that turns out.

It seems that the LG VX11000 has paid a visit to the FCC to gain its approval.

It looks like we’ll have to play the waiting game to find out the full details of this upcoming phone. Stay tuned!

LG LTE Approved By The FCC
Author: +866.com20 Mar
LG has come out with what looks like one of the first Long Term Evolution device approved for use in the US. The single-band device, currently known as “LTE User Equipment, is only good for 1700MHz AWS band transmissions. No other information on this item is available. Bear in mind that this is NOT a phone, but it’s good to see that LTE is gaining ground, and it looks like it’s only a matter of time before phones that support LTE become commonplace, just like 3G devices are all around nowadays.

FCC Approves LG Arena With AT
Author: +866.com20 Mar
There are times that perusing through the FCC Records has its benefits. Dozens of mobile phones get submitted and approved every single week, and most of them never see the light of day on any major US carrier. From time to time, however, some precious gems slip through without much fanfare.
And this one slipped through a while ago, on Jan. 29th. It seems that there already is FCC approved LG Arena KM900 model supporting 3G bands on AT&T.
The FCC approved it as the “KM900QA”. Test Report indicates this phone is operating on AT&T 3G, WCDMA 850/1900.
Does this guarantee AT&T is going to pick it up in the States?
As we know, there’s never any guarantee AT&T will pick up anything until we see it in official press docs or even on the shelves of retail stores. But the point is, if any US carrier is going to pick up the LG Arena it will be AT&T.
The Arena has just officially launched in France, and 1 million units (at least) have already been pre-ordered.
If launched on AT&T it would become the most feature-rich non-smartphone the carrier currently sells, complete with 3″ WVGA screen, 8 GB built-in memory, 5 MP camera, and WiFi; not to mention the S-Class touch UI to boot.
This is all we’ve found so far, but let’s keep hoping this is a good sign of things to come on AT&T. Sound off in the comments — if the Arena does come to the States will you consider buying it?
