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.

After a false start, it looks like LG has finally gotten it down pat and officially announced the Viewty Smart (LG-GC900). In case you missed all the hype over the phone, it sports an 8-megapixel camera that has sensitivity up to ISO 1600, LED flash, multi-face detection. It also has LG’s new 3D S-Class UI, which debuted in LG’s Arena earlier this year. A WVGA 3-inch touchscreen display, HSDPA, A-GPS, 1.5GB internal memory and microSD card expansion top off the list, just to make sure that you’re drooling.

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’s far from an official announcement, but sources online are whispering that the update to the iPhone will bump the resolution of the device’s camera to 3.5 megapixels, and if that wasn’t a step in the right direction, it goes on to say that there will also be a 5-megapixel camera which is on its way from Apple, and should also see the light of day before the year is out. What do you think? Rumor or leak?
