FCC welcomes Apple iPhone 3G S

Less than a day after it was unveiled at WWDC 2009, the new Apple iPhone 3G S got the Federal Communications Commission's blessing. You now can peruse fascinating technical data about Apple's newest device, including its SAR measurements. If you're not an iPhone fan, there's no reason to despair, as a handful of other new cell phones passed through the FCC as well.

HTC Touch Pro2 clears FCC

Though the HTC Touch Pro2 has yet to formerly arrive in the United States, Bonnie Cha tells me it should make the full carrier rounds. We've seen it headed for Sprint and T-Mobile, and now the Federal Communications Commission has approved what appears to be a version for AT&T. A Samsung also made this week's list, along with the Sony Ericsson W518a and TM717.

Palm Pre, Nokia N97 NAM clear FCC

We've long said that the Federal Communications Commission holds a treasure trove of information on upcoming cell phones, and this week it's really true. Over the past few days we've seen not only the (cue trumpets) Palm Pre pass through the agency's gates, but also a Nokia N86 with an 8-megapixel camera, the North American version of the Nokia N97, and a dual-mode (CDMA/GSM) HTC Touch Pro 2. It would seem that everyone is getting ready for the busy month of June when the Pre will make its long-awaited debut in two weeks and the … Read more

FCC gives nod to Samsung Android phone

Android fans will like this one. This week, the Federal Communications Commission approved another Android smartphone that's compatible with T-Mobile USA's 3G network. The Samsung i7500 follows the HTC Magic by almost two months, but it promises a 3.2-inch display, a 5-megapixel camera, and 8GB of internal memory. The last time we met with Samsung, the company wouldn't provide specifics on the handset, but here's hoping that it hits the streets soon.

Sony Ericsson makes a splash at the FCC

This week we spotted three hot Sony Ericsson camera phones file into the FCC database, namely the C903 Cyber-shot, the CS8 Cyber-shot, and the W995 Walkman. The C903 Cyber-shot is a 5-megapixel shooter, while both the CS8 and the W995 sport 8.1-megapixel lenses. The W995 also marks the first Sony Ericsson phone we've seen with a 3.5-mm headset jack, which we're definitely happy about. Not really sure which carriers these phones will end up with, but we're excited to see more high-end camera phones come our way.

T-Mobile HTC device clears FCC

Compared with last week, this was a quiet week at the Federal Communications Commission. But there were a couple of notable models worth mentioning: the new HTC S522 promises support for T-Mobile's 3G network and the Sony Ericsson W705a should offer a full set of music-friendly features.

Samsung Omnia HD, 3G T-Mobile Sidekick clear FCC

Phew! This was an exhausting week at the Federal Communications Commission. A long list of phones passed through the agency's gates, with quite a few notable models sticking out form the crowd.

The Samsung Omnia HD, which debuted two months ago at the GSMA World Congress made its first appearance. That should put it one step closer to arrival in the United States, though we still don't know if it will land at a GSM carrier (as many of you have asked).

We also spied a new 3G version of the venerable T-Mobile Sidekick and the HTC Cedar. … Read more

T-Mobile HTC Magic clears FCC

A few versions of the HTC Magic won certification from the Federal Communications Commission on Thursday. Though another version of the phone passed through the FCC last month, it was not certified for U.S. 3G networks. Yet this newest Magic model supports the 3G AWS bands of T-Mobile. Could T-Mobile get its second Google Android phone in the next couple of months? It would seem that way.

Besides the Magic, two Acer smartphones and a slew of Samsungs (tear off the front page) were approved as well. Because the FCC has to certify every phone sold in the United … Read more
