i-mate's Ultimate lineup of mobile phones is definitely a mobile enthusiasts wet dream. At least in theory. With no US wireless carrier-support and nary an FCC seal of approval to speak of, i-mate hasn't exactly broken into the US high-end handset market. So, no matter how high-end the i-mate Ultimate lineup may be, there's just [...]

Two Sony Ericsson phones have been spotted passing the so called FCC hurdle - the R300 Radio and C902 Cyber-shot. The first one is designed for developing countries to allow users to take radio (both AM and FM) with them, where ever they are. The other, more interesting device is the latest and baddest Cyber-shot [...]

In a move that brings us one step closer to having the newly announced HTC Touch Diamond in our hands, the FCC has apparently started tinkering with the slim and sharp-edged Windows Mobile 6.1 smartphone from HTC. With a completely revamped TouchFLO interface, that beautiful VGA touchscreen, and a grocery list of high-end features (more on [...]

It's too bad Motorola hasn't seen fit to bring the Motorola A1600 MING 2 to the US. The FCC has just checked off on the uniquely-designed A1600 MOTOMING 2 handset, which is good news to anyone looking forward to getting their hands on the Motorola clamshell. The Moto A1600 MING 2 ups the ante on its [...]

Nokia 6210 Navigator has been spotted passing the FCC hurdle. The new navigator has all the "things" its predecessor, the 6110 Navigator model, had but also ads some new cards on the table. A better camera (3.2 megapixels with dual-LED flash), WiFi and the new version of Symbian S60 OS (3.2) are now included in [...]

Back in November of last year, we talked about Verizon's plans to release the dual CDMA/GSM version of the Samsung i760. From then on, we haven't heard anything more about it. Until now. Not that Verizon or Samsung are announcing anything, yet. It's the FCC where we spotted the i770 smartphone, which looks familiar and if [...]

This mini-sized offering from Asus has finally made its way to the FCC's labs. Launched back at CeBIT 2008, the Asus P320 Galaxi Mini was destined to bring some mid-range love to Asus's Windows Mobile handset portfolio. And, with the FCC giving the Asus P320 Galaxi Mini the go-ahead, we may just see this diminutive, [...]

We've been waiting and waiting for HP to finally get real with their iPAQ 900-series Windows Mobile smartphone. Just as we were about to give up on HP's smartphone offering, the HP iPAQ 900 pops up on the FCC's website. We were expecting the HP iPAQ 910 to get its launch on with AT&T back in [...]

As if the FCC and FAA's indefinite ban on the use of mobile phones while airborne wasn't enough, a couple well-meaning but likely clueless Congressman have proposed a bill that would effectively ban cellphones from being used on an airborne plane. Apparently, the fear of having to sit next to loud and obnoxious passenger yapping [...]

As much as we love playing the "Guess this model name" game with the FCC, it can get a bit tiring. The newest handset to grace the FCC's testing laboratories is the HTC NEON300. Like the HTC NEON200 and NEON100 before it, this HTC-made handset is a variant of the popular HTC Touch lineup. In [...]
