Did a Galaxy Tab 10.1 With T-Mobile Radios Pass the FCC?

T-Mobile could be gearing up to offer the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 alongside their forthcoming Samsung Galaxy S II. A device with the Tab 10.1′s dimensions has been spotted making rounds at the FCC. Inside? T-Mobile’s AWS bands for use on their 3G network and HSPA+ network. Exciting.

Internals – such as processor speed/type, internal storage and RAM – may differ from the original WiFi-only product, but we don’t expect much to be different. In case you’ve been living under a rock, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 has a 1GHz dual-core NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor, 1GB of RAM, 16-32GB of internal storage, a 10.1 inch HD display, Android 3.0+ and more.

Unfortunately Samsung elected to forgo ports such as HDMI, standard USB and SDHC in favor of thinness. It’s a big tradeoff, but if size is important to you then the 8.6mm thin Galaxy Tab 10.1 will make you forgot all about those wasted opportunities. We’ll assume that this one will make it in time for Santa. [Engadget]

Samsung Galaxy W (T679) Passes Through The FCC on Its Way To T-Mobile

You may remember a few weeks ago when Samsung unveiled their “Galaxy Chart” showing off the different categories of Galaxy devices and what to expect from each one. Well, one line of those devices was the Galaxy W and if you can see from the picture, it seems to line up perfectly with the Samsung T679 that passed through the FCC today on its way to T-Mobile. Fitting for its Galaxy W tier, the T679 will feature a 800×480 display, 1.4GHz processor, 4GB of internal memory and running Android 2.3 Gingerbread. It will be a mid-level device and will most likely carry an affordable price tag.

Sony Ericsson’s Live Walkman was torn apart down at the FCC today. The musically geared Android device will be released in select markets and hopes to revive Sony’s aging Walkman brand. Not much too many surprises here — just a stripped down, bare naked phone for you to drool over (if you’re into that sorta thing). Hey, I wont judge.

The Live Walkman will feature Sony’s Qriocity music service and is mroe geared towards music aficionados. The SELW will also come with a 3.2 inch HVGA display, a 1GHz processor, a 5 megapixel camera with flash and HD video recording, a front-facing camera and more.

HTC Vigor Passes the FCC With LTE Radios Inside

One of our AndroidForums.com members DROIDAV8R has been snooping around the FCC and noticed that one PH98100 – the HTC Vigor – has made a stop. I can’t seem to download .PDF files there right now (they’re all coming up as HTML files, but our tipster says he saw mention of Verizon’s 4G LTE radios inside. It would seem about right for a phone that’s rumored to be on the high end of the spectrum.

We’re getting a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage, an 8 megapixel HD camera and a rumored 4.3 inch 1280×720 display. Can’t say I wouldn’t mind having this phone in my arsenal. With today’s approval, we’re probably primed for an October release – hopefully sometime in the earlier parts of the month.

The Vigor just appeared on the FCC’s Equipment Authorization web site. LTE is now confirmed. The direct URL won’t copy correctly for some reason. Go to:

Samsung Stratosphere Passes Through The FCC Complete With Verizon 4G LTE

The Samsung SCH-i405 better known as Verizon’s Stratosphere, passed through the FCC today complete with LTE 4G bands. The FCC filing confirms yesterday’s rumors that this will essentially be Verizon’s version of the Samsung Epic with no new surprises to report. This device looks to fill the void of 4G LTE enabled QWERTY sliders on Big Red. All that’s left now is the launch date and pricing but something tells me we wont have to wait much longer for either of those.

Samsung i727 Shows Up at FCC with 4G LTE

Looks like AT&T will soon unveil one of the first LTE phones set to be launched sometime later this year. One Samsung i727 has passed the FCC and has those nice 4G LTE radios inside to take care of AT&T’s forthcoming “real 4G” network.

Although only a few cities have coverage right now, AT&T expects to roll the service out to a respectable amount more by the end of the year.

As for the phone, some are speculating it could be a Samsung Galaxy S II with LTE radios inside, but we’d advise everyone to set their expectations much lower – you know, to save yourself from disappointment and all. [Thanks Josh!]

LG VS920 Squeezes Through the FCC With LTE Radios [Revolution 2?]

Judging from the model number and the fact that it has LTE radios inside, we wouldn’t be surprised to see the LG VS920 – which just passed the FCC – turn out to be the LG Revolution 2. While I wouldn’t say we’re long overdue for a sequel (the LG Revolution isn’t a dated phone by any stretch of the imagination), I wouldn’t mind having a phone similar to the Revolution with a dual-core processor. Perhaps the LG Optimus 2X for Verizon? One can only hope for the time being. Check the listing out at the FCC if you’re curious. [Engadget]

Samsung Hercules (T989) and AT&T Variant (I927) Make Their Way Past The FCC

The Samsung Hercules (T989), T-Mobile’s variant of their Galaxy S II device, was discovered making it’s way through the FCC today. What’s of particular interest is the fact that the device will be equipped with NFC (Near Field Communications) as seen in the filing above. Not to be outdone by T-Mobile, AT&T’s own version of the Galaxy S II (I927) also made a surprise appearance in a filing of its own (pictured below). Strange seeing how I could have sworn the I927 already had an FCC filing in August.

Both devices have been rumored to launch soon on their respective carriers and unveiled in a Galaxy S II event being held on August 29th in New York. Today’s FCC filings just bring us one more step to both the device’s inevitable release and Galaxy S II world domination.

Thanks, Jamil!

Motorola XT531 Blazes through the FCC

The Motorola XT531 has been announced for China, Europe, and Latin America, but it very well could find a US release before its world tour is finished. According to a new FCC filing, the XT531 seems primed for a release on AT&T with support for radio bands compatible with the carrier’s network. The Android 2.3 handset features a 3.5-inch display and dual camera setup (5MP rear/VGA front-facing) and will go by several monikers, including Spice XT in parts of Latin America and Fire XT around Europe. There is no hint as to the name it will be released under if and when it launches in the US.

Pantech Apache Passes Through the FCC Complete with Verizon 4G LTE

Looks like Verizon will be getting some Pantech love in the near future as revealed in this FCC filing today. Pantech hasn’t made much of a splash in the Android scene here in the states but they may be trying to change that thanks to this Verizon 4G LTE enabled device. Still no word on some of the more important specs like processor or screen size but I’m suspecting we may have the U.S. version of their Mirach A budget device complete with 4G. Let’s hope Pantech will wise up and release one of their more impressive Android devices in the U.S. soon.
