Meet the Motorola i410, a new iDEN phone that has recently been spotted at the FCC site. It is pretty ugly like all iDEN representatives, as seen on the photos, and features a small external screen, push-to-talk functionality, GPS, Bluetooth connectivity support, speakerphone, messaging and basic web access.

That's about all we had to share. Pricing and availability info is not available yet.

Nokia has somehow managed to keep this new RM-559 “Alvin” phone secret until it's passed the FCC. What we know about it currently is this:

• Tri-band UMTS/HSPA;
• Wi-Fi;
• Bluetooth
• 32GB of internal memory;
• 1320 mAh battery

We'll keep you up-to-date on additional info.

The North American version of the Nokia 3710 Fold called 3710a has been approved by the FCC, and will soon be coming to AT&T (most likely), since it supports 3G WCDMA 850/1900 bands. The phone's other features include:

• 3.2Mpix camera;
• QVGA screen;
• GPS;
• Bluetooth;
• Media player;
• microSD memory card slot;
• Nokia’s Series 40 platform

The price shouldn't exceed $100 on a contract, but that's our guess.

The FCC has approved the Casio Brigade C741 for Verizon. According to the documents on the site the phone comes with Bluetooth, MP3 player, and MediaFLO interface. Stay tuned for more details.

The FCC has just approved the GSM version of the upcoming LG BL40. It will only support GSM 850 / 1900 alone, which means there will be no US 3G support on that model. The first carrier to offer the device will be Verizon, so there's no doubt we'll see a CDMA version of it, but what if I wanted to get an unlocked GSM handset with HSDPA?

I know many of you will be really happy to know that FCC has approved the new Nokia E72 for the North American market. It supports HSPA on the 850 and 1900MHz bands in addition to quadband EDGE and HSPA 2100, and will apparently be available through Nokia flagship stores, since it's unbranded.

FCC has approved the new Nokia E55, which is basically an updated variant of the E52 with more keys. It supports HSPA 900/2100MHz, which makes the phone useless in the U.S. if you want high data speeds. There's always EDGE, but it's hardly a consolation.

It will be available soon for €265 (about $371 USD).

The new Samsung Gravity 2, also known as SGH-T469 has appeared at the FCC's website. This in some way confirms the previous rumors that the said handset would be released sometime between July 15 (most likely) and August 19.

According to what is written in the FCC profile, the phone will have AWS 3G band, and a side-sliding QWERTY keyboard. That's all we have to tell you for now.

FCC has recently revealed a new low-end Motorola-branded cell phone called W165/W172. However, we're not sure if it's actually manufactured by Motorola, since the producer listed in the FCC documents is Cheng Uei Precision Industry of Taiwan is, and the company applying for FCC approval is Brightstar. Furthermore, Motorola has not announced this phone yet.

Specwise is't a simple GSM 850/1900 monoblock phone with FM radio (on W172), 2.

The FCC has revealed more details about the upcoming Casio Exilim NX-9250 clamshell for Verizon. According to the draft user manual, the phone comes in a moisture, dust and shock resistant casing, and its features are as follows:

• Dual-band CDMA/EVDO Rev. A;
• Bluetooth;
• 5.1Mpix camera with optical zoom, video capture and flash;
• Dedicated media playback keys;
• microSD cards;
• TV out;
• Support for VZW services, such as V CAST

Neither Verizon nor Casio have announced this handset.
