Documents found at FCC site revealed some information about the Motorola i680, a rugged clamshell for the Sprint Nextel network. The handset supports 800/900MHz iDEN bands, and has Bluetooth and GPS. Photos show that the i680 also comes with two displays, a camera with flash, microSD card slot and a headset jack. According to the draft user manual, other features include video capture, threaded messaging, audio/video media playback and PTX services.

The FCC has approved the LG GM730F, which is apparently headed to AT&T since it will be running on the 3G bands used by the carrier.  This model looks very similar to the GM750, but what the exact differences are we can't tell. Here's what we know for now:

• Windows Mobile 6.5 OS;
• 3G support;
• 3" WQVGA display;

The new Android powered Dell Mini 3iX has been spotted at the FCC site. The handset is the U.S. variant of the China-bound Mini 3i, which unlike the latter features 3G and Wi-Fi support. While we can't tell when it will be released exactly and on which carrier, it's safe to expect it to be launched on AT&T's network sometime in 2010.

Other highlights include:

• Android OS;
• 3G support;
• 3.

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).
