The new and basic Motorola W265 has just hit the FCC. Call it a calculator if you want, but apparently this boring clamshell doesn't offer anything besides dual-band GSM radio (EU/US) and FM receiver. How do you like that in the year of 2008?

A piece of junk I'd say, but if it's free, I'll take it. :)

The CDMA version of the anticipated HTC Touch Pro WM-based slider has just passed the FCC. It bears the “RAPH800” model number and supports 850MHz/1900MHz CDMA and EVDO bands. Well, it's good news for Sprint and Verizon customers, let's just hope the device launches in time.

FCC site features a new Motorola cell phone, which doesn't look anything like the previous models, and is apparently destined for some non-US market with some kind of 3G coverage, as documentation and a front-facing cam justify the aforementioned.

We suppose it will be a low-end GSM/EDGE/WCDMA capable handset designed to bring WCDMA to the masses. The only thing that bothers us is the design, which is simply awful.

FCC site has unveiled the new Nokia 7610s. This is a quad-band GSM slider equipped with the following features:

• EDGE data;
• Stereo Bluetooth 2.0+EDR;
• FM radio;
• 3.2Mpix camera with flash;
• 2.5mm headset jack;
• TV out;
• microSD slot

Neither Nokia nor any carriers have announced the 7610s by now, but it is compatible with AT&T and T-Mobile's networks.

Verizon will be launching the new Samsung U430 phone on its network. The phone was recently approved by the FCC, is very basic, lacks any multimedia features, and appears to be the replacement for the older U410 model. It will be available for free with a contract.

Samsung U430 features:

• Networks: CDMA dual band (800/1900 MHz)/CDMA2000 1xRTT;
• Battery: Li-Ion;
• Main Display: 128 x 160, 65 536 colors, TFT;
• Additional Display:  96 x 96, 65 536 colors, STN;
• Camera: 0.

After almost 5 years, T-Mobile will be offering a new Sony Ericsson phone in the U.S. Judging by the FCC documents, the new Sony Ericsson TM506 is a 3G-capable clamshell handset bound for T-Mobile USA. Not much information was provided, but according to the available documentation TM506 features:

• Tri-band GSM/EDGE 850/1800/1900;
• WCDMA 1700/2100;
• Bluetooth;
• aGPS;
• Memory card slot;
• Camera (unknown Mpix);
• Mobile TV and support for streaming videos.

The new Motorola ZN200, which was first seen a couple of months ago on the company's phone profile page has just been approved by the FCC.

It is a mid-level handset with a 2Mpix camera, microSD card slot, media player and built-in FM radio.

FCC has approved a new Nokia business-class slider called the E66.

This quad-band GSM/EDGE handset will be available very soon in three variants, one of which will sport North American 850/1900 3G band, the other will have 2100 for Europe, and the last - 850 for Australia.

FCC has approved a new Windows Mobile handset from i-mate, the Ultimate 8502. It has a pretty impressive feature set, which includes HSUPA, TV out, integrated GPS, QWERTY, and much more.

We were hoping they would also approve the 9502 model, which is pretty much the same as the 8502, but in addition comes with a VGA touchscreen display.

FCC has recently approved the Sony Ericsson C902.

First seen at the MWC show earlier this year, the phone comes with a 5Mpix Cyber-Shot camera, quad-band GSM (850/900/1800/1900MHz) and Bluetooth connectivity, multitasking feature, MemoryStick Micro (M2) card slot, and support for Microsoft ActiveSync.
