FCC has unveiled two new phones today, the Samsung T919 for T-Mobile and the LG VX9600 for Verizon Wireless.

The T919 is a tri-band GSM/3G handset with support for 1700MHz WCDMA and probably HSDPA. Other features may include MP3 player, a-GPS and a full Internet browser with "touch".

The LG VX9600 is a CDMA 850/1900 / EVDO handset with a 3" touch sensitive display with 3D graphical UI, according to documents.

T-Mobile has released the Sony Ericsson TM506, its first HSDPA-capable handset. No, the carrier has 3G phones in its lineup, but they all do UMTS at best. The TM506 does HSDPA and is a nice addition to the company's new 3G network. It is available for purchase starting today for $79.99 after rebate on contract.

LG has officially announced its KC910 model, the self-proclaimed Viewty successor that was first seen in August.

It should be available somewhere in the world in October for a yet unknown price.
