MPx Approved By FCC
Posted by Janak Parekh in "HARDWARE" @ 09:00 AM
For those of you who have been patiently waiting, even despite the 32MB RAM limitation, the MPx is slowly nearing release in the US -- it received FCC certification last week. There's a fair number of documents, including a user manual, on the linked FCC filing page. Unfortunately (or fortunately?) the user manual doesn't seem to list the device's specifications. Also, I have no data on when carriers will actually be offering the device. :|
The good news is that Phone Scoop's info page suggests that there will be two versions: a triband version including 800MHz for the Americas, and an international version using 900MHz instead of 800MHz. While it's not as useful as a single quad-band device, at least GSM 850 looks to be supported. If Motorola releases a 64MB Americas version, I'll be all over it. ;)
