Samsung’s mighty INNOV8 sk8s through FCC with US-friendly 3G
Filed under: Handsets, Samsung, Symbian, GSM, EDGE, HSDPA, UMTS
Seeing how it’s the end of the year, it’s as good a time as any to formulate a list of 2008’s killer smartphones — and with an 8-megapixel cam rounding out a what’s-what list of awesome specs, the S60-based Samsung INNOV8 really needs to makes the cut. In fact, it’s so hardcore — arguably the most powerful S60 phone ever released — that it seemed like a forgone conclusion from day one that we wouldn’t be seeing it in North America (yeah, we’re jaded like that). Samsung might have other ideas, though, at this time that we’ve seen a version of the INNOV8 garner FCC approval with WCDMA (presumably 7.2Mbps HSDPA, to be specific) on the 850 and 1900MHz bands. Given that Samsung’s mobile division doesn’t really have a direct relationship with end users in the States, we’d expect this to be a branded set for either Rogers or AT&T — but at any rate, whichever carrier it happens to be, we salute your infinite wisdom.
