Nokia C5-03 hits the FCC without AT&T 3G bands
As it’s gearing toward the launch, Nokia thought it’s a good practice to put its C5-03 smartphone through FCC’s approval process. The problem, however, is that the version we caught at FCC’s website doesn’t work with American 3G networks — AT&T and T-Mobile included. On that note we ask – why bother Nokia – it’s not like anyone would want a 3G device which 3G doesn’t work. Maybe there are few fanatics that are satisfied with the EDGE “speeds” on their 3G phone, but that’s not the reason to go through all the hassle, or at least me thinks so.

In addition to the Pantech Crux, Verizon Wireless unveiled another solid feature phone – LG Octane.

We were able to get our hands on the T-Mobile myTouch 4G and this Android powerhouse will be able to go toe to toe with any of its competitors.
The face is similar to the myTouch 3G Slide but the lack of a physical keyboard enables HTC to create a sexy and slim device. The 3.8-inch touchscreen is not the biggest on the market but it’s bright, responsive and should satisfy most users.

Rumor: Photo: Verizon bound LG Android smartphone that does LTE
The photo above was sent by an anonymous tipster to Engadget who says that it’s a high end Android smartphone made by LG for Verizon, and if the logos on the back of the device are any indication of what it’s capable of, then it looks like this could be one of the few LTE phones that are going to be available during the first half of 2011. There’s not much else to say about this device, other than that we have to wait and see what Big Red is going to reveal about their next generation network. For them to build a smartphone that can handle both CDMA for calls and texts, and LTE for data, shows that like the HTC EVO 4G for Sprint, this is going to be one of a handful of custom Frankenstein handsets created until the “4G” ecosystem actually starts growing.
