NexusOne “Google Phone” Gets Spec’d During FCC Approval
The FCC just received model number PB99100 built by manufacturer HTC, or as we like to refer to it the NexusOne “Google Phone.” Along with that arrival has come some insight into the phones specs, include 3G bands which should prove to be a huge win for T-Mobile USA and other carriers around the world.
The filing shows MicroSDHC card support for the device, which at the current moment provides up to 16GB expandable memory, while also featuring WiFi 802.11 b/g and Bluetooth 2.1 with enhanced data rates.
However, the real news sits within the phones 3G capabilities and according to FCC tests the unit offers a quad-band GSM/GPRS/Edge setup with UMTS/HSUPA for 2Mbps and 7.1Mbps speed capabilities. According to Engadget the device will offer HSPA 900 / 1700 / 2100mhz abilities which gives 3G to T-Mobile but leaves AT&T with Edge speeds, a move that could be seen as a slap in the face to the exclusive Apple iPhone carrier.
As reported the NexusOne will come completely unlocked for worldwide use, will feature Google Android 2.1 and also comes with a Google created user interface that has been heralded by early critics as an ‘iPhone type experience on steroids.”
