North American Nokia N79 gets FCC approval

You know what warms our hearts and brings a tear to our weary eye? Opening up the FCC paperwork for a so-called "Nokia RM-350" and being greeted with two things: one, a picture of an N79 just stone-cold chilling on a table, and two, a long-ass table of supported frequencies -- North American 3G stuff included -- with a bunch of "PASSED" remarks next to them. That's the FCC's way of saying "we likey," and you know what? We likey, too.

It'll be free on 18 month contract in the UK or 500$ dollars in the United States. Great. What a deal!

so is it going to be coming to att? and at what time frame b4 the end of the year right?

the reason i am asking is becuase there is proof that on the manual of the phone it has media net available, so I thought it might be coming to att. I don’t have the link but I searched it in google and found it.

i know this is the n78 but could att have thought about bringing the n79 on board than n78? i am just curious. and on cnet they have the n79 or n78 under att/nokia column?

still it is a good phone how much can at&t cripple the phone. I mean it is symbian OS.

at&t did a bang up job of crippling the N75 and E62. I doubt they'll carry another S60 for a long time. Just go buy an iPhone and sell it on ebay. Then you can buy an N79, N85, 5800 or whatever.
