Some new Nokia flip gets FCC approval for AT&T
So close, guys, but no cigar! Last time Nokia ran an unannounced model for AT&T through the FCC -- the yet-to-be-released 6750 Mural -- it remembered to blot out the carrier's silkscreened logos but not the giveaway CV logo on the keypad. This time, it remembered to blot out both the keypad and the logos in the external photo documentation, but not in the SAR setup files (pictured above). Of course, with 3G on the 850 and 1900MHz bands, we pretty much could've gathered that AT&T was a likely target with or without the visual confirmation -- but still, amateur mistake. Beyond the carrier, we don't know much about the phone -- but it's definitely not S60-based, it's got some form of four-digit number assigned to it (it's identified as "XXXX" in the manual), and a dedicated Telenav button guarantees that GPS will factor prominently into its selling points.

If a Nokia phone doesn't have S60, it's sincerely not worth selling...
If only Verizon could comprehend this fact... I'm still trying to figure out where S60 is when it comes to CDMA???
According to phonearena.com it is going to be called the Snapper.
Despite the flash and external music controls (nice touches, btw), the phone screams $29.99 (or less) on contract.
I'm just glad to see more Nokia action in the USA. Now, if they could only bring some of their bar phones and vertical sliders....
There have been XXXX numbered S60 based phones before. 628x series and AT&T's current 6650 come to mind. There have been opthers as well.
