  • FCC shows Samsung Z400 - Samsung's first Direct-Connect handset for Sprint

    The FCC is always good for getting the down-low on un-announced, un-released handsets. It looks like Samsung is getting into the DirectConnect game. How Sprint managed to convince Samsung to hop on-board its struggling CDMA-based DirectConnect bandwagon is beyond us - although, it’s a better wagon to hop aboard than Nextel’s dying iDEN network. The Samsung Z400 will be rebranding Qualcomm’s QChat PTT technology for use as Sprint’s DirectConnect. We’re not used to seeing a DirectConnect handset on Sprint Nextel that didn’t bear a Motorola logo, but hey, times are a-changin’. The FCC has just dropped the ball on Samsung’s Z400, the company’s first DirectConnect handset destined for Sprint. With a rugged casing, OLED external display, dual-antenna setup, stereo speakers, Bluetooth, EVDO and camera, the Samsung Z400 looks to be headed to Sprint’s mid-range lineup - destined to pull duty as a blue-collar fleet-phone. Oh, and a quick peak at the user’s manual reveals a “Chat and Dating” service - interesting indeed. Pricing and availability are not yet known.

  • Motorola RIZR Z6c clears FCC, headed towards Verizon

    Talk about a truly global-capable phone. The Motorola RIZR Z6c has just gotten the green-light from the FCC , and should be bringing all that GSM and CDMA goodness to Verizon’s network sometime soon. GSM and CDMA on Verizon’s network? Did Verizon launch some sort of undercover GSM network while we weren’t looking? Not a chance. Verizon’s more than happy with their CDMA stance in the US wireless landscape, but with most of the world using GSM technology, it makes sense for Verizon to bring a world phone on board with the ability to surf those GSM airwaves abroad. The Motorola RIZR Z6c slider (as the name would suggest) will be rocking the same 2 megapixel camera, stereo Bluetooth, microSD card slot, and QVGA display from its MediaFLO and VCAST TV sporting sibling - the Motorola RIZR Z6tv . Verizon will be adding the Moto RIZR Z6c to its “World Edition” stable (alongside the recently released BlackBerry 8830 ) - the dual-band CDMA radio with EVDO and dual-band 900/1800 MHz GSM radio ensures that the Motorola RIZR Z6c “World Edition” will be comfortable in pretty much any country on this planet. We’re not sure when this thing’s going to go live on Verizon’s network. But, with the holiday season rapidly coming to a close, this FCC approval might expedite the Motorola RIZR Z6c’s launch. With that cool-looking, embossed rear (it’s all about the little details), we can’t wait to get our hands on this thing.

  • Motorola reveals two new Nextel phones - i335 and ic602

    Following on the heels of news that Sprint has made a major breakthrough in integrating the Nextel “chirp” feature into it’s CDMA network, Motorola has released a couple new iDEN phones - the ic603 being a hybrid iDEN/CDMA handset. The i335 is marketed as an entry-level candy-bar with a rubbery finish. Not much else to mention on that front, other than the i335 bears a striking resemblance to the i290 that we showed you a little while ago . The rubbery finish and sleek styling are a welcome departure from the normally staid designs we’ve seen in the past - even if it is on a low-end handset that lacks a camera. The ic602 is a mid-range hybrid Nextel/Sprint combo-phone. The clamshell is bulky and even has an ugly antenna, as we have come to expect from iDEN phones - but it will work on CDMA and iDEN networks, dramatically increasing the coverage range of the phones. The ic602 is reported to be packing EVDO, and a 2 megapixel camera, but no memory card slot or music-player. Both handsets are expected to launch later this year. Pricing is not yet known. We’re a bit surprised to see Motorola still pumping out iDEN phones, considering the iDEN network is rumored to be slated for commercial shutdown in the near future. And, speaking of which, why would Sprint want to merge the “chirp” feature from a network that is rumored to be doomed for re-purposing?

  • Sprint announces new CDMA/iDEN handset - Motorola ic902

    Sprint is rolling out another hybrid CDMA/iDEN handset for use on both Sprint's CDMA and Nextel's iDEN networks. The Motorola ic902 sports EVDO data speeds, 2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth, microSD card slot, and MP3 player - a decent feature-set (but then again, Nextel phones have never had any cutting edges). At least you get a [...]
