Just was approved today 2/9/2010. It's got EV-DO and CDMA bands so it is most probably a Verizon device. Not sure which one though.

Really wonderbread. Either you have a RSS feed setup or you are stalking the FCC.
Good to know, thanks for the good eyes.

Or Sprint. No way to tell.

Plz let it be N1

Didn't the N1 FCC label come out as being submitted by Google?

HTC was the applicant for FCC approval of the Nexus One.

Well then. I've got nothing, other than it the number didn't fall in line with the TMobile N1 or the suspected AT&T/Canadian N1.

I would be doubtful of that. N1 has a 1400mAh battery and this new one has a 1300mAh according to the paperwork.

Is it the FCC approval for the HTC Incredible?

Could be. The FCC label for this one has a narrower but longer label than the N1. These labels typically go under the battery compartment on the back of the phone so if you think the battery profile for a pictured phone looks narrower and longer than the N1, that might be a clue.

if the incredible has a smaller battery than the n1, AND has to run sense on top of it, that can't be good news for battery life, and i might go with the n1.

The confidentiality request for external photos and other blah blah crap is requested until August 6th 2010. That's a ways off.

That doesn't correspond in any way with a release date. They usually request confidentiality a good several months out to cover any release.

That's what I was kind of thinking when I stepped away from the computer. They probably request the longest period of time possible. I have a feeling though that this is not the Nexus One; could be wrong though because you would think the Nexus One would have already hit the FCC if it was going be released by the end of March.

I think 6 months is the maximum you can request for confidentiality. Not sure where I heard that. With respect to timeframe for approval-to-release, while Verizon has a 4-5 week lead time, let's not forget the N1 is Google's phone. The T-Mobile Nexus One was approved about 3 weeks prior to release.

They do. The Nexus One photos are still confidential (at the FCC) I believe even though the phone has been out for a month.
