Two new Nokia phones go through the FCC, one destined for T-Mobile with LTE?

Update: As pointed out in comments, these could exist Nokia'southward Asha phones (305 and 306) which are just hitting the market place. The smaller battery and dual-SIMs requite credence to that notion, although Nokia oft recycles a lot, including battery types to reduce costs.

Despite Windows Phone 7.x devices looking all simply DOA for new launches, a few phones have popped up on the FCC that has caught our attention. At this bespeak, nosotros can't really believe that (a) these are still WP7.x devices or (b) they will launch anytime shortly. That ways we may be looking at some Windows Phone 8 devices or these are formalities for other reasons (lots of phones get FCC certs without e'er beingness picked up).

First up is of course Nokia (you tin can read most ZTE's phone hither). They take two devices, RM-844 and RM-852, which are making their fashion through the FCC. Both devices wait to exist the same model but RM-852 appears to be destined for Canada with dual-SIMs while RM-844 looks to be for, wait for information technology, T-Mobile. Nosotros're bold they are Windows Phones due to Nokia's commitment to the platform just there's nothing conclusive in the documents.

The reason we're looking at T-Mobile of course is due to the bands being tested: GSM 850 / WCDMA 850, GSM 1900 / WCDMA 1900,  WCDMA 1700 / LTE 1700.  Let'due south footstep dorsum a bit: AT&T uses the 700 MHz band for its LTE service while T-Mobile will exist using 1700/2100 band for its 4G LTE network which is not due to until 2022.  T-Mobile also uses 850 and 1900 MHz bands. [Note: these still could exist used by AT&T though, and then it's a fleck disruptive with and then little to worth with]

That'south not a slam dunk of a prediction simply if T-Mobile wants to come up out with a new Windows Telephone eight Nokia device in late 2022 (when WP8 is expected to launch), it makes sense to take it "LTE-prepare" fifty-fifty if that network will withal be in its infancy. Then again, we could be reading too securely into things here but nosotros think that'south a safe bet for now.

We shouldn't be too surprised though if T-Mobile is going to aggressively push button a Nokia 4G LTE Windows Phone, after all they take to compete confronting AT&T some way and with Verizon on lath with WP8, it volition be an interesting fall for new devices. Windows Phone 8 is expected to have Hd displays (720x1280), dual-cores CPUs, NFC, expandable SD storage and other tidbits which should make them highly desirable for consumers.

Did we miss anything in the FCC docs? Let us know in comments…
