FCC Approved the Motorola A910 Linux Phone

The Federal Communications Commission has approved the Motorola A910 mobile phone, a handset sporting a hybrid, yet well balanced, next generation Linux-Java software platform that will surely make your mobile life easier than ever before.

This cellphone is able to connect you to anyone you know even without typing their number due to its highly sophisticated voice features. This way, through a simple voice command, the phone will dial the number of the person you want to talk to and with the help of the integrated UMA technology, you will also be able to seamlessly access GSM and GPRS features over WLAN through the 802.11b/g protocols.

The A910 features a 1.3 megapixel digital camera that will let the artist in you make self portraits and capture video clips, a 3D audio and shared media player with lots of audio codecs, playback and streaming 3GPP video, progressive video downloading so you will be able to watch the clips even if they haven't been totally copied on your handset, a removable memory expansion TransFlash memory card slot, an independent voice recognition software that will enable the device to dial any contact's number in your address books without the need of a prerecording, wireless Bluetooth connectivity and the very useful MOTOSYNC software pack that will offer you personal desktop integration and enterprise IT integration through the ActiveSync and AirSync features.

If you still don't think this device is worth the money you will have to pay for it, then you should know the A910 also has an integrated J2ME technology that offers support for the latest Java games and applications, a miniUSB jack, Lumi-LED Flash technology plus a bonus of multi-tasking that will surely attract a lot of people towards the idea to buy one of this Linux flavored handsets.

I have no info about the phone's US launch date or about the price it will have attached when it will hit the retail stores' shelves, but due to it being already approved by the FCC, one thing is sure: this cellphone will be released very soon.
