Two more Nokia mobile phones have been recently spotted wandering freely in FCC's courtyard, the Nokia 5530 XpressMusic and the Nokia 7020. The two devices, we learn, have already received the approval for use in the North American space, which means that we should hear soon about their official introduction onto the market.

The first of the handsets, Nokia 5530 XpressMusic, was rumored about a month ago to get ready for FCC's approval, though the Finnish mobile phone maker didn't unveil the phone officially at that time. This time around, the smaller version of the popular 5800 XpressMusic has been already showed to the world, and now it is coming to the NA stores.

The device that has been designed to offer a wide range of attractive features comes with kinetic scrolling, a virtual QWERTY keyboard on its 2.9-inch touchscreen display and runs under Symbian S60 5th Edition operating system. In addition, it also includes a 3.2-megapixel photo snapper, as well as a Bluetooth connectivity, Wi-Fi connectivity and no 3G, unfortunately.

The second Nokia device caught at FCC is the Nokia 7020 clamshell, which is reported to be on its way to the market sometime in the fourth quarter of the ongoing year. The device comes to the US with the quad-band EDGE connectivity, though it has been developed right from the start with this feature and that might not be an indicator of the North American availability.

The handset will hit the shelves as a rather affordable phone, and we should note the 2-megapixel photo snapper it is expected to carry, the support for social networking sites, a bright display and a stardust effect that the exterior will show when receiving a message, but that would be about all. At the same time, no details on whether it will come via a certain operator in the US have been unveiled either.
