14 DAY TRIAL // Nokia's first mobile phone to run under the MeeGo operating system, namely the Nokia N9, has just received the necessary approvals from the FCC.
The handset has passed through the FCC hallways with quad band 2G and penta-band 3G (2100 / 1900 / 1700 / 900 / 850 MHz) connectivity capabilities, for both the 16GB and 64GB models.
Moreover, the device that received the necessary approvals from the Federal Communication Commission sports 802.11a/b/g/n WiFi (2.4 and 5GHz) connectivity options, at least this is what the available documents show.
In addition to being approved for use in the United States, the Nokia N9 was also subjected to an intense tear-down process, which offers us the possibility to have a look at its internal circuitry.
The Nokia N9 was unveiled to the world with a unibody shell, but it was brought to pieces as part of the testing process at the FCC, and this is where all the photos come from.
Among the most noteworthy features of this device, we can count the small SIM tray, along with the 1,450mAh battery that Nokia packed it with.
The battery takes advantage of a cable to connect to the phone, and is non-user-replaceable, which might disappoint some people.
The back shell where the antennas are placed can also be seen, as well as the 8 megapixel camera sensor that Nokia packed the N9 with.
Moreover, the entire user manual for the Nokia N9 was spotted at the FCC, and those who would like to get better acquainted with the device before it goes for sale should have a look at it.
The fact that Nokia N9 was spotted at the FCC does not guarantee that the device will arrive on shelves in the United States, but it does increase the chances that it will, that's for sure.
So far, however, Nokia has not unveiled specific info on the availability or pricing of this device, so stay tuned to learn more on the matter. (via)
