14 DAY TRIAL // Finnish mobile phone maker Nokia is not yet done with the MeeGo platform
, it seems, and the long-rumored Nokia N9 smartphone is still expected to arrive on shelves in the not-too-distant future.
The device was just spotted at the FCC with model number RM-680 next to it, and is expected to arrive on shelves in the United States on the airwaves of T-Mobile.
The mobile phone that received the necessary FCC approvals was spotted with GSM and WCDMA connectivity capabilities (GSM bands 850, 1900, 1800 and 1900, and WCDMA bands I, II, IV, V and VIII).
Given the recently announced deal between AT&T and T-Mobile, we wouldn't be surprised to learn that AT&T too would be picking up the device, that's for sure.
For the time being, however, nothing was confirmed on the matter, and it remains to be seen whether the device would indeed land on shelves in the United States or Canada.
What is known on Nokia's RM-680 device is that it should arrive on shelves with WiFi 2.4GHz 802.11 b/g/n capabilities, as well as with Bluetooth connectivity options.
These were the only details that the said FCC filing unveiled on the Nokia N9, but, provided that the mobile phone is set to soon land on shelves in North American market, more is expected to become available soon.
However, this is not the first time the mobile phone makes an appearance into the wild, and we already had the chance to stumble a series of rumored specs on it.
The Nokia N9, a flagship model, is expected to arrive on shelves with a large 4-inch 800 x 480 OLED display touchscreen display, complemented by sliding physical QWERTY keyboard.
The handset would pack a 1 GHz Snapdragon application processor inside, along with 512MB of RAM, and 64GB of internal memory.
On the back, the Nokia N9 would sport a photo snapper of unknown resolution, which should be able to record videos in 720p HD.
In February, Nokia announced the adoption of Windows Phone as the primary operating system for its handsets, and that Symbian and MeeGo will slowly fade out, but it did promise the launch of a handset running under the latter, and Nokia N9 might just be it.
