Somehow lost in the abyss of what the FCC represents, as it was probably intended to, the RM-412 reached it only a couple of days before Christmas, and now only the traces of its passage can be followed. Apparently, the device was intended to remain a mystery, and, in order to accomplish the task, the whole operation was performed in hush-hush mode. Needless to say, the pieces of information regarding the phone are few, nonetheless they help make an overall impression on the product.

Announced a few months ago in a smartphone roadmap leak, this Nokia reveals, as most argue, the category in which it falls thanks to the 1000mAh BL-4U battery that has been confirmed for the model. Even if this information supposedly places the handset from the start in a certain smartphone “league,” no other such arguments can be brought into discussion for the time being.

Focusing on the most claimed data, the Victoria seems to have already been tagged as a 7-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE WCDMA phone, a capability that is likely to create quite a stir, should it turn out to be for real.

Furthermore, besides the BL-4U battery package, other accessories such the HS-43 headset and the AC-5E AC charger are also strongly argued to be equipping the mobile. In addition, the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi capabilities have also been mentioned and, even more, this is the only piece of information there has been no debate upon.

As you can see, the FCC has not been generous in any way with the details regarding this RM, teasing us even more with a rumor regarding an RM-413 that has also surfaced. Whether the data refers to the same device or not, all is said to become clearer in a couple of months.

Later on, starting March 17th, photos illustrating the RM-412 have been promised to be released along with a launch date and probably some pricing availability data.
