HTC HD mini with North American 3G gets FCC approval?

So, hear us out: this isn't a slam dunk by any stretch of the imagination, but we've good reason to believe that we're looking at the FCC ID label of the HTC HD mini variant designed to support North American 3G bands. The most obvious reason is the fact that the label is screaming yellow -- a perfect match for the chartreuse internals of the device that HTC was excited to show off at its MWC introduction a couple months back. What's more, this approval comes a few weeks after approval of the Euro-spec PB92100 with a similarly-designed label, which would've been the right time frame for a phone that's due to ship across Europe any day now. Of course, the approval of this phone doesn't really say anything about carrier availability -- sure, it could ship on AT&T, but it could also come to Rogers, Bell, Telus, or be sold unlocked and unbranded, a tactic that HTC has occasionally employed stateside in the past. Regardless, though -- considering WinMo 6.5.3's rapidly-waning relevance, they'd better ship it on the double.

What a useless device.

They should just scrap it.

[dand Posted Apr 20th 2010 1:26PM]

[Sean76 Posted Apr 20th 2010 1:43PM]

Keep that piece of garbage on the other side of the pond! Windows 6.5--dot whatever is pure crap!!! And hello, too little, too late!

[beckhams777 Posted Apr 20th 2010 1:46PM]

I want the HD 2 with North American 3G, not the mini.

[jerbear Posted Apr 20th 2010 2:10PM]

What about the Legend? I've not seen any recent news about that on any US carrier. It might be a good less expensive alternative to the Evo for my less demanding girlfriend.

Why is Tmobile not a possibility?
