HTC Nexus One blessed by the FCC (updated)

"However, we're still not seeing tests in the 2100MHz range required for data downloads"

This is an emissions test, can 1700/2100 radios even broadcast in the DL frequencies?

Well if anybody's counting, I vote for you to be right, considering the unlocked price of most high-end smart phones, $400 would be a nearly miraculous gift.

Well let's see, two of the filings don't list band 8, only 1 and 4.

Could that have been the typo, and as a quick fix, they added band 8, writing(incorrectly) the frequencies from memory?

Actually, engadget listed those bands, the filing doesn't.

Yeah, MS usually has a pretty good CES.

Unfortunately, 815-880MHz aren't really 850 frequencies either.

Also I think the fact that those frequencies are the only ones using whole numbers is telling.

@bradsh

Does your research suggest why the band 8 frequencies are incorrect?

They're closer to the band 5/850 range. that combined with engadget not knowing the correct band 1 frequencies could explain the whole mixup.

That's about the only thing that makes sense.

Pretty serious typo though, those frequencies don't match anything.

Except the frequencies listed under band VIII (815-880) don't match the band VIII frequencies(890-915, 935-960).

Not sure what that means.

"Have you ever tried typing on a BB Bold keyboard ?"
I have.
"Then don't compare hardware and virtual keyboard because you just can't."

Too true, SW KBs are clearly superior.

My hands are too big for any mobile KBs, hard or soft. with a hardware KB I'm out of luck, with a soft KB, auto correct, predictive text and I can type just fine.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"All of these new nettops have me intrigued. I'm looking for a small, quiet and cheap PC to replace my aging tower in my home office, and all it really needs to do is load Microsoft Office, check email and surf the web. Is there a particular nettop that's better (or a better value) than another? I know it's a rather new segment, but hopefully someone has taken a chance on one already. Thanks!"
