NEC's next FOMA phone heads for the US
Nikkei BP took their sweet time getting us this news, but it seems
NEC's 900iG, the dual W-CDMA/GSM/GPRS phone that's the latest in DoCoMo's FOMA range, has gained government approval. It'll also be sold through Wind Telecom in Italy, in line with previous rumours we'd heard. The real news, though, is that it's apparently also been approved by the FCC, so we presume that it's headed Stateside sometime soon. Also approved in Japan (no news from the FCC so far) are two dual-mode phones from Sharp, the 902SH and 802SH, about which we're shorter on details at the moment, though the article does reveal that all three models have Bluetooth.
