Motorola i880 crosses FCC borders

They wouldn't give us the much anticipated early peek at Motorola's i880 that we would have liked, but the FCC definitely did pass the phone through with a thumbs up. That, of course, indicates as always that the phone isn't long for the general market, even though by this point the original market that Sprint-Nextel envisaged a year ago that might be interested in a hybrid CDMA / iDEN device have probably moved on to a regular old CDMA (or -- gasp -- EV-DO) Sprint handset. Still, we know our place: they make 'em, we write about 'em.
