Default FCC Clears Smartphone Model ST20L - SP3i 850Mhz Version

https://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/prod/oet/cf/eas/reports/ViewExhibitReport.cfm?mode=Exhibits&RequestTimeout=500&calledFromFrame=N&application_id=259733&ss=tps&fcc_id='NM8TP'

FCC has posted some documents that will surely cheer up the Smartphone wanna-bes in America. The test report and SAR report documents clearly shows that this SP3i look-alike, with the model name ST20L, operates on GSM850 and GSM1900. 8O You can tell from the external photos that this is the same as the HTC Typhoon available as i-mate SP3i, but now available in 850Mhz version. So if you were looking for a candybar Smartphone with a joystick, that supports the American GSM frequencies, then your search is about to end soon.

I think I am going to cancel my SP3i order and wait for the ST20L or the SP3i GSM850 version. Any guesses on when this Smartphone will be launched and by whom?

GSM carriers use the following radio frequencies for their operations:
850MHz and 1900MHz in America
900MHz and 1800MHz in Europe and Asia

The SP3i model that is known to our readers is a 900MHz/1800/MHz/1900MHz model.

But this one is a 850MHz/1800MHz/1900MHz model. It supports both the US radio frequencies.

Wow Kris, that's great news! I really hope they can do something in North America before the holiday season is over. 8)

If I am right the code name of this phone is "HTC Feeler", right?

I think you are right. I was going by the FCC Id "NM8-TP" assigned to this model, which is associated with HTC Typhoon.

:confused totally:

I am totally confused. Never mind! It's too bad that these similar (same) models don't have common names because it confuses people too and thus sales are lower :?

I agree. I really hate how the same phone is available under multiple names. The Typhoon should have 1 name, and that's it. Instead we are currently pushing 7 different names for the same phone. :twisted:

This phone is based on the HTC Feeler. Except this version is for the US since it has the 850 band, versus the 900 band on the model currently available in Germany and a couple other countries over there. Other than that difference, I would expect everything else is the same.

So this would be called the "HTC Feeler ST20L" IMHO.
