Earlier this month, Acer’s E110 Android-powered smartphone made an appearance on the Bluetooth SIG site, and today the device popped up on the FCC. The E110 received FCC approval for GSM 850 and 1900 bands, as well as WCDMA Bands II and V. However the Bluetooth SIG site indicates that the device will support GSM 900 and 1800, and WCDMA bands I and VIII as well.
The E110 features Bluetooth, of course, as well as GPS. However, no mention is made of WLAN, which would be a glaring omission for a smartphone.
No word on pricing or availability.
Samsung announced their SHW-M100S Android device earlier this month, and last night the device made an appearance on the FCC. The SHM-M100S features a 3.7” AMOLED screen, 800 MHz processor, 5 MP camera with 720p video recording, WiFi and Bluetooth.
Interestingly, according to FCC documents the SHW-M100S was only approved for the GSM/GPRS 1900 band, there was no mention of GSM 850, which would enable the device to work across the United States. This leaves us wondering what plans Samsung has for the SHW-M100S – currently the phone is only available in Korea.
Motorola’s Motus mobile phone made another appearance on the FCC today. According to test reports, the Motus, which is also known as the Backflip and Enzo, will feature quad-band GSM, 900/1900/2100 WCDMA, b/g WiFi, and Bluetooth.
FCC filings for the Motus don’t revel much else, but previously leaked specs reveal that the Motus will run Android and rock a 528 MHz processor, 3.1” display and 5 MP camera. The device also has an odd reverse hinge, which flips the keyboard behind the screen so the keys are exposed.
The Motus will be offered by AT&T, although a release date and pricing is not yet available.
The Camangi WebStation popped up on the FCC today, just in time for the device’s projected December release date. The WebStation allows you to surf the web, play audio and video and read eBooks, all on a 7” screen. The device has GPS and WiFi, and you can connect a USB 3G modem to the WebStation as well.
Sadly, the WebStation is still running Android 1.5 – no Eclair goodness here. However, you can download apps for the WebStation from the Camangi Market app store.
Internal pics of the WebStation show the devcie’s Marvell 624 MHz processor, along with Samsung Mobile DDR and Flash memory. The device also only packs a paltry 256 MB of flash memory, although the Micro SD slot does give you extra room for your media.
The WebStation is $399 (or $389 if you order now) and can be pre-ordered here. Camangi expects that the device will ship before the new year.
OPPO, a Chinese manufacturer of PMPs and Blu Ray players is busting into the smartphone market the funky looking Android touchscreen device pictured above. Not much is known about the phone, other than it rocks a 3.5” WVGA capacitive screen and WiFi, along with an interesting lighting scheme of teal lights.
The company plans to release this device sometime in 2010. At this point it seems unlikely that it will be released outside of China, however.

Acer’s highly anticipated A1 smartphone passed through the FCC today. The device rocks a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor running at 768 MHz and Android 2.0.
The A1 has a 3.5” touchscreen, and and a standard suite of smartphone features that include Bluetooth, GPS, b/g WiFi, and a 5 MP camera. It weighs in at about 4.8 ounces and is less than half an inch thick.
I’m eager to see how the A1 performs with Android and the underclocked Snapdragon. Apparently, Acer didn’t do much customization however, so the device will lack some of the bells and whistles of other Android 2.0 devices.
According to SlashGear, the A1 is already on sale through importers.
Dell passed the Mini 3iX smartphone through the FCC today. This device is the US version of Dell’s Mini 3i, a similar Android device that the company is selling in China.
While the FCC filing does not reveal much, the test report does show that the phone will run on 850/1900 GSM/UMTS bands, a good indication that the phone is headed for AT&T.
Other specs that have been leaked around the net include a 3.5” capacitive touchscreen, 3MP camera and LED Flash.
