Motorola IHDP56KZ1 – Mystery phone from Moto coming to T-Mobile

An unidentified Motorola phone with the FCC ID IHDP56KZ1 passed through the FCC today.  The quad band GSM device supports WCDMA bands I, IV and VIII.  Support for WCDMA band IV suggests that the IHDP56KZ1 will be available for T-Mobile in the United States.  Other features of the IHDP56KZ1 include GPS, 802.11 b/g WiFi, and Bluetooth.

At this point, we’re unsure of the IHDP56KZ1’s identity.  However, it is interesting to note that the device uses the same battery as the Motorola Droid and CLIQ.

The FCC ID of the IHDP56KZ1 is also very close to a device we spotted on the FCC last week called the IHDP56KZ2.  We speculated that the IHDP56KZ2 was a version of the Droid for AT&T, so perhaps the IHDP56KZ1 is a version of the Droid (or Milestone) for T-Mobile.

It’s also possible that the IHDP56KZ1 is the CLIQ XT, which Motorola unveiled today at MWC.  However, the CLIQ XT reportedly uses a 1,420 mAh battery, while the SNN5843A battery listed in the FCC filings of the IHDP56KZ1 is only 1,300 mAh.

We’ll keep you updated as we learn more.

Is the Motorola IHDP56KZ2 the Droid for AT&T?

Motorola passed a device with the FCC ID IHDP56KZ2 through the FCC today.  The device features quad band GSM, WCDMA bands I, II and V, Bluetooth, b/g WiFi and GPS.

RF reports show that the battery on the IHDP56KZ2 is the same battery used on the Motorola Droid for Verizon.  As you can see above, the top image shows the IHDP56KZ2 with the SNN5843A battery, while the bottom image shows the Droid (FCC ID IHDP56KC1) with the same battery.  This, combined with the IHDP56KZ2’s support for AT&T WCDMA bands suggests that we may be looking at a version of the Droid for AT&T.  We also can’t help but notice the similarity between the FCC IDs on these two devices.

Before we get ahead of ourselves, we must also note the the Motorola CLIQ uses the same SNN5843A battery as the Droid.  However, the CLIQ already supports quad band GSM and WCDMA bands I, IV and VIII, and we think it’s unlikely that Motorola would release a new version of the CLIQ just to support WCDMA bands II and V.

We’ll keep you updated as we learn more – in the meantime our fingers are crossed in hopes that this is a new Droid for AT&T.

Motorola’s RF2IRKIT brings RF to cable STBs

Most cable boxes come with a basic IR remote.  And while IR works fine when you’re sitting in front of your TV, it’s not so effective if you’re walking around your house or break the line of sight to your STB.

That’s why we’re fairly interested in Motorola’s RF2IRKIT remote that passed through the FCC today.  This remote uses RF, meaning it will work within a 100 foot range of your STB, even if you’re behind walls or on a different floor.

The RF2IRKIT remote communicates with an IR blaster that sits in front of your STB and other AV equipment.  Just program your equipment into the RF2IRKIT and you’re set.

Sure, there are a ton of RF remotes out there, but many of those remotes are niche, high end products.  The RF2IRKIT sports ‘On Demand’ buttons, so it will likely be offered with cable STBs, which should go a long way to bringing RF to the mainstream.

Motorola has been active on the WiMAX front, and today the company passed a new USB WiMAX dongle through the FCC.  The device is known as the USBw25200, and it offers support for WiMAX frequencies 2.5- 2.7 GHz.

There’s no indication of when the USBw25200 will be released, although we suspect the device will be offered by Clearwire’s CLEAR service.

External photos of the device show a bright orange version of the SBG6580 in addition to a more traditional black version.  No word on pricing or availability.

Motorola’s i296 iDEN phone passed through the FCC today.  The device supports 800 and 900 MHz iDEN bands, as well as Motorola’s MOTO Talk technology.  The i296 will also feature Bluetooth- but that’s all we know about the device.

No word on pricing or availability, but we’d guess that the i296 shows up on Sprint sometime soon.

The Motorola Motus makes another appearance on the FCC

January 5th, 2010 japa Comments off

imageMotorola’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.

Motorola LS1000W – 10 inch connected goodness

Sure, when you think Motorola you think Droid, but the company also makes a decent line of digital picture frames.  This 10.4” model called the LS1000W passed through the FCC today, exposing a host of connectivity and photo-sharing options.

The LS1000W allows you to display content from Picasa, Flickr or RSS feeds.  The frame also supports FrameChannel, which allows you to create slideshows for the device online.  Photos can be sent and received via email with the LS1000W, as well.

You can also display photos on the LS1000W the old fashioned way with a USB flash drive or SD/MMC card.  The frame can also play music and videos from external media, or play WEB Radio music streams.

That’s a lot of functionality for a photo frame.  Who knows why Motorola is still in the digital picture frame business, but the LS1000W seems like a decent option.
