The BlackBerry Presenter makes its way through the FCC

RIM announced the BlackBerry Presenter at CES, and today the device made an appearance on the FCC.  The Presenter is a small, 3.4” x 2.4” x 0.9” device that connects to BlackBerrys via Bluetooth, and allows users to display PowerPoint presos on a display via VGA or S-Video.

The Presenter seems like it would be useful if you don’t want to lug around a laptop, but for the $200 RIM is charging for the Presenter I’d rather buy a tiny netbook.

BlackBerry Curve 8910 shows up on the FCC

image The BlackBerry Curve 8910 was spotted in the wild last week, and today the device made an appearance on the FCC.  FCC filings refer to the 8910 as the RCT41GW (above).  This model number also shows up on the Bluetooth SIG site, confirming that the RCT41GW is in fact the BlackBerry Curve 8910 (below left).

The test report for the 8910 shows support for GSM/EDGE 850/1900.  We don’t learn much more about the device, however, other than the label location pic below, right.

RIM passed a CDMA device called the RCL21CW through the FCC today.  Label-placement pics of the device show Curve branding, so this looks like it will be a new version of the Curve for either Sprint or Verizon.  The test report indicates that the device will have 800/1900 CDMA/EVDO as well as WiFi and Bluetooth, but that’s all we know for now.

Suntech’s BlackBerry clone passes through the FCC

Suntech Technologies certainly picked a familiar form factor for their Lanix X10 smartphone.  The Chinese manufacturer passed the X10 through the FCC today, revealing a design that has much in common with the BlackBerry Bold and Tour.

The X10 is a GSM device, however FCC filings do not reveal the bands on which the device will operate.  I’d suspect there’s not much chance that this device will find widespread distribution in the US, and if it does I’m sure it’ll attract the ire of RIM.
