FCC signs off on Samsung i770 -- global version of Verizon's i760?

by Chris Ziegler, posted May 4th 2008 at 3:11PM

Remember when we caught wind that Verizon was prepping a worldband version Samsung's i760 Windows Mobile piece? That rumor's suddenly gained a lot more credence now that we've seen a so-called SCH-i770 pass through the FCC's hallowed halls, especially considering the device outline's uncanny resemblance to that of the aforementioned i760. We'd previously heard that there might be some HSDPA on board, and while we're not seeing any evidence of that from the FCC's test reports, we can confirm that it'll feature EV-DO, WiFi, and Bluetooth in addition to all the GSM you'll need to get by while roaming through mysterious foreign lands. No word on when we might actually see an announcement about this one, but we imagine Verizon doesn't want to wait that much longer -- the i760 design isn't getting any younger, y'know.

From FCC RF Test Documents:

GSM/CDMS/GPRS/EVDO

No HSPDA unless tested by some other lab. Knowing Samsung and Verizon.

Years old tech today! Not going to have it. I doubt it will have EVDO Rev A.
