FCC Approves iPhone

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the hitting-the-airwaves dept.

An anonymous reader alerted us that the iPhone is one step closer to hitting shelves. "The Federal Communications Commission approved Apple Inc.'s iPhone, clearing the way for the combined phone and music player to hit the shelves. Apple expects to begin selling the phones in late June. Some of the FCC documents confirm a few features of the phone, including it will have Bluetooth and Wi-Fi and will operate in the 1900MHz and 850MHz frequency bands. The phone uses GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) technology and the low-speed GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) wireless data standard."

    why would they release it in the USA when there is FUCK ALL 3G coverage? the international version will no doubt have 3G, as they aren't ass-backwards like the USA.
