SCHAUMBURG, Ill.-A filing on the Federal Communications Commission’s Web site seems to have inadvertently revealed details and pictures of an unannounced Motorola Inc. mobile phone that features an array of advanced features, including picture and video capabilities.
The Motorola A920 seems to use the Symbian operating system and be designed for the third-generation UMTS Hutchison networks in Europe. However, the phone is registered with the U.S.-based FCC and seems to support tri-band GSM, which means it could be used in the United States.
A Motorola spokesman declined to comment on the device.
Motorola has already announced devices for 3G networks, as well as devices for 3G carrier Hutchison. That the device could use the Symbian operating system is interesting because some have guessed Motorola is moving away from Symbian.
Motorola isn’t the only mobile phone maker that seems to have inadvertently revealed information about upcoming devices. Nokia Corp. recently put out a press release detailing its CDMA plans that included information about upcoming CDMA phones, which the company has not yet formerly announced. A Nokia spokeswoman confirmed the company plans to officially release additional CDMA phones next week. Dow Jones reported the company plans to release five new CDMA phones, including several advanced models.
Nokia has in the past stated its intent to improve its CDMA product lineup.
