i didnt think there would have been much chance that it wouldnt have got approval. Apple must have been designing this for years. Maybe someone technically minded can divulge some extra information out of the information revealed here though...

This has little to nothing to do with the OS development or form... just that the radio devices meet certain standards and whatnot.

Yes, it's an important benchmark but it doesn't really boast Apple's brilliance or anything.

Jobs said the reason it would be released in June was because the FCC approval takes a while. Doesn't this show that it was approved 2 months ago?

Woooo! This is nothing but excellent news. :D

But who in the world voted this as negative? I don't get people sometimes... but yeah, kudos to Apple! Almost there!

I've never seen an IMEI thats alphanumeric meaning both letters and numbers. It's always 15 numbers


if you dont believe me dial *#06# on your GSM-Phone keypad your IMEI will display

The documents indicate that Apple submitted them to the FCC on March 9th. After evaluation by the FCC, authorization was granted today.

From the approval letter...notice the right side:

In my imagination
--YAWN!--

Wake me up when it's on Sprint's network in 5 or so years. (-_-)

I will be very happy with my soon to be Palm 755p and 2GB micro SD cards. I ain't paying $1200 to switch to a reasonably better company just to get a kick arse phone... I will pay half that and keep my reasonably good company and upgrade to a reasonably kick arse phone.

By the way... Apple's iPhone division... you suck! :mad:

Or next month, depending on which way you stand on your head.

I wish we could all use a standard date format, or an unambiguous one like 17-MAY-2007

by chance are you from UK? Dates here are backwards when compared to US eg. 12/4/2007 =4/12/2007 = :confused:
Im all for 17-MAY

The letters for approval are dated March 8th, 2007, and first appeared on the FCC site today.

Go Here for some more documents from the FCC Site. When you get there, enter BCG for the Grantee Code and A1203 for the Product Code. Sorry about that.

After reading some of them, it looks like Apple requested that some of the specifications be kept confidential for 45 days. I guess that's one of the reasons we are only seeing this now. Also, the docs I referenced point to a grant date of 5/17/2007 (in the US standard of MM/DD/YYYY). I don't understand all the testing that was done, but it sure looks like there was a lot of it. Have fun reading.

Have you read the Confidentiality letter ? Tis funny :) Apple trying to cover their backs.

I'm sure that's common language for any new device. After all, it's not like they are keeping anything from the FCC with that request.

I am partial towards May 17th. I just think it works better when you know what month it is first, then the day. Call me a good ole American cowboy.

either way, but using a word instead of number will keep my happy!

I wish i could even try to understand the documents in the disclosure...i feel so dull...
