FCC Pre Watch

**TomD** · 01/13/2009, 07:29 PM

Anyone see the FCC approval for the Pre?

When it hits FCC please post the info here.

Nope, I've been looking but its not up yet. Its easy to check though:

Palm's grantee code is O8F, and you'll want something that was granted in 2009.

All that's on there right now is four entries for FCC ID O8F-SKYC, the Treo 850 (aka Pro) CDMA.

How long before release does a phone show up on FCC?

**navyyang** · 01/21/2009, 09:58 PM

maybe 7-10 days, normaly 20-35 days.
it's depends on what PALM want..

Nowadays a company can specifically request that the information be withheld until a certain date, to prevent leaks like it used to cause. That being said, with the device already having been announced, I'm a little surprised it hasn't been put up yet.

Perhaps the FCC docs would just give away too many details about the hardware? I'm not really sure what we don't know though.

I would imagine that Apple is a pro at this.

Hopefully the Pre will show up soon.

Does any of this make any sense???? there are a ton of other liniks, but it does not mean anything to me.

**Se7enth** · 01/22/2009, 03:46 PM

That's the CDMA Treo Pro (Treo 850)

Thank you !

the fcc data is not going to help sales. palm has zero interest in having the fcc release the details of the tests (many of which can be done months before it sells) and good reasons, (giving competitors proprietary info early), to ask it not be released until a day or two before sale starts.

**TomD** · 05/04/2009, 01:32 PM

STILL no FCC Data!

**detective** · 05/04/2009, 02:10 PM

Palm requests confidentiality with the FCC. Likely you will not see anything until release day.

Palm probably has asked the FCC to keep quiet about it until the release date. They've done it before, as has everybody else.

**jhoff80** · 05/04/2009, 02:23 PM

Yeah, within the last year or so, the FCC has gotten much better at keeping things hidden to prevent leaks.

**Pearl_Diva** · 05/04/2009, 04:41 PM

This makes me wonder if part of the reason they couldn't release any sooner is FCC approval. Even if FCC approval has been kept secret, it could still be part of the reason. Maybe they just recently got the OK.

What kind of FCC approval do device makers and/or carriers need for prototype devices? After all, we've already had several sightings of Pres "in the wild" before it has been officially released. Likewise with the iPhone before its official release. Is FCC approval of the device required (even if not yet publicized) for this kind of usage? Or is there some sort of limited licensing that the FCC grants to makers or carriers so that they can test prototype devices or services in the real world?

Interesting question!
