A few days ago the Wi-Fi Alliance let us in on a little secret known as the T-Mobile Pulse. Although no information besides the phone’s existence was provided by the Wi-Fi certifcation process, Gizmodo Brazil came through with some pictures and specs of the phone. Now the FCC is doing their part as the T-Mobile Pulse just passed through the FCC!
The Short-Term confidentiality request (PDF) filed by Huawei asks that external photos, internal photos, test setup photos and the users manual be kept secret for 90 days. That means the T-Mobile Pulse will likely launch before the end of 2009! Unfortunately the company mentions they may request an additional 45 days of confidentiality so don’t get your hopes up just yet. But with the existence of the Users Guide the Magic 8-Ball says the outlook is good.
The picture comes from the phone’s FCC label placement (PDF) product is listed with the name “HSPA/UMTS/GPRS/GSM/EDGE Mobile Phone with Bluetooth” and the model name is “T-Mobile Pulse/Pulse/U822o”. If you’re a big enough dork, you can look through the 24 page EMC Test Report (PDF).
More great news for Android Fans… keep it coming!

It is so hard to wait since i’m free from any contracts.. I just wish they’d hurry up with a snapdragon powered android device already!
I can see it now. I wait, I wait, I wait some more, then a bunch of phones are dropped during the holidays. One of them I reallllly want! …and it’ll be so sold out it’ll take til May of 2010 to get it (though by then there may be a suitable replacement!)
Anyone know if the Pulse will support wifi calling with T-Mobile?
The test report is actually at https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/prod/oet/forms/blobs/retrieve.cgi?attachment_id=1154760&native_or_pdf=pdf
Also, it’s mistakenly(?) filed in the database as QISU8820 instead of QISU8220.
I don’t think it will be a problem for anyone here to get the phone they want …we are a very small part of the phone buying public….just pre order whatever you want to get
These people are taking the lead with the help of parents, because as we know, no new discoveries and milestones were achieved without courageous people looking for solutions. ,
