A flagship Nokia E90 communicator has been approved by FCC last Friday.

E90 is the first communicator to be included into the Nokia  ESeries business smartphone line-up and it comes stuffed with almost everything that Nokia could think off. Like QWERTY keyboard, big 800×320px internal screen, GPS navigation, 3.2 Mpx camera, WLAN and HSDPA connectivity, office productivity applications, VoIP and video calling, Intellysinc Mobile suite and many other cool things.

Nokia E90 is expected to go on sale in Q2 of this year and should cost somewhere around $1000 before subsidies.

Another 3GSM goodie to be approved by FCC is the “worlds thinnest phone”, Samsung U100 Ultra Edition 5.9. Samsung U100 is a triband (900/1800/1900) EDGE/GPRS phone that comes with 3 megapixel camera, multimedia player, Bluetooth connectivity and is only 5.9 mm thin.

It should go on sale also sometime in Q2 2007.
