Samsung typically dominates the FCC certification list on a given week, but this week Nokia made a decent showing. Two Nokia models passed through the agency's gates, including the Nokia N86 with an 8-megapixel camera. Because the Federal Communications Commission has to certify every phone sold in the United States, not to mention test its SAR rating, the agency's online database offers a lot of sneak peeks to those who dig. And to save you the trouble, Crave has combed through the database for you. Here is a selection of filings from the past week on new and upcoming cell phones. Click through to read the full report.
