You know what warms our hearts and brings a tear to our weary eye? Opening up the FCC paperwork for a so-called "Nokia RM-350" and being greeted with two things: one, a picture of an N79 just stone-cold chilling on a table, and two, a long-ass table of supported frequencies -- North American 3G stuff included -- with a bunch of "PASSED" remarks next to them. That's the FCC's way of saying "we likey," and you know what? We likey, too.

It is a sad sight when you tend to open one of those dreadful FCC files and find some of the best mobile phones in the world lying rejected by it. The painful part is that a neat phone like the Nokia N79, which is mistakenly referred to as the Nokia RM350, lies grounded while a poorer American version of it sits pretty next to it all set to be launched in the market with an approval of ‘Pass’ stamped on it. This is America’s way of sidelining the others to make themselves more prominent and successful. It is a tear jerker but that is the way it has to be and will remain for time to come.
