Earlier this month, the veiled FCC registration by "i-Sirius" caused many an eyebrow to be raised. Speculation had since ensued, with theories of potential products and partnerships (from an iPhone competitor, to a pending deal with Apple) began swimming around.
Luckily though, even though the FCC application asked for confidentiality, one of the test reports (PDF) apparently included a photo of the upcoming device (pictured).
And here's what we know:
- The company is named "i-Sirius Co.,Ltd" and they're located in Seoul, Korea
- The device will be a GSM 850/1900 phone
- It will be branded as the Motorola FX-850P
Nothing in the test reports seem to indicate a satellite radio device. And looking at the photo, it doesn't appear that any audio controls are visible, so I would rule out any relations to Sirius here, other than the name.
Is that the ReGo I heard it was comming out soon. Looks cool if you ask me.
Man that doesn't look like any cell phone. Thanks for pointing out that pic. I missed that. I thought maybe i-Sirius would be a replacement for iRadio from Motorola. But that ain't no cell phone.
well 2 bad cause its smaller tham a serious unit
It is a cell phone. It's a desktop cell phone. Other companies sell them too.

They work pretty well as I am using one at my desk in my office on the 25th floor of a high rise office building where conventional cellphones don't work. the only advantage of the phone is the better reception and signal strength. (antenna).
