HP Pre3 gets FCC sighting with webOS 2.3
An FCC filing published Tuesday may have been the go-ahead for HP's upcoming launch of the Pre3 and with a software update surprise in tow. Although not identified by name, the phone is running on AT&T's 850MHz and 1,900MHz 3G bands. Unusually, it's running webOS 2.3 and suggests HP plans to be at least two versions ahead of today's 2.1 by launch.
Inductive charging was also brought up and is likely a reference to the back needed for the Touchstone wireless power dock.
HP has officially promised the Pre3 in the summer and its smaller companion the Veer in the spring. An FCC approval would likely be needed at this point in the year to guarantee the phone can reach the US and possibly other carriers in time. [via MobileCrunch]
