Samsung Galaxy Note with AT&T 3G shows at FCC

Introduction of crossover device still uncertain.
A version of the Samsung Galaxy Note sporting AT&T's 3G radios has received regulatory approval from the FCC. The approved device, a crossover between a tablet and smartphone, is equipped with the HSPA+ 850MHz and 1,900MHz data bands. The phone was originally put before the FCC in late September.
The Galaxy Note centers on a larger 5.3-inch Super AMOLED touchscreen with a 1280x800 resolution. It sports a dual-core 1.4GHz processor, a rear facing eight megapixel rear camera, and a front facing two megapixel camera.
Samsung has been shipping the phone to Europe since late October. The phone/tablet does share some similarities with the iPhone. Despite the similarities which could cause it to fall under the same injunction that Apple has in place banning the sale of the Galaxy Tab in Germany.
Although the device does have FCC approval, neither AT&T nor the Canadian carriers that use its bands have confirmed any plans. [via Wireless Goodness]

Yep, Rounded corners...
Thank God Steve had a dramatic failure with the Newton, otherwise iFans would claim Apple invented the stylus!
