Huawei U8100-7 IVY clears the FCC; headed to Australia?

Well, hello shiny sneaky little new phone.  What's that?  You just got your FCC wings today, congratulations!

Yesterday (Monday), the Huawei U8100-7/IVY received the FCC stamp of approval for use on US soil.  The IVY is a GSM/EDGE phone with GSM850/900MHz frequencies and HSDPA/UMTS frequency Band I and Band V supporting 3G data.  The IVY is also enabled for Bluetooth and has received certification from the Wi-Fi Alliance for IEE Standard 802.11 b/g.

The filing came with all sorts of goodies, such as test reports, external and internal photos and a multi-part user manual.  Judging by the 3G Bands and some of the language in the user manual, I suspect this device will be headed to somewhere in Europe and/or Australia.  There didn't seem to be a spec list per se, however the IVY appears to be running Android 2.1 (you can see images of live wallpapers in the manual) and comes with standard features such as a camera and video capture capabilities as well as less common features such as an FM radio tuner.

That's about it for now, but feel free to hit the source links below for more information.  And as always, don't hesitate to leave a comment below!
