Looks like it is time for a refresher course in Nokia CDMA phones. Go to the FCC site svartifoss2.fcc.gov and enter the code for Nokia (GML) and the range of dates you want to search. Nokia CDMA phones have an 8 in the third digit. The only two I can find on the FCC site are the 5185i and 6185i. It is readily apparent that there is no MSM inside. As far as I know, no cellular phone can be sold in the US with out an FCC approval. The FCC cares about the RF emission from the phone, so any changes made to the RF chain would require an approval. Changes, such as software changes to improve performance on a service provider's network would not require a new FCC approval. I do not think a MSM could be substituted for the current DSP, without RF changes. After all, 1/3 of the cost of an MSM is the analog and RF support chips. The 5185i All FCC docs at svartifoss2.fcc.gov Inside at svartifoss2.fcc.gov The 6185i All at svartifoss2.fcc.gov Inside at svartifoss2.fcc.gov Yes, the site is slow and the search engine rather hard to use. It is our tax dollars at work and but we should be happy we are not getting all of the government we are paying for. No MSM yet :-(
