This week was packed with news on the mobile front, so it was easy to miss a few stories here and there. Here’s some of the other stuff that happened in the wide world of wireless for the week of November 28, 2011:
Last week, the FCC announced that it had approved AT&T’s request to purchase 700MHz spectrum from Qualcomm — previously used to support MediaFLO service — but it hasn’t finalized the process yet. So, the company recently met with the FCC to ask if the deal can be sped up. [Phone Scoop]
The Nokia Lumia 800 is rumored to finally be available at O2 beginning December 9th. [Unwired View]
Nokia also announced the X2-02, a Series 40 dual-SIM handset geared towards music. It comes with an audio processing feature that brings clear sound, dedicated music keys and a feature that lets you play recordings directly from the FM radio. It also offers a 2.2-inch QVGA display, dedicated Facebook and Twitter clients, 2MP camera and 9.7 hour talk time. Sadly, the phone doesn’t come with 3G included, and no markets or launch dates were announced, but it’ll be priced around €60 before subsidy. [Unwired View]
Cincinnati Bell added the HTC Radar 4G to its lineup this week and is available for free to new customers with a two-year commitment and after a $ 100 mail-in rebate; existing customers eligible for an upgrade can get it for $ 100 on contract and after $ 50 mail-in rebate. [BusinessWire]
Samsung just released SDK 1.0 for the S Pen, also known as the stylus for the Galaxy Note. As to be expected, the kit will aid developers in writing apps that will take advantage of the pen. [Android Police]
