Latest News Nokia 6133 Discovered On T-Mobile Site Today, 1:18 AM source: T-Mobile / FCC The FCC last week approved a hearing aid compatible (HAC) version of the Nokia 6126, and along with it a variant with a different keypad and an FM radio called the 6133. The 6133 has been listed as a carrier-dependent variant, and it was suspected that this would be for T-Mobile. Two photos that match the FCC photos for the 6133 have both been found on T-Mobile's site and each has a file name with 6133 in the title, confirming those suspicions. The 6133 is a quad-band GSM/EDGE phone with a QVGA screen, 1.3 Megapixel camera, Micro SD slot, Bluetooth and an FM radio. Although pictures are available, the phone is not listed on the site yet. A price and release date are not available.
I believe the "Hearing Aid Compatiable" is a big issue with allowing Analog to be shut down, there was a discussion on this on the FCC's filing site that they needed phones to have this ability.
I am not sure if it's the way the signal goes into the hearing aid or the way it's picked up by the unit, I have no idea why. but I do remember in the FCC part 22 revision it was 1 of the main concerns on shutting down Analog. It even has it on this page for the FCC: http://wireless.fcc.gov/services/index.htm?job=about_cellular_reports&id=cellular
