Samsung’s Android-powered i7500 Galaxy has been around for some time now but has yet to find its way onto a US carrier. However, Samsung seems to have the device’s younger sibling, the i5700 Galaxy-lite, in the works.

What you see above is a document released by the Wi-Fi Alliance effectively approving said device. Now, we have virtually no details on the Galaxy-lite other than that it features WiFi and will almost definitely be running Android.

However, we’ll keep you posted once Samsung officially announces the i5700 Galaxy-lite.

The Nokia N95 8GB has re-appeared at the FCC. This appears to be a minor update to the hugely popular smartphone. While the FCC documents filed by Nokia are cryptic at best, we managed to find some photographs of a battered N95. While the associated user manual does not have any information on what update the N95 has undergone, you can still go through it if you’ve misplaced your copy.

The Nokia N95 8GB costs US $779, and currently seems to be out of stock.

The Nokia 6500 slide cell phone, which we recently saw on the Whack, has been granted FCC approval, paving its way into the world markets. Equipped with a 3.2 megapixel on-board camera boasting Carl Zeiss optics, the 6500 slide offers a TV-out jack allowing you to make video calls on your TV. It supports microSD memory cards, and a USB interface for data sync. Push-to-talk facility is available as well, but of course your provider should support it.

The Nokia 6500 slide features a 2.2″ QVGA resolution screen. The camera allows you to capture video as well, but I must say I am looking forward to the TV out functionality more than anything. Up to 4GB microSD memory cards are supported on the device. It also supports Nokia Xpress audio messaging (which requires MMS to be activated on the phone). There’s also a full-fledged email client and IM app on the 6500 slide.

The phone appears to be on target for its Q3 2007 release, priced at €370.
