Android-powered handsets are still rare enough so that the world can’t afford to segment them by continent — when a big model comes out, it’s pretty much got to go everywhere. Okay, correction: it doesn’t have to go everywhere, but we certainly want it to — and fortunately, it looks like some lucky carrier in the Americas is signed up for the Huawei U8220. You might know this puppy better as the Pulse over on T-Mobile in Europe, and a new variant of the device — model number U8220-6 — has just garnered FCC approval in the past few days with 3G on the 850 and 1900MHz bands. That means Bell, Telus, Rogers, Fido, and AT&T could all be on tap to get this one; we doubt that AT&T would make its inaugural Android plunge with a midrange Huawei, but stranger things have happened.
