New Nook 3G Appears On The FCC Website

By Best-eReaders, July 18, 2010

Are we going to see a new Nook 3G launched in few weeks? According to the FCC website, B&N applied for a new device code named CR Nook/Bravo Delta. No other details were revealed on the device except the fact that it carries a new 3G chipset.

[UPDATE]

The FCC filing looks like a hardware tweaking. The nook BNRZ100-01 looks to be a minor revision of the original model (the BNRZ100), swapping out the 3G modem used for an updated version. That updated 3G card is the Sierra Wireless MC8201V (again, locked into data-only mode), supporting the 850 and 1900 bands.  

That means that the triband UMTS/HSPA (which added in 2100MHz support) capabilities of the original nook have been lost; it’s possible this is a cost saving measure on B&N’s part.  Of course there’s also WiFi b/g for local networks.

    Wonderful blog you have here but I was curious if you knew of any community forums that cover the same topics discussed in this article? I’d really like to be a part of online community where I can get advice from other knowledgeable people that share the same interest. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Appreciate it!
