Having apparently (finally) given up on the Internet Tablet strategy of old, we’ve been anxiously awaiting more confirmed news with regards to Nokia’s forthcoming Maemo-powered handset codenamed Rover. As it were, a not so mysterious handset just popped up in the hallowed pages of the FCC website — that’s right people, the Rover is confirmed and it looks to be destined for T-Mobile. To be clear, this is not an Internet Tablet a la 770/N800/N810 — this is the first in a series of Maemo 5-powered smartphones Nokia has in store for us. Here are a few specs gleaned from FCC documentation:

• Quadband GSM/GPRS/EDGE, tri-band WCDMA (850/1700/2100)
• Bluetooth + EDR
• Wi-Fi
• FM Transmitter
  
• Slide-out QWERTY keypad
  
• Nokia BL-5J 1320 mAh battery

What was that? 1700 aaaand 850MHz WCDMA? Yummy.
