Looks like the first gen iPhone has been approved by the FCC. Can't wait for the second gen (hopefully with 3G) so it'll be worth the cash and 2 year commitment to buy one. I'll stick with my BlackBerry 8800 for now.
According to FCC documents obtained by AppleInsider, the "GSM Cellular Telephone with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi" carriers model number A1203 and FCC ID: BCGA1203.
In an SAR Test Report conducted on February 6th, 2006, FCC Test Lab Manager Lothar Schmidt wrote the following:
"The Apple Inc. A1203 GSM Cellular Telephone with Bluetooth and Wifi, FCC ID: BCGA1203, is in compliance with the limits for general population uncontrolled exposure specified in FCC 2.1093. The device was tested according to the measurement standards and procedures specified in FCC OET Bulletin 65, Supplement C (Edition 01-01) and IEEE p1528/D1.2, April 21, 2003."
Copies of the actual FCC docs are also available on the Apple Insider page.
i realize that the FCC are not the clearest documents to read, however please let me assure you that there is NO WAY apple would have claimed the iPhone was quad-band when it is only dual-band. The reason you made this incorrect assumption is that the FCC only requires manufacturers to file tests of their equipment on American bands, not all bands the phone operates on. So Apple did not file any 900 or 1800 MHz test documents with the FCC. No manufacturer does. Most manufacturers do file at least one letter describing every operating mode and band of their phone, but Apple has either chosen not to file this or kept this document confidential.

Sweet, glorious specs of the 11.6 millimeter device (that's frickin' thin, by the way) include a 3.5-inch 480 x 320 touchscreen display with multi-touch support and a proximity sensor to turn off the screen when it's close to your face
