, Apr 28th 2010 Discuss [0]

Sagem's Puma phone has cleared the FCC this week, but don't get too excited; an official debut in the US is still some ways off.  The 2.8-inch touchscreen handset - which is heavily skinned with Puma-themed content and apps - currently lacks US 3G support, unsurprising given Sagem themselves told us earlier this month that an official US launch wasn't expected until the first half of 2011.
