I'm no expert at all, but I do know that when we were designing a
device with a Kyocera m200 CDMA data module
(http://www.kyocera-wireless.com/m2m-business/index.htm), the module
itself was carrier (Sprint in our case) approved and FCC approved, but
once we incorporated it into our device, we then had to get it
re-approved by the carrier and the FCC (though it is typically an
easier process when using an approved module already). I think the
deciding factor may be whether the module is "stand-alone" or not...
But I say that with the disclaimer that I could be completely wrong. :)
My experience so far putting modules for both GSM and CDMA into another
product has been similar - even though the module itself is 'approved'
the actual application to which it is put must also be run through an
evaluation process.
As far as carriers in the US, I know Cingular is good for GSM. Not sure
who else? Are approval issues going to be a problem for the Neo1973 in
the States? (Am looking forward to getting one, and not being able to
use it as a phone would be a serious damper.. ;-)

I wouldn't expect such an issue as i expect the GSM module will be
correctly certified and as access is via AT command set you
/shouldn't/ be able to make it do things it's not allowed to...
someone please correct me if i'm incorrect in my assumptions

a while ago, I spoke to both Cingular and T-Mob, I told them I was
doing some work with a gm-862, both said there was nothing in their
service restrictions about connecting with weird equipment like that

Would anyone care to comment on the FCC status of the FIC Neo1973? In
particular, are there any legal challenges associated with using
prototypes on a live GSM network?
