We’re still not sure we understand the business justification for leaving the Snap name off the US version of the phone, but that’s all good — the dryly-named S522 just got hooked up with FCC certification on its way to a likely summer release. This means that there’ll ultimately be two versions of the phone specifically with North America in mind, since T-Mobile USA’s getting an AWS-equipped model as the Dash 3G. Let’s be real, it’s not as exciting as a Touch Pro2 launch — but at least the S522 branding will save us from countless “oh snap” jokes (Josh, we’re looking straight at you).
