Motorola's XT531 hits the FCC, ready for its US crossover

[http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2011/08/motorolaxt531-20110804-1313707311.jpg](http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/19/motorolas-xt531-hits-the-fcc-ready-for-its-us-crossover/)  	[Motorola's](http://www.engadget.com/tag/motorola/) XT531 has gone through more [name](http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/01/motorola-domino-says-cheese-to-the-spy-camera/) [changes](http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/04/motorola-makes-the-budget-friendly-xt531-official-will-be-avail/) than a certain rapper-cum-vodka shilling mogul, and the trend might continue as it makes its way to the US. The budget-friendly handset, known as the Fire XT in Europe and the Spice XT in Latin America, has just surfaced at the FCC toting AT&T-compatible GSM bands, UMTS / HSDPA 850MHz / 1900MHz support, WiFi and Bluetooth. Based on Moto's official PR for the handset's Chinese release, we know this 3.5-incher also sports a front-facing VGA / 5 megapixel rear camera, and is set to launch with Android 2.3 onboard. With [Google's newest pal](http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/15/google-acquiring-motorola-mobility/) clearly chasing after heat-related naming conventions, we expect to see this one launch with an equally *caliente* moniker.
