There’s no word on what operating system will power Pure but it doesn’t appear to be Windows Phone 7 Series or Windows Mobile 6.5.

While the FCC filing doesn’t specifically out the HTC handset as Google ( NSDQ: GOOG )’s “superphone,” its model number, PB99300, is very similar to that of the Android-powered Nexus One, PB9910. During the official Nexus One announcement, Google said it would be bringing the handset to Big Red in “spring 2010.” While passing the FCC doesn’t mean a launch is imminent, handsets that jump through the governmental hoops are generally no more than a month or two out
