motorola atila

It’s been a long three months since we scooped the Motorola Atila, the touchscreen-only counterpart to the Motorola Alexander. Since August, updates on this tri-band UMTS/HSDPA phone have been non-existent. As is the standard in pre-production lifespans, live images of the handset have now emerged proving that the Atila does exist and that Motorola still has this phone under development. Nice custom theme, eh? Just as a refresher, the Atila has the following specs:

  • Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE
  • Tri-band UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA (850MHz/1900MHz/2100MHz)
  • 7.2Mbps HSDPA, 1.8Mbps HSUPA
  • 1130mAh battery
  • 2.8″ QVGA 240 x 320 screen
  • Wi-Fi b/g
  • Qualcomm 7201A chipset
  • Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional

The specs on the phone are decent, though we do agree that the screen could use an upgrade. A full VGA screen like the Touch Diamond would be nice or even the 240×400 screen of the Omnia would be a bit better. Hit the jump for another photo showing the more traditional Windows Mobile interface.

    AWS? Ahahahaha! NObody uses that band. T-Mobile has only rolled it out in a small handful of markets. Expect the ignoring of AWS to continue.

    Looks like Moto decided to put iPhone icons on a Blackberry Storm. Way to innovate, Moto! I heard they had an original idea at Motorola once, but it died of loneliness.

    I don’t think it exist. Look closely at the edges of the phone screen, looks photoshopped-esque *shrug*

    Hmmm, touch screen and a trackball, is this similar to what Motorola might give us running Android?

    Damn that thing looks like the bastard child of an iPhone and Bold. No wonder Motorola is insigificant.

    The iPhone interface is a custom interface you can have for WM 6.1

    The second photo is the real Motorola interface for Attila.
