Motorola Atila Ready to Conquer Non-Keyboard Phone Market?
Posted by Paul Martin in "Pocket PC Hardware" @ 05:00 PM
"Another leaked Motorola handset? You bet! This time we've got the brother-in-law to the Motorola Alexander - no QWERTY keyboard - with a pretty decent spec sheet. This one is codenamed Atila, and if you haven't caught on to Motorola's code names for Windows Mobile devices, they are all named after great conquerors; Alexander, Atila, Ghenghis, etc. The Atila is actually the first Motorola device that will have tri-band UMTS/HSDPA. Finally, right? We're not sure on a release date, but here's an introduction of the specs, followed by the actual spec sheet..."
BoyGeniusReport has the goods on a possible upcoming Motorola phone. Unlike an earlier leaked report from BGR on the Motorola Alexander, there's no sliding QWERTY keyboard hiding underneath. Here are the specs from BGR:
• 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
Ed will be pleased to note there's no Bluetooth listed. Still, it's a nice combo of acronymns. No release date yet.
