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.
The reference to Attila the Hun, the Hungarian king in the 5th century, is more than obvious, so Motorola seems to be seriously preparing itself for re-conquering the mobile market.
The American manufacturer will need good-looking and well-featured new handsets. And if we look at Motorola Atila, we discover exactly a device of this kind.
The design of Atila is somehow a mix between BlackBerry Bold, LG Dare and Apple's iPhone, so the result could have only been a nice handset.
Like the Alexander, Motorola Atila will run on Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional. Unlike it, the Atila does not have a hardware QWERTY keyboard, being a touch-only Pocket PC.
The first good thing about the new Motorola is that it brings quad-band GSM connectivity (850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz) with GPRS and EDGE, and tri-band HSPA connectivity (850 / 1900 / 2100 MHz). This makes the device capable of working about anywhere in the world, as long as there's at least a GSM network deployed. Moreover, the 3G connectivity should allow the handset to achieve data transfers of up to 7.2 Mbps in downlink or up to 1.8 Mbps in uplink.
