It was only last week when we spotted an image of the new Motorola handset uniquely code-named Alexander, and now here comes another handset this time codenamed Atila. Well, Atila looks very much alike the Alexander minus the QWERTY keyboard. But aside from the absence of this feature, the Atila handset also differs from the Alexander by virtue of it being Motorola’s first mobile phone that will have tri-band UMTS/HSDPA feature.

The Motorola Atila is both a quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE and tri-band UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA (850MHz/1900MHz/2100MHz) phone that features both 7.2Mbps and 1.8Mbps HSUPA download speeds, a 1130mAh battery, a 2.8-inch QVGA 240 x 320 display screen, Wi-Fi b/g, Qualcomm 7201A chipset and has Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional for its OS.

Unlike the Motorola Alexander which is expected to hit the shelves sometime in October, release date and pricing information for Atila the handset are not yet available.
