Motorola Alexander and Attila Coming Next Quarter

Two Motorola smartphones that surfaced over the summer as rumors are reportedly now scheduled to be released in the first few months of 2009.

These devices -- code-named the Alexander and Attila -- will run Windows Mobile and will have a very similar tablet design. The Alexander, though, will add a sliding hardware keyboard.

Both models had originally been scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2009, but have been pushed back to the first quarter of next year, according to Chinese-language Commercial Times.

They will be manufactured by Compal.

According to information that leaked on these smartphones a few months ago, the Attila will run Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro and be centered on its 2.8-inch QVGA touchscreen.

It will sport quad-band GSM/EDGE along with tri-band UMTS/HSPA, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

Information on the Alexander is sketchier, but many have bee assuming that this device will have the same feature set as the Attila, but with a built-in sliding keyboard.
