Motorola Alexander and Motorola Attila live pics

We’ve known since early August that Motorola Atila and Alexander touchscreen phones are in the works.

And we’ve even some live pics of a working Motorola Attila phone recently.

Well, today we have some more live pics for you, courtesy of Chinese site IT168.com:

Well, apart from the live pics, there’s no additional info about the new handsets. We already knew some specs, but not much.

The only new thing that can be gleaned from these pictures is the screen size of Motorola Alexander. We know that Attila wil have 2.8″ display, and Alexander’s screen in the picture is obviously smaller. So it probably will be 2.6″.

Other then that, we’ll have to wait for more leaks, that I’m sure are coming if Motorola won’t announce the new phones soon.

MOTO QA30 leaked: Motorola’s first QWERTY slider

MOTO QA30 leaked: Motorola’s first QWERTY slider

Why look what we have here: MOTO QA30, the very first Motorola slider that features a full QWERTY keyboard.

The QA30 has a pretty weird form factor, somehow resembling AT&T’s Samsung Propel.

Unlike the Propel, however, which is a GSM phone, MOTO QA30 is a CDMA one that, according to the images found at Howard Forums, will be released by Alltel in the US.

Of course, we don’t know yet when this will happen. We do have, though, most of the specs and features that MOTO QA30 will come with.

Here they are:

  • 1x-EVDO connectivity
  • 2.5 inch TFT display with 320 x 240 pixels and 65K colors
  • Threaded messaging
  • Full HTML browser
  • Facebook access
  • Email, IM
  • 3.5mm headset jack (nice!)
  • Stereo Bluetooth 2.0
  • USB 2.0
  • 2MP camera
  • MicroSD / MicroSDHC card support, up to 32GB

There are no details on the price of MOTO QA30, but the handset shouldn’t cost too much. After all, it’s not even a smartphone, hence it doesn’t have Windows Mobile, like the latest official device from the Q series – Motorola Q 11.

Motorola Attila shows up in the wild

Motorola Attila shows up in the wild

Slowly but surely, Motorola is easing away from the tired design of the old RAZR and looks ready to try something new. Their first QWERTY slider could be launching soon, in the form of the Motorola QA30, and now we find that the Motorola Attila, too, takes on a new approach in design.

If these leaked Motorola Attila pictures turn out to be of the real thing, that is. You see, while we here at Unwired View are as thirsty for new material as the next phone geek, we’re not entirely convinced that Motorola will launch a robust, iPhone clone-like handheld like this one as their official iPhone killer.

We have faith left in Motorola, no matter how little, and somehow know that they won’t (or shouldn’t) come out with a monstrosity such as this, if their successful days with the slim and sharp RAZR taught them any good.

The fact that the second photo we’ve embedded here shows the alleged Motorola Attila with a very iPhone-esque theme doesn’t help convince us either. With a theme like that, it might as well be just another clone, much like the Motorola Aura knock-off we spotted last week.

Well, if ever they get their chance, I’m sure Motorola will officially announce and release the Attila… some day. By then, we’ll find out if “antony3322@PhoneHK” was right all along.

Motorola MOTO VE66 gets officially announced

Motorola MOTO VE66 gets officially announced

A couple of its photos have been leaked before, and its user-interface has been exposed, but now the Motorola MOTO VE66 is officially official. Yep, you can’t get any more official than that.

This is Motorola’s first feature-rich phone in quite a long time, packing in a 5-megapixel camera, built-in Wi-Fi, and a 2.2-inch TFT LCD screen in a 15.2 mm thin body.

As for the overall package, the MOTO VE66 isn’t that bad. In fact, it’s one of Motorola’s best-equipped phones this year. And at least it’s got the looks to go along with the great features, for anyone who would be interested.

Here are the Motorola MOTO VE66’s key features:

- GSM 850/900/1800/1900, EDGE Class 12
- Dimensions: 103 x 49.5 x 15.2mm
- Weight: 121 g
- Operating System: MOTOMAGX
- 5-megapixel autofocus camera with LED flash and 8x zoom
- 30FPS video recording and playback
- CrystalTalk II technology
- Built-in Wi-Fi and support for AGPS
- Fast Scroll wheel and intuitive tactile music navigation key
- Windows Media Player 11
- USB 2.0 connectivity
- 110MB user memory and support for up to 32GB microSD cards
- Built-in FM radio with RDS

This handset here is intended for release in South East Asia, China, India, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, though you shouldn’t be surprised if you hear about it in Timbuktoo. It’s not that hard to import mobile phone units. Watch out for it in Q4 2008.

Motorola launches the MOTO VE240 in the US

Motorola launches the MOTO VE240 in the US

MOTO VE240 is the name of latest phone that Motorola has prepared for the mobile users in the US.

The new phone was just announced today and it will be available soon via Cricket Communications and MetroPCS, two of the largest regional US mobile carriers.

Coming as a simple candybar, Motorola VE240 is not exactly the hottest phone around. Its features are also far from what we can find in handsets like the Moto Krave ZN4, for example. But that’s OK, since the VE240 is a device made for customers who are on a budget.

Here are the known specs and capabilities of MOTO VE240:

  • 1.5 inch CSTN display with 128 x 128 pixels and 65K colors
  • MP3 player
  • Bluetooth
  • “High audio” speakerphone
  • 2.5-mm stereo headset jack
  • USB 2.0
  • Picture messaging
  • MicroSD and SDHC card support, up to 4GB
  • 112 x 47 x 14.5 mm

Cricket said the MOTO VE240 will be available for only $89.99 after a $30 instant rebate. Tusla will be the first town to get the new candybar, while Cricket’s other markets should get it starting the coming weeks.

MetroPCS will launch the MOTO VE240 in the next weeks too, but it didn’t say for what price.
