    When shots of Motorola’s last-ditch handset effort, the Alexander, got out a few days ago, a resounding “meh” shot out across the internet. “Meh” on Windows Mobile 6.1, some said. “Meh” on the painful looking keyboard, said others.

    If the Alexander didn’t get you pumped, perhaps its just spotted sans-QWERTY plus-Touchscreen counterpart, the Atila, might? It’s still on WinMo 6.1, so if that was your pitfall with the Alexander, you won’t find love here. I’m not a big fan of the design and I think Windows Mobile tends to up the suck factor ten-fold, but I’m willing to give this one a doubt-filled fondle.

    The Specs:

    • Touch tablet design
    • Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE
    • Tri-band UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA (850MHz/1900MHz/2100MHz)
    • 7.2Mbps HSDPA, 1.8Mbps HSUPA
    • 802.11 b/g
    • Qualcomm 7201A chipset
    • 2.8″ QVGA 240 x 320 TFT screen
    • Dimensions: 80mm x 109mm x 13.75mm
