Motorola Alexander and Attila spotted, but not clearly

This is really just confirmation of existence more than anything, given that we've already seen purported shots of both the Attila and Alexander before, but at least we're assured that these forthcoming Motorola smartphones are more than just subjects of one's Photoshopping escapades. The image you see above is accompanied by no additional information whatsoever, but we must say, these look strangely seductive in greyscale. Could these really be the first truly black-and-white handsets? Do it Moto, we dare you.

The Alexander doesn't look as horrible in greyscale. I just wish they would make better use of the real estate up top and make the screen bigger, if the whole top of the phone was entirely a touchscreen with the QWERTY keyboard hiding below I'd be in love

Compal Communications lands Windows Mobile-based PDA phone orders from Motorola, says paper
Commercial Times, November 28; Steve Shen, DIGITIMES [Friday 28 November 2008]

Compal Communications has received orders for two Windows Mobile-based PDA phones, codenamed the Alexander and Attila, from Motorola, according to a Chinese-language Commercial Times report.

While both PDA phones are supporting 3.5G and Wi-Fi technologies, the Alexander features a sliding-out QWERTY keyboard and the Attila features an iPhone-like touch panel, said the paper, which also noted that shipments of the two PDA phones are now set in the first quarter of 2009 instead of the fourth quarter of 2008 as originally planned.
