Spy Shots of the Motorola Atila emerge

It’s been a long three months since we scooped the Motorola Atila, the touchscreen-only counterpart to the Motorola Alexander. Since August, updates on this tri-band UMTS/HSDPA phone have been non-existent. As is the standard in pre-production lifespans, live images of the handset have now emerged proving that the Atila does exist and that Motorola still has this phone under development. Nice custom theme, eh? Just as a refresher, the Atila has the following specs:

Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE
Tri-band UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA (850MHz/1900MHz/2100MHz)
7.2Mbps HSDPA, 1.8Mbps HSUPA
1130mAh battery
2.8″ QVGA 240 x 320 screen
Wi-Fi b/g
Qualcomm 7201A chipset
Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional

The specs on the phone are decent, though we do agree that the screen could use an upgrade. A full VGA screen like the Touch Diamond would be nice or even the 240×400 screen of the Omnia would be a bit better. Hit the jump for another photo showing the more traditional Windows Mobile interface.

The folks over at Blackberry News got a hold of spy shot of 9500 series Job Aid that confirms the existence of a GSM-only variant of the Blackberry Storm. So we have a North American Variant headed to Verizon (and possibly Bell) and now a European Variant most likely headed to Vodafone. The document lists the following specs:

7.2 Mbps HSDPA/UMTS (2100/1900/850 MHz)
Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850/900/1800/1900 MHz)
1GB of memory, 192MB RAM
1400 mAhr battery. Standby time: 528 hours
MicroUSB port
MicroSD and MicroSDHC expandable up to 8GB
3.2 megapixel camera, flash, 2.5x digital zoom, auto focus, and image stabilization
Video capture. Normal mode (480×320) and MMS mode (176×144)
Assisted GPS – Enhanced version of GPS that performs at a faster speed

Thoughts? No Wi-Fi really sucks…

Leaked video of Nokia E72 and E75 emerges

It looks like Nokia might have two new enterprise handsets looming on the horizon. The guys over at Symbian Freak have uncovered a video (unfortunately pulled from YouTube on behalf of Nokia, but not before some screen shots were snagged!) of two new Eseries phones. The E72 basically appears to be an E71 dipped in paint (though it may have a 5 megapixel camera) while the E75 is an entirely new form factor for Nokia’s high end line. It’s a slim candy bar with a traditional 0-9 keypad beneath the screen as well as a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. Not much else is known about these new phones. Hit the jump for a bunch of stills from the video.
