Pictures of the Motorola E690 PDA cell phone are making rounds on the Internet. After enjoying mild success with their Linux-based smartphones, the big M seems to be considering a serious alternative to MS Windows Mobile which runs on the popular Motorola Q phone.

The leaked images reveal that the E690 will support touch-screen and hand-writing recognition. The screen itself is impressive, offering a 262k color TFT display at QVGA resolution. The phone comes with a 2 megapixel camera, and it can be used for video conferencing as well.

Multimedia features include a standard MP3/WMA/AAC/AMR audio player and supported video formats include RealVideo, MPEG4 and H.263. While it's not clear if this is going to be a 3G phone, it has a WAP browser. Other niceties include Bluetooth, built-in viewers for Word/Excel/Powerpoint documents and a mini-USB connection.
