We have talked about the Alexander and the Attila, two new Windows Mobile phones from Motorola. We have an general idea of what these smartphones are capable of but we don’t have clear release dates and prices. Some said we’ll see them by Q4 2008 but that might not happen.

It looks like Motorola is going to work with the Taiwanese hardware manufacturer Compal and Moto has already sent orders for two Windows Mobile phones. The handsets will arrive in Q1 2009 which means Santa won’t be able to deliver any Alexanders or Attilas this Christmas.

So we’ve seen the Alexander from Motorola last week and now we discover it has an almost twin brother. Well not a similar twin brother in any case as the Atila (that’s Alexander’s brother’s name) lacks the full QWERTY keyboard.

Besides that, the Atila will be the first Motorola handset with tri-band UMTS/HSDPA. Hooray for that. Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE, 7.2Mbps HSDPA, 1.8Mbps HSUPA, 2.8 inch QVGA 240×320 screen WiFi b/g and Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional are already included.

So let’s see when Atila and Alexander get released and which one will be more expensive. Any bets?
