Motorola has decided to surprise us all today when it announced the availability of three new handsets. These are the Renew W233, the Tundra VA76r and the SURF A3100 or Atila.

The Renew W233 will be arriving from T-Mobile next month while the Tundra VA76r clamshell phone is going to arrive from AT&T sooner or later. The Renew is supposed to be the first phone made from recycled water bottles. It has dual-band 850/1900 GSM/EDGE radio and it will get you 9 hours of talk time and microSD cards up to 2GB. The Tundra will run on the MOTOMAGX platform from Motorola and it will get you quad-band GSM/EDGE and dual-band 850/1900 HSDPA 3.2Mbps. A 2 megapixel camera, Stereo Bluetooth, aGPS and a 4GB microSD card complete the specs list.

The most interesting handset is by far the Atila. We’ve talked about it more than once and now we know it will offer tri-band 3G, a 3 megapixel camera, WiFi, aGPS, Stereo Bluetooth and support for 32GB microSD cards. The Atila will arrive in Q1 in Asian markets and other markets are probably going to follow soon.

We don’t have prices for any of the three phones yet but I guess you figured that out so far.

We’ve talked about the Motorola Atila and the Motorola Alexander in the past. Atila is the touchscreen version of the Alexander all Motorola’s way to compete against the Apple. But we don’t know when or where the Atila will be launched. The phone is out there, in the wild, which means some markets will see it in the future.

Let’s refresh our memory in terms of specs:

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

We’ll have to return with prices and availability dates at some point in the future.

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?
