atleast moto is moving in the right direction...to bad their reputation is whats killing them
Atila?! as in "the Hun" ?!? This is a name that Motorola wants for its cell phone? No wonder they are dying.
It's an internal code name for the product dumb ass!
Is it really that hard for Motorola to make a good-looking phone these days?
It looks pretty sleek to me. It's got that iPhone style minimalist look without being a blatant copy.
agree with chefgon, looks good to me
are u f-in kidding me. it looks great! what's with you people and your bias.
what's wrong with the way it looks?
fugly, like its counterpart alexander, but the specs are nice (for once on a motorola phone) :)
Fug you.
no nevr mind dat shig i wrote...give it tmobile 3g and 5mp autoflash camera and its good 2 go...oh and keep the wifi and 13.75mm thin body plz
maybe fake? Running what looks like WM 6 Smartphone when there is no keyboard? Interesting.... maybe WM 7? or touch smartphone?
That's WM6.0 standard, good call...
Someone at Moto fucked up there...
More like 'Meh' is the word.
nevermind, its professional. I can't read apparently...
That's Moto's Android phone!
I guess you didn't notice the Windows Mobile menu bar at the bottom :^)
I seriously hate the 2-paned menu system on mobile phones. It's pretty cumbersome enough. I hope WinMo 7 changes this.
Moto did NOT sign a exclusive agreement with Microsoft. And the folks at Qualcomm have a boner for Android;
"...For quite a long time now, Google and Qualcomm have been working diligently on a collaborative Android phone OS in hopes that it will be able to take on the colossal iPhone. According to Chief Operating Officer Sanjay Jha, the iPhone's good, but "there are opportunities to do some things better." That's where Android comes in.
“It is our expectation that a large number of Android phones will run on our platforms,” says Jha of the open-source operating system, often viewed as leverage to give Google a bigger place on the mobile internet.

Motorola has bought TAT's "Cascades" UI for its Android phone.
It looks really good. Google for the videos...
Motorola Atila? What happened to calling it MOTO ATLA?!
motorola sure knows how to make ugly phones
it looks like a skipping stone...
For cryin out loud, it's 2008! What's with the shitty QVGA screens? A smartphone had better have VGA before I'll even begin to look at it.
...........and Android, and an Nvidia handheld gfx chip, and GPS, and 3G, and.....and.....oh wait, there's a hole in my pocket and money keeps falling out.............
Yea, no kidding.
Motorola, I have a new tagline for you:
"Motorola. Serving up yesterday's technology tomorrow."
It's still Windows Mobile, no matter how pretty it is it will still suck ass.
I love the word "sans".
Perfect for art class when you need to draw that oval.
Would be nice, except the silver border looks like crap and you know the build quality is going to be garbage.
You'll take my QWERTY mini keyboard on my phone when you pry it out of my cold, skinless, bony dead fingers.
Amen!!
Needs more cowbell. :)
Wow, a bulky phone with a low resolution screen is just what I need!
hmmm, look familiar?

Inventec is probably the ODM
Not... really...
that phone in turn looks like a HTC Touch crossed with a Touch Diamond
dude, it's the SAME EXACT PHONE. with the same exact specs, same button placement, etc. look closer, just a different ID.
I like what I see in the pic but only a hands on test can reveal if it's any good. I'd love to see Motorola do well.
That thick silver/gray/chrome band looks fugly to me, not sleek.
is MOTOROLA into M$ os
Atila?? ATTILA was/is the correct spelling of the famous hun
