Remember the Motorola Atila? Motorola’s proposed answer to the iPhone 3G? Well, now that all the buzz has died down (as is the way with so many devices these days), new spy shots have been released as a reminder that this device will actually be coming out… someday.
Check out the Motorola Atila’s specs here!

Motorola’s co-Chief Executive Sanjay Jha has been tasked with reviving Motorola’s sales after a serious loss of market share to its competitors Nokia, Samsung and Sony Ericsson.
“One of the worst things is if you go to a company and things are not well but there’s not a sense of crisis. That’s not the case here,” he said Thursday. “People understand that changes need to occur and are very open to changes.”

According PC Magazine, Motorola’s Sanjay Jha has confirmed (though strangely non-chalantly) that Motorola expects to release a phone based on Windows Mobile 6.5 platform in the second half of 2009.
Windows Mobile 6 has not delivered the experience that I think Apple has been able to deliver, but as you look at the plan that is Windows Mobile 7 and even 6.5, I think there are significant new added features which will help the platform,” Jha said. “We have now targeted new teams which are focused – in California and Seattle – to deliver experiences. That is where we have to differentiate.
Motorola also announced that it plans to eliminate its MOTOMAGX and Symbian platforms in order to focus on the Google Android, Windows Mobile, and P2K 3G solutions.

The very first ‘mobile’ phone made its first appearance 25 years ago today with the 2.5 pound, 13 inch Motorola DynaTAC handset. “The Brick” was born!
And for all of you who complain about “hefty” network service fees, here’s some insight:
In 1983 it would have cost you $50 USD/month for line rental, 40 cents PER MINUTE peak time (24 cents per minute for off peak calls)… that was a lot of money in 1983, not that I need to remind you.
And this phone right here? Nearly $4000 bucks! No touch screen, no WiFi, and certainly not 3G. And take a guess at what your colour options were…? Ha!

Here’s a change of pace: Motorola has designed an Ultra Mobile Personal Computer (code named ‘VC6096′) that primarily targets transportation services. Lots of goodies and extras too, including all kinds of connectivity options - WiFi (802.11a/b/g), 3.5 GSM, HSDPA, WWAN, Bluetooth, and a SiRF Star III GPS receiver too!

Motorola’s Q11 is all set to be launched officially tomorrow but those lucky folks over at ZumoBlog have gotten their hands on one today and are sharing some photos and there’s talk of a video hands-on soon, too!
WiFi and GPS are the big sellers of this device but sadly, no 3G. For more pictures of this handset check out our September 25th post “Leaked: Motorola Q11” for an entire image gallery.

The Unwired View is calling this leaked Motorola handset a BlackBerry Bold competitor. The Q11 has a full QWERTY keypad and a few other perks and bonuses from the Q9 handset. What we’ve got here is a device that could very well be competition to RIM’s BlackBerry Bold. And the specs of Motorola Q11 actually allow it to take on the Bold.

What was previously thought to be the Motorola Q9h in boring gray flashy silver has apparently turned out to be a ‘new’ device from Motorola called the Q Global. I’m hard pressed to find any differences between the Q Global and the Q9h aside from the on-board GPS that now has access to AT&T Navigator which, to be fair, is pretty cool. It comes with Windows Mobile 6.1 installed but as of recently, the Q9h has 6.1 as a free download as well. Still no WiFi which breaks the deal for many, including myself.
Personally, I wasn’t sold on the first one (sure, it looks like a down-to-business phone, but functionally it’s just a standard WinMo phone dressed up like a BlackBerry without all the bells and whistles) and I’m not convinced that this new Q Global is any more appealing. Let me go out on a socially dangerous limb and say that if I were in the market for a phone like this, I’d much rather a BlackBerry Bold. Hands down.
I know there are many, many fans out there of the Q9h - what do you think of this ‘new’ device from Motorola?

It looks like Motorola’s getting ready to launch its Q9h in exciting new gray. The new gray devices come pre-loaded with the Windows Mobile 6.1 update. While I’m not sure of the cost of the new gray Q9h, but I think it’s safe to assume that it’ll be similar to the prices of its blacker, sleeker counterpart.

What you’re looking at here, courtesy of BGR, is what we all hope to be a leaked picture of Motorola’s new iPhone 3G killer. I personally have a hard time calling anything Motorola has to offer an iPhone 3G killer, but hey - there are lots of Motorola fans out there, right? I do have to admit, it looks pretty cool or at least its alleged specs look cool: Quad-band GSM/GPRS/Edge connectivity and support for 3G HSDPA connections up to 7.2Mb/s, and apparently - 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi, a Qualcomm 7210A chipset, and Windows Mobile 6.1, naturally. Also true to iPhone, it doesn’t seem to have a keyboard. Even through we can’t really make out an on-board camera from this shot, it doesn’t mean there isn’t one. Let’s hope so. In fact, let’s hope it has a crazy 8 mega pixel camera in it like earlier this year’s leaked Motorola device ‘Alexander’. I’m really lovin’ the conqueror theme, it totally excites the history nerd in me. Go get ‘em, Attila!

I have used the Howard's Forum solution for internet PC tethering however about 2 days after making the changes whenever I just want to surf the net on my BJ II I now get a 403 Access Forbidden error msg. If I power the phone off and turn it on it allows me to surf for about 1 to 2 days before giving me that error again. When I called AT$T they had me change some settings and that fixed the problem but broke my tethering capability. I reinstalled the Howard's Forum solution and got tethering back but now again have the 403 problem again. Any help would be apprciated.
Wow, Bruno - that's awful! A real Touch Diamond would have been nice, heh, but a fake one?! Especially when you're actually expecting the BB Storm! Though, from what I'm hearing, the Storm isn't the greatest device. But I haven't seen it myself so I can't say for sure. What did you end up doing with the fake phone? How much did you pay? I'm sorry you had such a rough time - I feel for ya!
I didn't listened my friends and I just both 2 blackberry storm from china (by mail). It was a surprise when I opened the box and discovered that the mobile sent to me was the HTC TOUCH DIAMOND. A bigger surprise was the discovering that it was not a HTC but a clone. In other worlds, I should listen more to my friends. No windows mobile, no e-mail, just a piece of sh.....
Couldn't send emails any more no matter what I tried so I downloaded and installed the patch. So far: I lost all of my email accounts; tried to set them up again, but when I used the same name for the account, I got stopped by an alert that said that name was already being used by another account; I picked a new name for the account and completed the setup, after I hit finish, it jumped to the Outlook account that had previously existed and the new account was not listed under mail accounts; tried this a couple of times; Did a hard reset, erasing all of my data, which isn't a big deal I have had to do hard resets so often lately there isn't much there; After the reboot, I set up the accounts successfully, the device randomly powers off; It is now frozen with a solid green colored screen, which I can do nothing about, it won't even turn off, I am on hold now with my provider's tech support. This is my experience so far with the Windows Mobile 6.1 upgrade and the SMTP patch Dan
