The buzz is that Motorola is coming up with a QWERTY less touch screen phone, Motorola “Atila”. This phone, as according to BGR, should be a touch-screen mobile device and would run on Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional.

Functionality wise the Motorola “Atila” is to be a powerpack. Quad-band EDGE tri-band 3G, GPS, WiFi, Qualcomm 721a chipset, 1130 mAh battery will be some of its features. It is expected to measure 80 x 109 x 18.75 millimetres, which makes it somewhat comparable with the HTC Touch.

It is coming out with a 240×320 screen resolution which might disappoint a bit on the display part, but has what looks to be a genuine trackball. Not such a bad mobile set after all.

This phone isn’t really claiming to revolutionise anything in the mobile arena, but it should be at the very least a cute little one ready to take on the hearts of many.

It is expected to be released by Motorola quite soon.
