While both PDA phones are supporting 3.5G and Wi-Fi technologies, the Alexander features a sliding-out QWERTY keyboard and the Attila features an iPhone-like touch panel, said the paper, which also noted that shipments of the two PDA phones are now set in the first quarter of 2009 instead of the fourth quarter of 2008 as originally planned."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com//spt/auto/1228145916.usr2.gif" /></p><p>According to a Commercial Times report, Motorola's <a href="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/news/show/90177/motorola-alexander-windows-mobile-standard-smartphone.html" target="_blank">Alexander</a> and <a href="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/news/show/90358/motorola-atila-ready-to-conquer-non-keyboard-phone-market.html" target="_blank">Attila</a> won't make an appearance until Q1 2009. Leaks suggest the two aren't blessed with amazing features, so unless there are some hidden extras, Motorola will probably have a tough time pitting these against the competition.</p>
