Is this Motorola's last hope?

by Julian Prokaza on Thursday 07 August 2008 Comment

Motorola's Alexander?The Boy Genius Report has turned up this admittedly grainy photo of a forthcoming Motorola phone that it reckons is the much rumoured ' Alexander' - supposedly Motorola's high-end, make-or-break,  great-white-hope mobile designed to rejuvenate its flagging sales, or bury the company for good.

While we agree that the mooted specs are high-end - Windows Mobile 6.1, a 5 to 8 megapixel camera, a dedicated NVIDIA GPU for 3D graphics and AGPS - we're not sure this is the phone Motorola will be pegging its future on. At least we hope it isn't.

For a start, it looks a tad small to be a touchscreen iPhone 3G killer, which is, frankly, what Motorola needs to be competing with. Secondly, that keypad looks a little, well, cheap to be the Moto flag bearer. Lastly, let's just say the response from the online community hasn't exactly been favourable.

Course, it could just be a Photoshop job but we'll keep an eye out for any more titbits. And, before you ask, Motorola hasn't been making any comments on this.
