We’ve known about the Atila since August.  It’s a lot like the Motorola Alexander in design but without a slide-to-hide QWERTY keyboard. 

But as Motorola gears up for CES 2009, the Atila has come out of code-name status and has an official name.  The smartphone will be marketed, at least in Asia, as the Motorola SURF A3100. 

The details are pretty much what we expected: HSDPA, 3MP digital camera, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and a microSDHC memory card slot.

The SURF A3100 will debut in Asia later this quarter. There’s not yet any word on a U.S. release.
