Motorola Alexander is the codename of a new handset prepared by the Schaumburg-based company and set to bring back its lost glory. How could it do this? Well, recently appeared rumors say that the so-called Alexander will have a 8 Megapixel camera, an NVIDIA graphics chip, a new UIQ OS (version 4.0, apparently), GPS and lots of other features that are currently kept secret.

Chances are that the new Alexander is a touchscreen phone and, for Moto's sake, it better be. I say this because the future of high-end mobile devices is touchscreen-only, and this fact is sustained by all the important manufacturers which, after Apple's iPhone huge success, started to bring lots of new full-touch handsets to the market.

In order to be a great device and attract as many mobile users as possible, Motorola Alexander will need more than just a great list of specs. The phone will have to be easy to use, smartly priced and nicely designed.

For the moment, we can't possibly imagine how the new Alexander will look, especially since Boy Genius Report (the website that came up with the leaked details) doesn't have any image of it. But if it's somehow similar to E10, the thin and fancy music-oriented phone appeared back in April, then Motorola will indeed have a hit in this new 8 Megapixel phone. The E10 looks really unique, even if compared to other touchscreen handset currently on the market, so it wouldn't be bad at all if Motorola tried to leverage more on this kind of design.

If you remember, another Moto handset with a nice look and an advanced photo camera got recently leaked, a 5 Megapixels slider with Wi-Fi and other nice features. The name of the slider is not known, so it might be a phone that will come together with the new and mysterious Alexander, which should be announced sometime at the beginning of this fall.

The bottom line is that Moto's really trying to come back and offer awesome handsets. The company already has some pretty cool new phones, like the Z10 and the ZN5, but apparently it's not enough. Let's wait then for Alexander and see if it will be as great as the legendary king Alexander the Great, who probably inspired Moto to name its new handset.
