too bad this thing is on at&t
This thing is quite the beast. Yes the camera/video isn't the greatest, yes, but that really doesn't change my opinion.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Think that all of the high-end Android love from Motorola is only reserved for Verizon? Well, the perception is quickly going to change now that the venerable smartphone maker has announced the Motorola ATRIX 4G which is bound for AT&T packing along some beloved high-end specs that will make you gasp with joy – especially for those AT&T customers tired of seeing nothing but mid-range devices. In reality, the ATRIX 4G is actually the long rumored Motorola Olympus which is the dual-core Tegra 2 packing beast that everyone has been yearning for.
Naturally, high-end specs are all around with the Motorola ATRIX 4G with its sizable 4” qHD display that boasts a stunning resolution of 540 x 960 pixels. Looking straight at it, there's no arguing the kind of beauty and elegance it embodies as it packs plenty of crisp visuals to make your eyes gleam with joy. Moreover, there are other admirable features that will surely make you fall in love – such as 1GB of RAM, large 1,930 mAh battery, and support for faster speeds thanks to HSPA+ connectivity.
Taking a hold of the device, it doesn't quite have that stark industrial design that made devices like the Motorola DROID and DROID X stand out. But nonetheless, you can gauge that there was a lot of love put into its construction and design to still catapult it to the status of other high-end devices on the market. In fact, it's surprising to find it come close to the same dimensions as the iPhone 4 – which is impressive when you consider that it packs a healthy sized 4” display.
Underneath all of the top notch hardware, we find the Motorola ATRIX 4G running that all too known customized MOTOBLUR skin on top of Android 2.2 Froyo. Yeah, we know what you're going to say, but we simply hope it will receive the Gingerbread treatment quickly. All in all, the dual-core Tegra 2 chipset enables the handset to fly in just about every aspect we put the device through – so literally, you won't ever have to miss a beat on anything.

motoblur, its great if your into social networking but damn does it get annoying.
AT&T is about to upgrade their network to 4G using LTE and HPSA+ when you drop off of LTE. The phone plans may suck, but the network is promising to be the best out there.
Plus, unlike Verizon and Sprint, AT&T and T-Mobile allow you to both have phone calls and use data at the same time. GSM allows you to do that. CDMA doesn't.
Not to mention how much it slows down your phone.
Yeah. I read that too. Hopefully they can pull it off. I'm not putting too much faith in that, but if that's the case I'm willing to have 3G speeds when I'm not in a wifi hotspot. I really wanted to leave at&t simply because they're the most expensive out there. I was kinda sold to the idea of switching over to sprint because of the EVO. It was my second choice to the iPhone. Now that this is coming to at&t, I'm staying with them and think the phone will make the sacrifice worthy.
This thing looks like it may be pretty cheap, which definitely makes it more attractive - $150 plus the dock only being $60?

What, exactly, has AT&T done in the past to make you think this? There is no evidence for that. AT&T has consistently been the worst service provider in the US over the past 5-8 years. They have already re-branded their entire network 4G despite not having a single LTE network in the US yet of any size.
You most certainly can talk and surf at the same time with 4G on CDMA.
Yeah, and Motorola has problems with allowing people to root their phones, which is kind of ridiculous.motoblur, its great if your into social networking but damn does it get annoying.
Which isn't always available. AT&T and T-Mobile already have the leg up in that you can talk and surf, 4G or not. Very useful.
And, as I've said, San Antonio has excellent AT&T coverage imo. I would hope so considering that SBC(Cingular) and then AT&T were located here for years until recently.
I was a Cingular customer and they had great coverage in SA. I haven't seen anything different since the merger and rebranding with AT&T. The worst signal strength I have is my apartment and I think that's due to the fact that I live about 4 blocks from a radio station, and 5 minutes away from about 5 hospitals. But even then, my signal strength isn't low, just lower.
Sprint on the other had gave me tons of problems around hills, which is a problem when you live in an area where there were tons of hills to pass before going to school, work, and/or visit friends. Always dropped calls. Not to mention that Clear internet using the 4G Wimax network that Sprint uses, and it's still not available in all of San Antonio. A good majority of SA has it, but there are some areas that are slower or even lacking 4G.
Yeah, AT&T definitely has better and worse areas, but here in DC they're abysmal in certain places. Sprint almost always gives me reception unless I'm on the subway. I just have to wonder with AT&T's track record if they're going to come through like they say they will.
motoblur is trash but just install laucher pro.
agreed, but if at all possible stay away from motoblur. I dont care what type of processor it has, motoblur will still make it lag.
I think Sprint definitely has them beat in that span. I think they lost over a million customers a quarter for several years. They have only began to attract customers back within the last year or two with more attractive pricing and finally began selling decent phones. LTE isn't exactly "4G" either, it's still 3rd gen tech - LTE Advanced is, but there are no currently LTE advanced networks out there in the US.
only if you use the wifi, which really wasn't implied. other than that your statement is wrong.
Nice. I was worried about the price of it. Hopefully the lower price is to get buyers. Now I just gotta find out the sturdiness of it.
So I guess the fact that I'm talking to my mother in Illinois right now and surfing Reddit + SpursTalk on my 4G phone with my wifi disabled is just a freak of science, then.
Are you seriously going to argue with me about a phone I own and use everyday?Dude, you're freaking hilarious. What the is wrong with you? Are you really that arrogant that you can presume to tell me what my phone can or cannot do while I'm using it?

lol caught trying to talk about something he doesn't know about
lol trying to get out of being completely wrong by shifting the focus away from himself
Nice try. You're still wrong and you couldn't sack up and admit it like a man, you had to go the route and try to insult someone to save face.
Lol Motocrapola
Let me clear it up for you, while in the 4g coverage area and using 4g, you can talk and surf at the same time. However, unless I am mistaken, if you drive out to the hill country and switch to 3g, then you cannot talk and surf simultaneously.
Yes. Seems I left 4G out of my last statement. What I was getting at is you have to be where 4G and wifi are present to do that. Which isn't available everywhere which means you're not at liberty to do it whenever you please like you can on the AT&T network.
