The fact they didn't mention Tegra 2 is the most worrying to me.
Let alone the fact they didn't mention it can capture 1080p video, which Tegra 2 is capable of. You're the only ones who mentioned that "not Tegra 2" tidbit.Reply
How can you turn such an exciting hardware into such a boring piece of crap? This is what I hate about smartphones (even though I myself am using WM devices since 2006) - what happened to design? they all look the sameReply
It looks nice, IMO. At the beginning I wasn't digging the thick bezel around the Atrix 4G's screen (compared to the HTC Infuse 4G and the Samsung announced next to it; both were almost edge-to-edge), but I think it makes the device more "uniform".
I would have loved a next-gen phone that looks like the Xperia Arc, but you can't have it all...Reply
This is the feature I've been waiting for. I've had various devices including smartphones and Internet tablets, and have tried various VGA adapters, bluetooth keyboards and mice to try to simulate this feature. It has never been a great experience.Reply
Was there a front facing camera on the Droid Bionic? If so that will be all the features I wanted in my next phone (though launching with Gingerbread would have been nice). Now we just need availability.Reply
I don't understand why the smartphone or even tablet need to support 1080p ? The size of display seems never need it (Is 720p enough ?) The only reason I can think of is to connect it to a bigger display for home or meeting presentation. Is it a good trad-off for power of mobile device to support it ?
I know ATRIX was only announced for AT&T, but what is the likelihood that the ATRIX could be used on Verizon's network (yes, I know it would only be 3G) given that the bands listed for the phone are WCDMA?
I thought Verizon said last year that they would allow any CDMA phone on their network? How does that actually work, if true?Reply
Hi i am planning to get the Atrix carrier free version from USA, can anyone tell me if this phone will work in india or is there any unlocking required after taking a carrier free version. Please. Thanks in advance..Reply

I signed up just so i could respond to your post.It is a Tegra 2 processor. Please see http://developer.motorola.com/products/atrix-mb860... for confirmation that it is a NVIDIA Tegra 2 AP20H Dual Core processor.
You scared me - hopefully this will prevent from scaring others. Reply

Why not 1080p? Could that be a Moto typo? ReplyImSpartacus - Thursday, January 06, 2011 - link
yeah, 1020p would be 1813.33 x 1020. I'm not familiar with that resolution.I do think the qHD screen is neat though. Didn't the Zune HD have an eighth-HD screen?
Perfect pixel scaling FTW! Reply

This is the first thing I noticed as well. That has got to be a typo, it should be 1080p. ReplyTanclearas - Thursday, January 06, 2011 - link

Yeah, read that on another site. Now hopefully we aren't waiting til summer for this. Replybplewis24 - Thursday, January 06, 2011 - link
Is it safe to assume the Xoom sports an IPS display? It has the same dimensions and specs as the Asus slate which is IPS, right?Brandon Reply

They make a killer phone, but go cheap-butt by cutting out a mems gyro?That's odd.
Otherwise a very top-notch Android phone(s). Reply

Those are AT&T's HSPA bands. There's too much confusion around the "CDMA" label, lol. ReplyPubicTheHare - Saturday, January 08, 2011 - link
