If the phone is $150 and the laptop dock is $150, they are gonna move a ton of these on AT&T's wackass network.

I doubt Amazon meant to publish their pricing for the Motorola Atrix 4G because traces to the previously posted page have been removed. Thankfully our awesome forum members at AndroidForums scooped up a screen shot before it was removed. The Motorola Atrix 4G will cost $149.99 when purchased through Amazon, presumably with a 2-year contract:

It's been reported to have over heating issues but is rated the most powerful phone in the world. i want one dammit:hmm:
 
i actually believe the overheating issue but i think they'll get it nailed down.

thats prolly the reason they havent firmed up a date even tho its just a few weeks away.

Motorola Responds to Droid Bionic, Atrix 4G Overheating Rumors
http://techd.in/hardware/motorola-responds-to-droid-bionic-atrix-4g-overheating-rumors/

The Android online community is so tightly knit that if one bad report appears on one site, you can be sure that it will spread like wildfire – even when the accuracy of the report can still be questioned. Not one to sit and let their devices being pummeled around online, Motorola has responded to the allegation that the upcoming Motorola Droid Bionic – destined for Verizon – and the Motorola Atrix 4G – for AT&T – are crippled with overheating problems. The rumors even went as further as suggesting that two devices will be delayed.

According to Motorola, the two devices don’t suffer from any overheating problems and that they will still be launched by the company as scheduled. Cue thousands of Android fans wiping off the sweat on their foreheads. Should we believe them though?

It’s worth noting that the issues were spotted by members from the respected Howard Forums.

Even if it turns out there are some overheating problems, however minor or major, hopefully Motorola will address the matter in a swift manner.

So, all we need from Motorola now is for them to confirm when will we be getting the release date for Droid Bionic. As for the Atrix 4G, they already said that it will be released on Q1. Not too specific as we’d hoped, but it’s better than nothing. And so the waiting game continues.

Atrix 4G May Cost $150 at Amazon, CostcoBy Jared Newman, PCWorld Jan 28, 2011 12:33 PM

Motorola's state-of-the-art Atrix 4G smartphone won't break the bank if a couple of pricing rumors prove accurate.

On Thursday evening, an Amazon product page briefly listed the Atrix 4G for $150 with a new two-year contract. Amazon removed the page, but then Android Central received an image of a Costco inventory screen, also showing a $150 price tag.

Third-party retailers usually sell phones for lower than the suggested price, so if these prices are correct, my guess is that AT&T will sell the Atrix 4G for $200, or $250 at the most.

The Atrix was one of the most interesting products at CES. It's part of the first wave of dual-core smartphones, powered by Nvidia's Tegra 2 processor and Android 2.2, and has a 4-inch display, 1 GB of RAM, 16 GB of on-board storage, front- and rear-facing cameras, a 1930 mAh battery and a fingerprint reader. Motorola will also sell laptop and desktop docks that run a full version of Firefox, powered entirely by the phone.

How much the docks will cost are still unknown, but some early chatter from a Best Buy insider suggest that the laptop dock could cost $150. If that's the case, I would not be surprised to see a $300 phone and laptop dock bundle, but we'll see. More rumors suggest a February 13 release date, but the official word from Motorola is the potential Verizon defectors somehow.

Can't be mad at that price point at all. They're definitely pricing it to move a large number of units.

AT&T is selling it direct for $199 on a 2 yr contract and $499 for the bundle (web top + phone).

That pricing is trash since anybody can get a 4g android phone for $100 and a decent lil laptop or netbook for $400 already.

At&t fucked that phone... they once again removed the sideloading option "to protect the consumers" and the bundle with the laptop dog is 500... this is the 1st great at&t android but they killed it b4 it gets born... the htc inspire has no sideloading too but there is a workaround so if ur on at&t and want android go for that instead.
 
It may be the world's most powerful phone but the games run like shit on it. Need for Speed Shift skips so damn much you'd think it was a 7 year old little girl.
 
Man the iphone is waaaay better, because its more popular!
:yes::yes::yes::yes:































Things a chick would say! Alex.

Correct for 5oo dollars.
 
eh...I've got my eye on something better around May 2011, on T-Mo's proven HSPA+ network.

What???? I've been waiting on TMo 2 catchup I got the HD2 & it's so damn unreliable ...probably gonna try & flash Android on it this weekend...we'll see, otherwise I'm getting an unlocked Dell Streak 5 (another AT&T phone) next week.

To each his own. All I know is that the performance of Need for Speed in that video was worse than an iPhone 3GS. Having the World's Most Powerful phone may be enough for some but I want some shit that works.
 
the "pyramind"?

yessir

HTC Pyramid looks insane :yes:

Plus it helps when you work for T-Mobile and are currently in the process of tier 2 upgrade to the network. Some techs report 40mbps+ at night, of course its all unprovisioned equipment now.

I used to work for Clear/Sprint. A couple of my buddies from there are saying their WiMax is regularly getting 20mbps. :rolleyes:

I haven't saw it though.

Can you speak regular non technical English so that we know what you're talking about.
 
Ok that's good to see! What I was referring too was the portion of NFS Shift that Motorola had in the video posted. It started at 1:24.




If you would watch the video instead of trying to cheerlead you would see exactly what I'm talking about. Skip to 1:24.



i dont see what u see. ur utube is probably skipping.
 
^^that's a stretch right there^^

I'm no eagle eye, but I didn't see lag. Maybe a lil roughness or jaggies, but not lag

u can't install apps without them being from the market. so if u want to use the text replacement app "swype" u can't b/c it needs you to download and install from within the browser and not the market. And any apps that come up on bgol's android threads won't be installed b/c at&t has removed that function(copying the iphone model where they keep control of the device to prevent the user from install money-saving apps and rooting). It's a policy at&t has had for android from the beginning to keep users locked in, they claim its for user safety but everyone knows that's bs.
