This is AT&Ts version of the RAZR, it is not exactly an Atrix. AT&T has the exclusive to the Atrix line in the US, so they still decided to keep that going.... but for all intents and purposes this Atrix HD will be a severly locked down RAZR with ICS and an HD screen.

I love LG Since used 2X!
too bad it did not include SAMOLED+ display, else i'll get one
I´ll stick to HTC as usual
Although nice they are getting on the dual core 1.5GHz wagon
Engadget also covered it:

hmmm.... it was actually LG that started the dual core band wagon
the first Dual core phone was released first by LG as the 2X it was only dual core 1 Ghz, full of bugs, and ok spec, but again no SAMOLED+ so i wasn't interested
the LG 2X runs a hell of a lot better & faster with Custom ROMs than the original it came shipped with

The LG Optimus 2X was released in Korea as the LG Star before the Atrix. It even has a guinness world record to prove it was the first.

[Q] MB860 v MB865

I'm a relatively new android user, just got this new Atrix 2 (MB865) phone.
Ive been researching roots and roms for the device, and have not found a whole lot for it.
I have however found lots of support for the Atrix 4G (MB860), specifically a nightly cyanogen mod (7.2). I am wondering, since there is a stable cwm recovery utility would it be possible to apply the 4G image to the atrix 2?
Thought, concerns?
They are two completely different phones. MB860 is original ATRIX. MB865 is ATRIX 2
Motarolla's site lists the MB860 as the Atrix 4G, which looks identical to the Atrix 2G (MB865).
They are listed as having different processors, NVIDIA Tegra 2 AP20H vs TI OMAP4430. But otherwise very similar in almost every respect.
Atrix 2 have 8MP camera, 8GB storeage, 4.3" display(non-pentile)
We have the Atrix 2. Not 2g. There is no such thing.
And our phone doesn't even look exactly the same if you're paying attention. Screen is .3" bigger, camera has 3 more megapixels, display is non-pentile and looks much better, and most important, we have a different processor. The Atrix 4G boot unlocker will not work on our phones. Atrix 4G roms will not work on our phones. But hold on tight because it's coming. The OG Atrix guys had to wait a while, too.

2G = 2nd generation.
The Droid Bionic is more like the Atrix 2 than the OG Atrix is.

Samsung Galaxy SIII

Hi, all,
For all of us who own a Samsung Galaxy SII now, the joy is wearing out since Samsung is coming up with... Galaxy SIII.
Motorola is launching this month, on January 26, the Razr Maxx - an awesome phone due to its HUGE battery power. One month later, Samsung would launch the Galaxy SIII. Below is a list of their specs (taken from the Internet so, I cannot promise is accurate):
Samsung Galaxy S3 vs Motorola Droid RAZR Maxx: How do They Stack up?
Motorola released its latest Smartphone, Droid RAZR Maxx, for Verizon Wireless at the recently concluded Consumer Electronics Show 2012 in Las Vegas and is rumored to be made available to customers by Jan. 26.
Droid RAZR Maxx is almost similar in specifications to the Droid RAZR and is designed for customers who spend their days and nights multi-tasking. The Motorola device had a Li-Ion 3300 mAh that should provide up to 21 hours of talk time and 368 hours of standby time.
The 4.3-inch smartphone would run on the Android 2.3.5 or Gingerbread OS and would be powered by a dual-core 1.2 GHz Cortex A9 processor with 1GB of RAM. The phone sports an 8 megapixel, 3264x2448 pixels unit autofocus, LED flash rear camera with 1080p video capture capabilities. The phone also has a 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera for video chatting and is expected to be available at Verizon for $299.99 on a two-year contract.
On the other hand, latest speculation suggests that Samsung would extend their flagship version of Galaxy S2 to Galaxy S3 and is expected to be launched during Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, Feb. 28.
Here is a comparison between Samsung Galaxy S3 and Motorola's Droid Razr Maxx.
Display:
RAZR Maxx has a 4.3-inch qHD 960 x 540 Super AMOLED Advanced display with Dupont KEVLAR fiber, a scratch-resistant Corning Gorilla Glass and water-repellent nanoparticles.
Samsung Galaxy S3 is rumored to sport a 4.6-inch HD 1280 x 720 pixels Super AMOLED Plus capacitive touch-screen with 319 ppi density.
Operating System:
Droid RAZR Maxx runs on the Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread, with an upgrade to Ice Cream Sandwich around the corner.
Galaxy S3 is expected to come with the Ice Cream Sandwich OS.
Processor:
Droid RAZR Maxx sports a dual-core 1.2GHz Cortex-A9 CPU, Texas Instruments OMAP 4430 chipset, PowerVR SGX540 GPU with 1GB RAM.
Galaxy S3 is rumored to feature a quad-core, Exynos 4212/ Exyos 5250, 2GHz/ 1.8GHz processor with 2GB RAM.
Camera:
Droid RAZR Maxx sports a rear-facing 8 megapixel camera with 1080p HD video capture capability.
It also has a 1.3 megapixel camera in the front for video calling. On the other hand.
Galaxy S3 is rumored to feature a 12 megapixel 4000x3000 pixels, LED flash camera with 1080p video capture and an additional 2 megapixel front-facing camera for video chats.
Connectivity:
Droid RAZR Maxx is touted as 4G LTE device running on Verizon's network.
Galaxy S3 is also expected to come with 4G LTE support.
WLAN/Bluetooth/USB:
Droid RAZR Maxx has 3.5mm jack+ EMU and supports USB 2.0 HS, Corporate Sync, DLNA, FOTA, Stereo Bluetooth Class 2, Version 4.0 LE+EDR.
Samsung Galaxy S3 would have Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, DLNA, Wi-Fi Direct, Wi-Fi hotspot, Bluetooth version 3.0+HS along with microUSB MHL version 2.0 support.
Storage:
Droid RAZR Maxx phone has a fixed 16GB of internal storage, which is expandable via microSD card up to 32GB.
Galaxy S3 would have 16/32GB storage configurations and an external microSD card expandable up to 32GB.
Battery:
Droid RAZR Maxx has a whopping 3,300 mAh battery that is expected to give up to 21.5 hours of talk time and 380 hours standby time.
Galaxy S3 is expected to feature a 2250mAh battery
Other Features:
Galaxy S3 is expected to offer Near Field Communications (NFC) functionality as an option. It is also anticipated to feature the revolutionary wireless charging technology, which would help the device to not only charge the battery without the use of cables or plugs but also share, sync or back-up data at the same time.
2 ghz QUAD core processor with 2gb ram? Not a chance.
This is like the iPhone 5 rumours right before the 4S was announced lol no one knows anything until it's actually announced
I personally don't like people speculating and making rumors about phones and get everyone excited. My guess would be that 1/4 of this will be accurate. This would make it a better surprise if it is true =0
There is enough hate in the world. Why can't we all get along here ...?
This is totally different than the RAZR thing. Galaxy SII was announced almost a year ago but didn't arrive in the states until October. I assume the s3 won't be in the states until fall. Big difference
All these manufacturers need to stop coming out with new phones every ten minutes. Support and update the ones that they have would make more sense.

we wont see a quad core until 2013 or very late 2012, sgs3 will have a 2.0 dual core or some jizz like that.. remember my word
yeah. sry to burst bubbles but gs3 will only have a dual core but something like 2.0 or 2.2ghz. quadcores are about a year away. doesn't hurt to dream though.
this most deff. will be my next phone

Here is a random guess. Samsung announces SGS3 in March. It is released "world wide" in May or June... the US sees the first official release in about October.... I would be willing to consider buying a new phone then.

Umm, I disagree. They need to support their products better, yes, but I for one don't want to see HTC put out a phone that smokes my SGS2 just so I can get ICS and then Jelly bean while they go to quad core and get better battery life or something... Maybe unifying the devices (SGS2 for all, not skyrockets/hercules/epic touch/etc), but not just not coming out with products sporting the newest advances...

First of all, it is a rumor, none of us know for sure what the hw. spec. of the SGS3 will be, even the OS is bouncing between ICS and Tizen/Bada. No one knows.
From rumor to official announcement is a long time.
From announcement to release to customers hands is a very long time.
From release day to the fully support custom ROMs (if any) is a very very long time.
By that time, my contract should be expired and I will get a new one, maybe waiting a little more for SGS4 or SGS5
Conclusion, SGS2 owners have absolutely nothing to worry about.
It better have a god damn good DAC Else im Skiping SG III Like the SGII and Sticking with SGS
If its screen is over 4" I won't consider it. Maybe 4.3" if everything else is perfect. Must be 300ppi either way. No pen tile either.
RAM, Processor, and so forth are really immaterial.

Looks as though we might get JB after all.

According to this article I found we are one of the FEW moto phones to get JB.
How dependable is it? Heck if I know. I'd just like ICS at this point...

Well, I would consider it more a "gettin' ready for the glory hole" plan, so as to be of some contributor-level support on what everyone is waiting so anxiously for (ICS/JB for the ATRIX 2); and beyond that, this has become an enormous interest for me, as I am sure is the same for many others, and just want to get at the heart of it with full fervor... but, nonetheless, I know where our limitations are, what our capabilities are possible of, and know that we (the A2 community) can seriously tear this phone a new one when all put our heads together! In the meantime, I shall be immersing myself in getting "me smarts on" as some kid in college said to me, who probably now works for the city's sanitation department!
That article is just speculation. With the atrix hd coming out i highly doubt we will get jb officially. Once we have official ics the devs will be able to work up something for us.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium
It's confirmed that sgs 2 isn't getting jelly bean update. Hence I doubt Atrix getting it. And reading the source its just their guess and not confirmation from motor. Let's get the official ics first and then hope for jb.
motorola has history of upgrading phone to only one update like they did with defy ....came with 2.1 ....they release 2.2 ...though its totally capable of running 2.3 they never released 2.3 instead they released defy plus with 2.3.3 so its same with atrix 2 ...now they released atrix hd with ics ...... only razr ,razr maxx nd atrix hd from motorola will get jellybean ...

The OG ATRIX came with froyo, got the GB update and is scheduled to get ICS. I wouldn't say that this phone WON'T get JB but by the time it does I will be long gone and into another phone.
The ONLY way I buy another MOTO phone is if they make the next Nexus.
Moto makes some excellent phones and I would recommend them to anyone who simply wants a phone and doesn't like modding things. But since we are all on this great site, that rules us out and unfortunately Moto thinks we are the minority and they do not care about us.

I agree. My wife started out with a backflip and now she has the original atrix and they are stable for her because she don't care about modding. Myself on the other hand bought the a2 because of motorolas products being stable and I thought we would have the bootloader unlocked by now. This will be my last motorola phone for sure because of the bootloader issue. The a2 is a good phone but Im just getting bored to easy with it.

True, and the reasons for JB denial on SGS2
dual core(min quad required??)
low resolution(min hd 1280x720)
I guess a2 has similar config, and also likely to miss the JB upgrade

Not all OG atrix ....some r still in plans of evaluation and planing.....nd i think some has even been rejected for ics......anyways OG ATRIX WAS A FLAGSHIP OF its time i read Engadget article how AT&T introduce new phone to market posted here by Dev Jim ....... The reason they r updating it to ICS IS due to its flagship status .....while Atrix 2 is not a hit or flagship device........nd now since they release ATRIX HD Like defy plus......the chances has became slim ....anyways ur right with moto for excellent phone.......its the only reason i got this phone after using defy for a year....
This will be my last Android let alone Moto!

We should consult Oracle (from matrix) bootloader UNLOCKING :laugh:

atrix hd or droid razr?

i sold my atrix 4g and got the atrix 2
now i bought an motorola droid razr for me and i got my sister an atrix hd (she has a atrix 4g atm)//
i would like to know which one should i choose??... i can trick her into any of them .. user rattings for droid razr are higher and i bet support on xda is better where atrix hd is better overall in hardware where support on xda is lower// which should be my phone ?
also i will be confirming later on if the droid razr (clean esn) can be activated on a gsm network outside the US like Orange or Claro in Dominican Republic
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25454835
Atrix HD and razr aren't comparable.
You should compare the Atrix HD, with the HD line. Like Razr HD, Razr M, Razr i.

Don't you dare come into our own forums and say "support for atrix2 sucks!".
Even with all the locks moto did on the atrix2, the devs here are so awesome that they cooked many famous ROMs for us like PA, cm10, miui and cm10.1 now.
Give them RESPECT for their hard work! (atleast by not saying that it sucks!)
Find yourself some other place to pour out your frustration.
LIFE! IT'S WHAT YOU MAKE OUT OF IT!
sorry for coming off so rude , i have nothing but respect for all devs that work for our devices
