The dual core, dock totting warrior arrives. And geeks will love it.
At the speed technology is moving, it won’t be too long before Smartphones become as powerful as laptops. In fact, the Motorola Atrix that we’re looking at today, can be connected to multiple types of docks and a laptop dock is one of them. Lets find out what else this handset is capable of.
Packaged in a fat grey and red box, the Motorola Atrix comes packaged with a USB cable and plug, a mini HDMI to HDMI cable and a cheapo quality headset. A quick-start guide is also included that shows the different dock accessories available for the Atrix. Measuring 117.8 x 63.5 x 11 mm, the Motorola Atrix is a bit on the bigger side like all Super-phones. The following table compares the Atrix to two of the other recent Super-phones that we looked at- the HTC Sensation and the Samsung Galaxy SII.

As you can see from the table above, the Atrix is a actually bit smaller in both screen size and overall dimensions when put next to some of the other Super-phones. However, it can’t match the Galaxy SII in thickness which continues to be insanely thin at 8.5mm. The smoothly rounded edges and a plain black finish on the front gives the Motorola Atrix a very conservative look.
You have volume buttons on the right side and the USB and HDMI connectors on the left. The top has a 3.5mm jack along with the power/lock button that sits towards the back side right where your index finger lands making it extremely convenient to lock and unlock the device. What’s even more awesome is that this lock button is a finger-print sensor allowing you to swipe your finger to unlock the device. It’s a great idea as long as you’re not outdoors in humid conditions at which point, it just doesn’t work.
