The Atrix has landed


Today Bell releases Motorola's flagship phone, the Motorola Atrix. The Atrix isn't your average phone. It's the first of its kind with a micro-dual core processor to hit the Canadian market. In addition, it supports the 4g network from bell, stating speeds of 14.4Mbps. For enthusiasts like me, I would have been willing to wait in line for it today, but there are some drawbacks which led me to purchase it's competitors the HTC Desire HD. The biggest upset for me is the Moto Blur. Having an HTC Desire HD allows me to not only root the phone, but install a custom light weight firmware. Compared to the Atrix, installing custom roms looks to be in a distant future with no one knowing how compatible it will be with the attachments (ex. Laptop ). Furthermore, the build quality doesn't seem up to par. There's no metal bits, just a lot of plastic which makes it feel cheap, but factoring in the performance and other excellent features puts it back into the competition.
