According to Android Central, the Hot Motorola Atrix 4G will most likely to be released on ATT on March 1th, take a look at the inventory list above.
The Atrix 4G is best known for the dual-core Tegra 2 processor at its heart. Its performance is enough to pipe 1080p video but centers most around Webtop, it also earns its name through its fast HSPA+ 3G support.
The new concept gives it a desktop-like interface and USB support either when in a cradle or a special, 11.6-inch notebook dock that replicates a full portable. A 4.1-inch, 960x540 display, front and back cameras, 16GB of internal storage and dual-band 802.11n Wi-Fi with hotspot support also make it Motorola's flagship.
No one really knows the pricing of the Atrix, but it's expected to be announced around that time for $200, we will wait and see.

Both Samsung Supersonic and Motorola Charm are upcoming T-mobile smart phone, the Samsung Supersonic is probably the Samsung Vibrant that was announced a few days ago, it's not a name change, Supersonic is actually a code name according to Tmonews.
The Samsung Vibrant/Supersonic will run you $199 with a 2 years contract. But $449 without a contract, which I think it's pretty fair considering how powerful the handset is.
Tmonews also revealed the price of the upcoming entry phone by Motorola, the so call Motorola Charm, the phone will only run you $79 with a 2 year contract. It's another one of the feature phones that targets teens.

Doesn't seem that long ago we were all really excited about the Verizon Droid, the first ever android phone to come with Android 2.0, well Droid-Life.com site just release some details that Motorola Droid 2 has hit the Verizon Inventry System.
Don't mistake Motorola Droid 2 for the Motorola Droid Shadow, I know recent news was all about the Droid Shadow, althought it might look like Motorola Droid, it appears to be more like the HTC Evo 4G especially with 4.3 inch LCD screen.
EngadgetMobile also confirmed that the Motorola Droid has a 3.7 inch LCD screen, so it's definitely not the Droid Shadow. We are hoping to get more info on this device soon, maybe Froyo in the works?

Droid-Life did it again, they provided the Mobile Phones community with more pictures as well as detailed information about the upcoming Verizon handset name Motorola Droid XTreme. Look to me like the Droid XTreme does come with 8 MP Camera, HD video recording like the HTC Evo 4G.
Now Droid-Life still isn't 100% sure on whether or not that is MotoBlur but it sure looks sort of like it doesn't it?
The device is definitely a step forward to the Motorola Droid, it might as well compete directly to the HTC Evo 4G. After all the attention yesterday regarding to the HTC Evo 4G release, Motorola isn't stepping back, and they hope this device will do the direct competition.

I am not sure if I would consider this a big upgrade from the origial Motorola Droid, although the specs are enhanced somewhat, they did throw in a 8 MP camera, a little improvement on the Processor, from 600 mhz to 750 mhz. As far as appearance, it looks very much like the Motorola Droid 1.
According to DroidLife, here are some of the spec
- -Android 2.1 (unless Verizon pumps out a last minute 2.2 update to it)
- -3.7″ screen
- -750MHz OMAP processor
- -Wi-Fi tethering
- -8GB internal
- -8GB SD card preinstalled
- -Updated keyboard
- -5MP camera
- -New version of Motoblur
- -No HDMI port
- -No front facing camera

Can we say Droid X please? let's the drums roll... Will it be release with Android 2.2 Froyo? or just Android 2.1? I guess we will truly know by then.

Yes you heard it right, it's not the Droid X that's going to be release next month, this is the Motorola Droid 2, a successor of the original motorola droid.
Gizmodo got us some pictures of a summer intern name Zack who had the first impression with the device.
Zack wrote:
I am a summer intern at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (NASA) this summer and today there was a tech show on the lab. There were a lot of cool new technologies along with booths for companies like Microsoft, Apple, Sprint, and Verizon.
I went over to the Verizon booth and was surprised to see a curious-looking phone next to regulars like Blackberries and the Droid Incredible. I picked up the phone and once I looked at it more closely I realized it was the Droid 2. I asked the representatives and they told me that they weren't sure exactly what the name was going to be, but that it was indeed the successor to the original Motorola Droid.
It felt really nice in my hand. It seems smoother than the original Droid. A lot more curves and less sharp edges. Held next to my original Droid, it seems exactly the same size The headphone jack, volume buttons, power/sleep button, and the Micro-USB port were all in the same place and pretty much exactly like the original. The camera button is also in the same place, but smaller and the same color as the volume buttons.

Announced as a Verizon only within the US, the brand new Motorola Droid RAZR may also be released in different markets, though with out the Droid branding - which is understandable, since this belongs to Verizon Wireless.
In Canada, Europe, Asia, Latin America and Africa, the new handset will likely be simply called Motorola RAZR. And, like within the US, it will be launched starting November. This doesn't essentially imply you'll be capable to purchase it subsequent month.
The new Android-based Motorola RAZR is not a clamshell, but it is both fashionable and thin - only 7.1mm. It runs Android 2.3.5, and features a 4.3 inch qHD "Super AMOLED Advanced" display, Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n, 8MP rear camera with 1080p video recording, 1.3MP front-facing camera, 1.2GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of internal memory (about 11GB user available), and a 1780 mAh battery.
Press Release:
LIBERTYVILLE, Ill. - Oct. 18, 2011 - Say hello to the jaw-dropping new Motorola RAZR, brought to you by Motorola Mobility, Inc. (NYSE: MMI). Impossibly thin at 7.1 millimeters with sexy curves to boot, this beauty will be available in North America, Asia, Europe, Latin America, and Middle East and Africa starting this November. Boasting a gorgeous sculpted glass face, diamond-cut aluminum accents and a hyper-vibrant 4.3-inch Super AMOLED Advanced display for incredibly vivid images. Motorola RAZR also sports KEVLAR® fiber (yes, that KEVLAR) and Corning® Gorilla® Glass to help the screen stand up to scratches and scrapes. In fact, every part of Motorola RAZR is protected by a splash-guard coating - even the electrical boards inside. This work of art is a force to be reckoned with.
If that's not enough, pop the hood and find a dual-core 1.2 GHz processor with an impressive 1GB of RAM, all powered by AndroidTM 2.3.5. You'll fly through tasks up to two times faster than single-core processor phones. Stream or download music and photos from your home or work computer with the easy-to-use MOTOCASTTM app1. Watch movies on a screen that sports a wider range of colors than most LCD HDTVs. And for that inspiring filmmaker in you, use the 8-megapixel rear-facing camera with 1080p video capture for crisp, clear, cinematic-quality images.
"Motorola RAZR is an iconic brand, and one that originally revolutionized the mobile device industry by turning a functional necessity into an object of desire," said Sanjay Jha, chairman and CEO, Motorola Mobility. "Now we've done it again with a head-turning, ultra-thin smartphone that offers users breathtaking speed, innovative apps and revolutionary accessories."
Close to Home, Wherever You Go
Your favorite music playlists, from classic rock to heavy metal. Pics of every vacation, from road trip to romantic getaway. With Motorola RAZR it's all at your fingertips, all the time.

Whether you're across the street or across the country, you can rock your playlists or breeze through photos instantly - without hogging your device's memory. And, because you don't have to upload to a third-party site, you're saving time while gaining peace of mind. That's right - your files stay safe because they stay with you.
Life Has Never Looked Better
"Super AMOLED Advanced display technology." It sounds futuristic because it is. Whether you stream or download your movies, hyper-vibrant colors make watching flicks on-the-go just as thrilling as watching at home on your HDTV. And zero motion-blur keeps the action smooth, so you can focus on the story, not the screen. Capture the excitement of your own life with the 8-megapixel rear camera and 1080p HD video recording, or chat with a friend using the front-facing HD video camera. No need for clunky, expensive camera equipment.
Work Smart. Not Hard.
Featuring government-grade encryption for protecting your email, contacts and calendar, this device has been deemed "Business Ready" by Motorola's enterprise experts. Even your strict IT manager will be impressed. Hassle factor? Zero. Plus, Motorola RAZR is equipped with the Motorola Smart Actions app that lets you automate everyday tasks and enable better battery life. Smart Actions can turn down the ringer when you step into work, change the Bluetooth and GPS settings when you get home to save battery, or send a text to someone if you miss their call. It's the simple things in life that make all the difference.
Accessories Unlock a World of Experiences
Motorola RAZR is powerful on its own, but when combined with Motorola's accessories (sold separately), you unleash a world of possibilities. Use the new Motorola LapdockTM 500 Pro or LapdockTM 100 to let loose Motorola's revolutionary webtop application, giving you the power to edit documents and browse the Web with a desktop-class Firefox® browser - all while powering the device. Or, plug your Motorola RAZR into the HD Dock or HD Station to connect to your HDTV, speakers and other productivity peripherals for large-screen entertainment. And now, you can control your content, browse the web, and use your Android apps from the comfort of your couch with the Smart Controller. The built in touch-pad lets you zoom, pinch and rotate content just like a touchscreen. Best of all, no more running for your phone when a call comes in, you can make and take calls while your phone is docked. You can also connect a navigation dock for GPS and directions, battery pack for extra life, Bluetooth®-enabled keyboard for efficient typing, and the elegantly designed, almost-invisible Motorola ELITE SLIVERTM headset for discrete, hands-free talking. You'll have the brains, brawn and beauty to make the impossible possible.
