The Atrix HD was one of the first HD smartphones by Motorola released in America, and being such, people loyal to the brand went out and grabbed it as soon as possible. Considering the low price point, it’s a pretty good deal for those just getting introduced into Android and for those looking to renew a contract. While there aren’t many cases out for the device, considering it was shadowed by the many other releases right-beside it, Cruzerlite has went out of the way to ensure that you have the usual quality protection for a low price.

Motorola Atrix 4G: One Step Closer To Custom ROMs
June 7, 2011 By Leave a Comment
XDA developers have gotten one step closer to porting our favorite custom ROMs, like Cyanogen Mod, to the Motorola Atrix 4G. Using this program they are able to load scripts before the Android OS starts which can allow for custom ROMs to be installed on it. Although a large amount of developers have slowly stopped messing with the Atrix due to the locked bootloader, hopefully this will restore some faith in the modding community and bring our favorite mods and tweaks to the Tegra2 phone. The 2nd Init scripts are ported from the Motorola Defy which has had CyanogenMOD running on it for some time now, so hopefully this will open a door for a large amount of possibilities. As of right now there are a few Gingerbread ROMs that are available for the Atrix, but not many. The stock OS that comes with the Atrix, and the Droid X2, doesn’t seem fully optimized for the device so tweaking by XDA and other web developers can make these phones well worth their dollar.

Unofficial Atrix Update Lifts Data Caps On 4G
April 27, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Own a Motorola Atrix 4G and sick of the unsatisfactory upload rate? Not anymore, two developers on the XDA forums have compiled an update that will significantly increase the upload rates on the device ranging anywhere from .9Mbps to 2.8Mbps (with the stock average about .3Mbps). The official AT&T update was scheduled to release this month, though nowhere in sight. If you own an Atrix and would like to flash your radio to allow these increased speeds there is a useful step-by-step guide on droidmatters to help you out. Your phone will need to be rooted, but don’t worry if it’s not, there’s also information to assist you with that in the guide. The full process is simple and shouldn’t take very long at all. If you feel unsure about it, the process is completely reversible by just re-flashing the original radio. This should hold you off until the official AT&T update is released for your smartphone.
Here’s the guide thanks to XDA Developers and Droidmatters.com: HSUPA Speeds On Atrix

Motorola Atrix 4G Now Available for $129.99 from Amazon
March 7, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Just when we thought that the Motorola Atrix 4G couldn’t get any better in price, Amazon comes along and surprises us all. Now beating Radio Shack’s already low price of $149.99, the Atrix 4G is available through Amazon for $129.99 with a standard 2-year contract. Hopefully, anyone who purchased the Atrix 4G for the full $199, or $499.99 price isn’t too upset after seeing it dropped this low in price. But I must admit, this is just another reason for anyone on AT&T to drop their iPhone’s and get the “World’s Most Powerful Smartphone!”
