Head on over to your nearest AT&amp;T store or online to get your hands on this 4-inch, Tegra 2 dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, qHD touchscreen, 5 MP camera, VGA front-facing camera and lets not forget about the docking station and laptop dock available as well."</em></p><p><em></em><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/adt/auto/1298514033.usr283.jpg" style="border: 0;" /></p><p>I have to say that I've been intrigued by these new dual-core phones which will be hitting the stores this year. In some ways it seems like a bit of overkill; my year old Nexus One with its single-core processor seems plenty snappy to me. One of the nice things is the wide range of accessories already available for this phone at launch.</p><p>The price of the phone ranges from $199 directly from AT&amp;T, all the way down to a <a href="http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/02/23/costco-now-selling-the-atrix-4g-for-119-99-with-a-free-accessory-bundle-on-a-2-year-contract-internal-scans/" target="_blank">rumored</a> $119.99 with an assortment of accessories at Costco, all with the obligatory 2 year contract.</p><p>So, how about it; are you ready to pull the trigger on this device or are you waiting to see what else is coming around this year? Will the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/23/atandts-brewing-hsupa-gate-the-inside-story/" target="_blank">hoopla</a> over AT&amp;T's 4G performance hurt initial sales? Let me know what you think in the comments.</p>

I played with the Atrix for 15 minutes or so at AT&T and I also played with the Samsung Captivate. I have to say the Sammy's screen is MUCH better and it seemed more responsive. I liked the Atrix, but it didn't blow my socks off. The thing I liked the most about the Atrix is the battery!

I'm going to wait till the new Samsung Galaxy S2 comes out and decide what to get then...
