The Atrix is one of the most anticipated phones up for release in the UK phone market and has already caused a sensation in the United States. Although the UK version will not be 4G enabled like its American counterpart it will still offer some excellent connectivity options and garner a lot of attention for being one of the first dual core smartphones up for sale.

With a dual core 1GHz CPU and 1GB RAM the Atrix is certainly a powerful phone. So powerful in fact, that Motorola had the novel idea of using it to power other devices. This is because the Atrix comes with a number of additional docking ports that can transform it from a mere Android smartphone into a fully-fledged laptop or multimedia hub.

The laptop dock has the appearance of a standard laptop but in itself is just a lifeless shell. The device only jumps to life once the raw power of the Atrix is inserted into the back, whereupon the webtop operating system is booted to the laptop dock. This OS is different to the Android employed on the phone itself as it is a fully multitasking windowed interface with the ability to run desktop applications like ...
... Mozilla Firefox.

Likewise the Atrix can be inserted into a multimedia dock allowing you to easily access all of the music, video and photos contained within the phone through a specialised interface that appears on your home television. The Atrix can also be connected to a TV via DLNA Wi-Fi and an HDMI port making it certainly the best smartphone for portable entertainment.

But enough of these optional extras, the Atrix is a superlative smartphone in its own right. Running on Android Froyo and with the Motoblur interface firmly in place the Atrix is a great phone for messaging through email, social networks or instant messaging and also comes with threaded SMS. 3G and Wi-Fi connections allow you to connect the Atrix online to make use of these features as well as others including a fast and enjoyable web browsing experience and online video content from services like YouTube.

The phone comes with access to Android Market where you can make use of some fantastic apps and games, and it also possesses one of the highest quality screens with a qHD resolution and Gorilla Glass. The Atrix also possesses the novel feature of a biometric fingerprint scanner for added security. The Atrix comes with a front facing VGA camera for video calling and a rear facing 5 megapixel camera with 720p video support (and 1080p video support available from a future update).

The Atrix is certainly one of the most anticipated smartphones of 2011 and one of the most desirable Android handsets up for release. Its qHD display offers excellent visual quality and the Atrix packs a lot of hardware power meaning that virtually nothing is beyond its reach. The optional docking ports for the multimedia hub and laptop are the optional features that truly set this phone apart as being something quite unique.

Mobile phone comparison websites can be a great way to save money on Samsung Galaxy S2 deals, as they help you to find the best one. You can also find the best phone deals for many other handsets.
