AT&T Motorola Atrix 4G may launch on March 1
By Vlad Bobleanta on 13 Jan 11The king (or queen) of the show at CES 2011, at least where smartphones were concerned, was undoubtedly the Motorola Atrix 4G, that’s headed to AT&T. And while we have been extensively made to drool seeing its specs, two details were missing from its unveiling, as they were from almost all CES smartphone announcements – pricing and the date of release.
While pricing will surely be around $199 with a new 2-year contract, as all high-end smartphones have been priced for a couple of years in the US, the release date is something that more people have been anxious to hear about, since a release very far from the announcement might make other more interesting phones show up on people’s radars in the mean time.
According to what is said to be a leaked internal AT&T document, that date will be March 1. The folks over at AndroidCentral, who have been the recipients of the leak, do mention that that’s a Tuesday, and AT&T has a tendency to only launch new devices on Sundays, so perhaps we should take this with a grain of salt.
Nevertheless, this is the very first mention of an actual shipping date for the Atrix, so even if it’s wrong, hopefully it’s so only by a bit and we’ve at least gotten the time frame for the release. We’ll know for sure in about seven and a half weeks – or before then, if AT&T decides to officially announce the date at some point.
