individual folders for pics
Does anyone know the way to set up individual folders in the gallery for pictures? My Nexus One allowed for this and not being able to do it will be a deal breaker for me. I appreciate any help. Thanks

USB in back of Laptop
I am wondering if you can use a USB external hard drive for holding pictures, music, or movies and watch them on the laptop hub or the hub for home use? 😁

No it will not be on verizon. The only thing setting the atrix apart right now is the tegra chip but it will be in many phones soon

Mbps vs. mbps
I'd like to point out that the article states this phone is capable of speeds of 5.76 Mbps, which is accurate, but could be confusing. Mbps is megabytes per second, whereas mbps refers to megabits per second. This phone runs at 14.4 mbps or 14.4 megabits per second, which is equal to 5.76 megabytes per second. All of the speeds carriers advertise are in mbps (megabits per second), not Mbps.
So...I'm getting dizzy now.
I've always understood it as:
MBps = Megabytes per second
Mbps = Megbits per second.
Either way...
MBps = Megabytes per second
Mbps = Megbits per second.
Either way...

Your correction is incorrect. See analyst422's post regarding megabytes vs megabits.
Additionally, a byte is eight bits, not two bits. So, 14.4 megabits per second is 1.8 megabytes per second, not 5.76 megabytes per second.
Please be careful w...

Good, it should have, but it wasn't but it will be.
AT&T should have had this in place from day one, I own an Inspire and very happy with the phone, and it was intentionally crippled. Honestly it didn't bother so much that true HSPA+ wasn't turned on in my area yet, I get great hsdpa service, what did was the whole hsupa and mediocre uplink.
Remarkably they didn't tell any of the retail stores to inform the customers of this at the release. I made sure that the customers knew that it was a 4G capable device, since we don't have the pushed out backhaul in my area just yet, but I agree that...

accessory pricing insanity
$300 (bundled) or $500 (unbundled) for a keyboard and display? I can buy a full up netbook with equivalent display for $250 and have a much more capable device. if I'm going to haul along a laptop sized device, I might as well have a full pc.
not to mention the unbelievable oversight of not putting the phone dock where the touchpad is.
$140 for a powered USB hub and HDMI passthrough? I can buy the hub for $5 and the passthrough is unnecessary
$40 for a hunk of plastic to charge my phone on?
craziness.
if they priced the netbook dock @ 200, multimedia dock at 40 and the charging dock at 20, then I'd be all over them, but at the current pricing I am certainly not going to buy them. I'll wait for third party docks and skip th...

I'd have to agree that $300 for the mobile laptop is out of line. Plus you are required to pay for the tethering service at $45/month.
I could see some value or the HDMI hub if I decide to connect this thing up to a screen, mouse and keyboard. It...

Thank you in advance for your help.

I don't have the phone yet so I can't help you with that... But as a owner, an you confirm or counter the claims that the battery does not last on this phone? I didn't like the phonescoop review on the phone saying the battery is really bad. I wonder ...

CRIPPLED?
Anyone know if its true they're going to continue encrypting the bootloader?
It's a deal breaker for me, I need to be able to use my phones how I decide, not some distant marketing chimp.

Would be nice to actually KNOW that MOT has decided they really want to stay in business.

I'm a little bit worried about the bootloader being locked, but I have tremendous faith in the fine people at XDA. This is going to be the most popular phone on AT&T, and in the U.S., at least until the Bionic comes out to rival it, so the person who ...

March 1st!!!!!! It seems sooooo far!!
🤤
So I just got off the phone with At&t to see if existing customers can pre-order this phone any time soon and the old gal didn't even know what I was talking about, much less understand the question. But she did some looking and came back and told me that she had found some info on the phone stating it will launch MARCH 1ST!!!! Im tired of my Captivate not having crap for GPS. The ONLY thing I MIGHT miss is the SuperAMOLED. CES Was just a few days ago. The phone looked ready to go there... Why do I have to wait a month and a half.... Doesn't At&t want to lock in more customers into a contract befor a ton of them leave for the VZ iPhone 4? Not like I'll ever go to crapy provider... But this phone could seriously keep a bunch of peo...

Wow
A decent motorola for AT&T how the hell did that happen?
Its whatever, you won't be able to download tethering apps, the navigation won't work and it runs motoblur. Great specs but ultimately a failure because of AT&T's android politics.

Any leads on some early accessories for the Atrix? I'm ready to get the phone when it hits, but it would be nice to have a case and screen films too.

Motorola Website.
Got to the Motorola website and see what you can do with this phone. It's pretty awesome. I wonder what the price is gonna be. I have an iPhone 4 right now & love it, but depending on the price of this phone I may have to get it. It's gonna blow the iPhone away!
