In a refreshing move by Motorola, plans have been announced to preemptively abandon this device in favor of one that hasn’t been announced yet.
ICS was available since two weeks here in India. This is perfect, i love my phone even more with ICS.
I am not getting the update!!! Feeling very irritated right now. Is this bad scoop?
May be it is still in the soak test and not yet out for all consumers.
I have Atrix 4G :-( and dying to see some kind of news about soak tests starting for it now that Atrix 2 is almost out the door.
maybe good things will come to those who wait. LOL. Still waiting. Motorola site says its out but I guess it takes time. I keep checking my phone. Still says its up to date.
