Is is just me or is AT&T getting the better of the two phones? What gives? Double the ram from the Atrix to the Bionic.
Man that docking solutions are truly impressive.
@Sal I know. Hopefully there’s other phones going to be announced that are equal to the Atrix
The moto product page says it has 1GB on Verizon as well:

@Sal, I think so too. Just a smidge smaller screen, but with a fingerprint reader AND DOUBLE the RAM = instant win for AT&T.
That’s what VZW gets for not trusting Motorola and wanting some Apple action too hehehe
@JSK, the press conference AND press release says 512mb…….so since 2 > 1, I’m gonna go say it has 512mb ram only
There REALLY better be a wifi only version of the XOOM released on day one. Have they learned NOTHING from Samsung’s huge mistake??? Well I *was* excited about this product…
That Atrix phone better be for Verizon and not AT&T’s sucky network. This will definitely great for IT use and hospital use like where I work at.
I don’t know why they didn’t put the dock where the touchpad is, and use the touch screen of the phone as the touchpad. Then, you could also use the display of the phone for information. Plus, you wouldn’t have that awkward thing sticking out of the back, and you could open the screen a full 180 degrees. Otherwise, slick, but expected, since phones are becoming so powerful.
…drool…
A new Droid…I’m ready…too wait…too can’t wait too get it after waiting too get it about a month after its out lol
epic fail to offer the Bionic with 512 MB of Ram. AT&T has had and will remain the carrier for the premier smartphone.
@Lane: premier smartphone on a second rate network, enjoy!
I don’t know if we can say the premiere carrier. Despite the 512 of ram the Bionic is something to marvel. Still looking to see that LG Revolution that seems to have been put out and not spoken of. It would be great if Motorola put out that dock for the Bionic as well. I really dig the concept. Sometimes I am out and I don’t have good wifi, but I don’t want to pay for hot spot or tether, and I do want a lighter option and not have to carry my laptop. A device that utilizes my existing unlimited data and is just a screen and gives me more of a laptop experience anywhere. I like it.
