Pre orders Motorola Atrix 4G Pre order AT&T smartphone now available

Well look what simply popped up on AT&T’s website.  Yup, you'll be able to currently officially preorder the Motorola Atrix 4G from AT&T for a cool $200, with contract, and a $36 one-time activation fee.  The phone is scheduled to launch on March sixth, thus preorder customers can still have over 3 weeks of waiting before they will get their hands on the device.

AT&T is giving calling plans that vary from $40 per month for 450 minutes to $70 a month for unlimited minutes. information plans begin at $15 a month for 200MB of information, $25 a month for 2G of information, or $45 per month for 4GB of information and tethering and mobile hotspot functionality.

Also out there for preorder are accessories for the Atrix, together with the device’s $300 laptop dock (which needs an absurd $100 rebate), a $190 Entertainment Center dock, a $130 HD Multimedia Dock, or a $50 normal Dock.  Cases for the device from Otterbox, Speck, Body Glove and Incipio also are out there.

We were quite impressed at the Atrix when the device created its debut at CES 2011.  However, since then we’ve been disappointed by Motorola’s pricing for the Atrix’s varied docks.  The Atrix Laptop Dock, for instance, could be a key differentiator for the device, nonetheless it prices $300 – that’s over a netbook.  Even the house Entertainment Center prices nearly $200 – for that worth you’d be more happy memorizing an Apple TV, Roku XD, or perhaps a Internet-connected Blu-Ray player.
