The only issue when ordering from Amazon would be if you have an unlimited data plan and want to keep it, there is no option to do so. I even called AT&T and was told that if I loose my unlimited data plan by mistake, that I will have to open a case....smh

I don't have a smart phone right now so only option is Amazon for a cheaper price and saving tax
Atrix available on Amazon for $150.
I was looking to get the Atrix and I called AT&T today and the Business Customer care said they could upgrade me early (March 7 is actual date). Can AT&T actually change this on their system so it shows Feb 22 so I can pay $150 through Amazon/Radio Shack?
Just curious if anyone knows.
The Atrix 4G is now available for $149.99 @ Amazon
http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Atrix-4G-Android-Phone/dp/B004KZP4BQ
And it's $599 off contract?
I thought retail on this thing was $499?
Anyone getting a new account with AT&T could get the Atrix for $99.99 or the Inspire for FREE if you go in through this link!!
http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/de...are&siteId=OOTtr9mlaCk-CHBidmCJWvQFnU9zvbA38A
The discount really does work. I would post a pic but I can't upload one through the iPad. I would definitely do it if I didn't have an account there's no place beating that price!

Can also verify this works but AT&T still charges activation; with my setup (family plan with 2 phones) Amazon is cheaper by $30.

Amazon wants to put me on the data plan, but I have an unlimited Data plan grandfathered in... Anyone know how to get around this? Or am I screwed into paying the AT&T store price?

Glad to hear you got it! I just tried it and it doesn't work for the Atrix anymore It still works for the Inspire though.
Let me know guys. Thanks!
Got one at best buy for $399 but its.going back. Its overrated.
With all the threads today I'm actually trying to decide whether or not to ship my iPhone offto Gazelle and return the Atrix.
Powerful phone and very responsive.
Just not wild about being at ATT and Motorola mercy for software update someday.

There are things I love/hate about both the iPhone and Atrix, so I'm seriously caught in the middle. Any thoughts about why I shouldn't ditch the Atrix yet? You said wait, but I'm not sure "what" you wanted me to wait for
Some are selling on ebay for around $350.
not spending 500 bucks...
I'm in with the "cheaper dock" thing
I want the dock, I find the idea to be genial, but I do not see why I should pay $500 for essentially a screen, a keyboard and a battery.
So, anyone know of a cheaper source (or when - if - prices eventually go down), let me know. I'll keep subscribed to this thread
As I mentioned. Best Buy - $399.00 ($100 off)
You can order it from Motorola for around 360; granted I took my Atrix back before I got a chance to use it.
I love the idea but a lot of reviews and people with first hand experience said it was a little laggy.
If it was 200 bucks I'd grab one today though.

Not anymore, you can't. It is not available anymore in Moto's online store. Before they took the accessory down, they bumped up the price again to US$499.
Not sure if I even want to spend 400 bucks on it (bestbuy). I personally think that is still too much for this piece of hardware.
It's $299 from ATT after a $100 MIR. I can't post links yet, but just search for lapdock and it comes up.

Only applies for people on an AT&T plan. Where this does not apply, this is the same price as letstalk.com.
Thanks for pointing it out though, this is another place to order. And a good deal for AT&T customers
It seems the Lapdock is now on sale in Canada for a mere CAD 330 (as opposed to US$ 399 being the cheapest in US). Unfortunately, it seems futureshop does not ship internationally, so it seems there is no way for me to order it from there.
This, however, brings up an interesting pricing question: is Moto test-driving a different price in Canada, just to see how it sells? Does that mean the US price is going to drop, or does it mean the Canadian price is going to go up later on?
More importantly: how do I get this shipped internationally from Canada? Any ideas?

If it were me, I'd have it shipped to a postal annex or USP store or something, then have them intercept it and forward the mail to any address of your choosing.
ATT Moto Atrix (2G ) is now $99 at Amazon Wireless. [now $49.99 at Amazon Wireless]
Edit : [now $99.99 on Costco as well for new customer. Free activation, shipping & accessories]
So my question is Can i trust it to work perfectly out of the box ? and go buy online. I see from this forum that there is lot that can go wrong with it.
(I dont wanna go through the online return hassle in case there is a defective or problematic set. Its much easier to exchange it at the store).
I bought my atrix from AmazonWireless. They're great support-wise and price-wise.
Have you experienced any of the problems like lagging unlock screen, bad mic or voice quality, or poor touchscreen response or any other defects its known for ?
One of the units i tried at store had poor touchscreen response esp. while typing messages while the one my friend has works fine
Can't say I've experienced any of those oddities with mine. And while it is a bigger hassle to ship a defective unit back, Amazon will cover postage in both directions if something's wrong with the device.

I bought it through Amazon wireless. I requested an exchange because I found the battery life to be a bit short, no questions asked overnight shipping. FedEx messed up a bit though and by the time i got the new phone the battery life had improved on the old one
Both phones didn't have any hardware malfunction. Usually people satisfied with their phones don't post online.

I can confirm the refund. I just got $20 back as the price dropped from $149 to $129 for an upgrade on a family plan. He didn't say what the time window was (although it was a concern of his), but he did say I would be ineligible for any future refunds due to another price drop.

Thanks for the replies guys. Its good to see Amazon standing behind the product. If only ATT was little less anoying .They are just losing business by pulling out letstalk and wirefly. Hell i could have gotten free activation as well (i am greedy )
I emailed them and got $20 back Thanks!
So if I upgrade through Amazon Wireless my plan just carries over exactly as-is? I just don't want to order a phone online and then have my data package change from the $30 unlimited iPhone one.
Costco has it for 119, free activation.
Not sure how Amazon handles the plan differences, but make sure you don't loose the unlimited.

How did Costco handle that?
The best prices for the Atrix are online, but I'm skeptical of losing my unlimited data plan if I upgrade through them. If anyone can confirm that Costco allows you to keep your current data plan without "upgrading" to the DataPro 2gb package, I'll be ordering it today.

It will change, but AT&T will change it back if you call them after you activate the phone. If you've *ever* had unlimited in the past, they will honor that commitment.

I think this is the case. I had spoken with an AT&T rep yesterday because I would much rather get the Atrix from Amazon Wireless ($99 vs $199 from AT&T). He assured me that I would be able to keep my current $30 unlimited data plan. I also made sure to ask him specifically about transferring to a non-iPhone handset purchased from Amazon, after a minute on hold he came back and told me again I would keep the plan.
I had him notate my account just to be sure though....
-Doogs™
Now Costco is also selling it for $99.99 for new customer .
not sure about data plans but should be able to keep unlimited. Might as well call or chat before ordering to make sure.
It's worth noting that I just stopped into my local Walmart Supercenter a couple hours ago, ran by the cell phones, and they've dropped their price on the Atrix to $118. Not sure if that's a nationwide change or just my store, but it's worth looking into.
I also talked to the rep about keeping my unlimited plan, and he said it wouldn't be a problem, which clears up any skepticism I had about that if I bought the phone anywhere other than an AT&T retail store. I'm stoked. I'll be going back very soon to pick it up.
An att rep told me that they were planning on dropping amazon soon. Sounds quite plausible.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Wow can't believe Amazon dropped the price again for atrix in a week ..... Its now $49.99 at Amazon Wireless . Too bad for the folks who got $30 refund this week .. I guess its just the buyers remorse with every smartphone these days.
Just found this deal. Unlocked for $599, best price I have found. Anyone dealt with this place before?

Be careful...they use to be called "Exoticphones.com"
I'd be careful too...
How can they offer a discount with an ATT plan????
Seems suspicious to me...but good luck if you go with it!
Im only guessing here but I bet a phone vendor could sign you up for ATT with any phone, like an iPhone. Then turn around and sell that iPhone at retail to another person. But give you the 2 year discount on the Note.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Vendor signs you up for a new 2 year contract with at&t. They choose iphone 4s as your new phone. They keep the 4s and sell it for like $600 bucks. They are then able to offer you the note for $599
I would cut the middle man out and just do it yourself if you don't already have an at&t contract or are not in upgrade status.
Just odered with overnight shipping. Will let you guys know how it goes. Im beyond excited!

Did you order for $599, or did you do the contract? If legit, the contract is very tempting.

The contract is only $200 cheaper. If you instead extend your contract with buying an iphone 4s, you'll come out far ahead. You'll pay $200 (instead of $400) and you can sell it on ebay for $600 at least then use that money for the Note. So in effect the iphone route is at least $200 cheaper for the same end result. That is assuming this is legit, and ignoring ebay fees (use craigslist.)

I also just called them up. I work in NYC and they seem to offer local pickup, so what better way to see if they actually have it in stock then to walk over there...The person that answered said it was out of stock and due back in, in about 2 weeks.
When I pressed for a more specific date, he just said he wasn't sure, but about 2 weeks.
...All kinds of red flags here.

Thanks. I was partially looking at it as a convenience issue (not having to deal with reselling, no fees, no uncertainty of what it ultimately sells for), but you're right, $200, or even $100, is a big chunk for convenience. But ultimately, it's not very convenient if "electropirise" screws you over.

Watching this thread since I wouldn't advice anyone to order anything from that website and I'm really curious to see if they will deliver.
There's another thread discussing the website that OP bought the phone. Always use the search button.
Just wanted to make everyone aware that Amazon is selling Notes for $660 shipped. That is the cheapest I've seen ANYWHERE on the web. I picked one up today through amazon, fulfilled by the oem shop.
Hopefully I'll get a new unit that hasn't been opened.
Yesasia.com has it about $650. I only bought small things from the site,yet I feel it does business alright.

Anyone know if the OP got his Note next day, or at all?
Dang, Expansys-USA is up to a whopping $779.99 for theirs.
So here is the link with the details of the trade in offer. Being on AT&T, the only option is an Atrix HD. The problem is, that came out with a price point of $50. Amazon and Best Buy now have it listed for free with a contract renewal. So once again, we just got another slap in the face.
It is tempting to get a free Atrix HD and slap the Razor Maxx battery in it though...saw that in their forum. I also saw in their forum that they have finally rooted it but are still working on the bootloader...get that done and it is tempting.

Read more closely, you get a $100 Motorola Visa Prepaid Card for using the trade-in program. So you can either get it from Amazon for free or get it from AT&T for $99 and use the $100 rebate. Either way you end up even as far as money spent. That being said, AT&T won't keep the Atrix HD at $99 forever, so you can probably make a little money on that offer if you aren't dying to do it today.

Hmmm... Wait 6-8 weeks to get my $100? Worse yet... to find out that because of some obscure rule or something I don't qualify because I'm bald and I am stuck with a phone I had to pay for when I could have maybe gotten something better like a Sammy 3?
Thanks for the offer but no thanks. If maybe they had a unit that was competing head to head with the HTC1X or the SG3, then maybe I'd consider it.
What a bunch of worthless clowns, they're merely guaranteeing 100$ from Clover Wireless, a company that buys used phones and reconditions them for resale. You can send your phone to them at any time for trade in value.
Or, you could sell it on Craigslist.
In addition you don't get the phone unless the phone is active on your account at the time of purchase of the new phone.
Finally Atrix2 is abandoned too.. Check Motorola forum...

Atrix 2 got dropped already after one update? Not surprised. The Atrix HD doesn't look impressive with it's 1GB RAM, not when other phones are out with 2GB RAM. I'm not sure how future-proof it will be, but then again, it looks like Motorola is turning these things into disposable devices, despite the 2 - 3 year contracts.

The business concept for mobile phones is to make people think they are disposable products. Device makers working with carriers to ensure a mutual benefit; make a device with a 1-2 year life span, claim a price 10 times what it cost to make, sell it for double what it cost to make ($50-$200) with a minimum 2 year contract then just before the contracts start giving out (18 months) stop issuing updates to persuade people they need to trade in their old device which is still viable. Set up a trade-in program, refurbish for $0-$20 a device, turn around and sell it used for another $50-$100.
Pretty sweet deal if you ask me considering both the device makers and the carriers all win big off of consumers.
As for the actual cost of a device, take the iPhone 5 for an example. 64gb device costs $399 for a 2 year contract and the 32gb version costs $299 with the same contract? Wow...that better be by far the fastest, most incredibly efficient 32gb of $100 memory considering I paid $90 for an OCZ Agility 3 64gb drive nearly a year ago. The whole process is nothing more than gouging the consumer and borderline price fixing/oligopoly both of which the Telcom industry has not only been notorious for but so notorious that the Bell System/ATT antri trust agreement with the Feds that occurred back in the early 80's only recently ended.

LOL. But did they say when? Actually, there was some "development device" they were marketing, but the only thing I saw that made it a development device was an unlockable bootloader and lack of warranty and nothing on a hardware level access (serial/JTAG/ICSP) or documentation level.

My dad has an iPhone 3GS. Old device.. and he's running iOS 6!!!!
I can't believe Motorola left us out in the cold again. I had a Motorola Cliq. I should have learned my lesson, but noooo... I had to go back to them.
Meanwhile, my other phone (a Galaxy Note) receives so many updates a month I actually have to choose which ones I want to apply.
Motorola: NEVER AGAIN.

Hey man I'm not saying I believed it or anything.
Actually...there's not many phones with 2GB of ram. IMO...Atrix HD is a nice phone with nice performance.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747...former ATRIX owner...using xda app-developers app
Have not read all of the details but how about do the trade in for Atrix HD with ATT and get the $100 from Moto. Before 30 days is up, you can go back to att and trade the HD in for SGIII or other phone. Will Moto know any different? Just saying.
