MOTOROLA ATRIX™

1Welcome
Welcome
MOTOROLA ATRIX
It’s not part computer, it’s leave-your-computer-behind.
• A computer that doubles as a phone: Built with
PC-like dual-core technology, the MOTOROLA
ATRIX also comes packing 1GB of RAM. You’ll see
everything in crisp, rich 24-bit color with the world’s
first qHD smartphone display. With the support of
up to 48GB memory, you’ll be able to store
thousands of songs, photos, and files.
• A phone that acts like a computer: With the
revolutionary webtop, you now have the freedom to
access and manage your files, photos, emails and
web on a larger screen virtually anywhere you go.
Just connect your ATRIX using the optional
Lapdock™ or HD Multimedia Dock (page 37).
Note: Certain apps and features may not be available
in all countries.
Caution: Before assembling, charging, or using your
phone for the first time, please read the important
legal and safety information packaged with your
product.
