AT&T Motorola Atrix HD hands-on and unboxing
This week we’ve got the newest version of Motorola and AT&T‘s line of powerful smartphones, this time dubbed Atrix HD due to its ultra high resolution display. This device also runs on AT&T’s 4G LTE network and closely resembles the device on Verizon known as the DROID RAZR.

A Motorola StarTAC saved me
A StarTAC saved my life. Well, not really. I wasn’t accidentally transported to the World War II trenches, and saved from a bullet to the heart by an artfully placed Motorola in my jacket pocket.
