AT&T Motorola ATRIX 4G pre-orders open

As promised, AT&T has thrown open pre-orders for the Motorola ATRIX 4G, ahead of the dual-core smartphone's release on or around March 6. Priced at $199.99 with an online discount, the ATRIX 4G has a 4-inch qHD 540 x 960 display, HSPA+ and can be paired with an optional keyboard dock. Details on plans after the cut.

AT&T's usual three voice plans – between $39.99 and $69.99 per month – are mandatory, as is a data plan. Three of those are on offer, from $15 per month for 200MB of HSPA+ data, $25 per month for 2GB, or $45 for 4GB (shared between the phone and tethering).

As for the accessories, the Laptop Dock – which allows you to slot the ATRIX 4G into a notebook-style chassis with a full keyboard and 11.6-inch display – runs to $299.99 after a $100 mail-in rebate, while the HD Media Dock is $129.99. Motorola's Bluetooth keyboard is $69.99, or for $189.99 AT&T will give you the HD Media Dock, keyboard and a wireless mouse.

There's also the standard dock, for $49.99, and the vehicle dock, for $39.99. We're still putting the ATRIX 4G through its paces, but until then check out our unboxing and first-impressions article and our hands-on video below.
