Anyone know when?

[corneliusm]

Yup, I've seen the commercial on TV as well, and I don't even watch much TV anymore.

It'd make no sense to advertise a product that won't be out for over a month and a half.

Apparently no, they're not smart enough to do it. I think you owe me an apology. And this will be the last time that I post my first hand information here because of how ungrateful the members of this forum are.

So - since you are an AT&T employee - can you tell me what prelaunch means relative to what we are seeing and hearing? In side bar conversations at their booths AT&T, Motorola and NVIDIA all said that the phone would be available this month. Now you are saying March 1st. Why would they be advertising a phone on TV seven weeks out? That really doesn't make sense.

And...I really appreciate you posting the picture. Could you by chance post one that wasn't so blurry and one that perhaps shows more of the screen?

Any other AT&T employees on here to confirm what we are seeing?

If the date is true then it is a deal breaker for me. I would rather wait for the bionic or look for better stuff at MWC 11. Maybe a HTC dual core.

@Bloodiedwrath... thanks for the info .. u may be right but i dont want to believe u jus cos i wanted this phone out soon.. A picture will definitely be helpful to confirm.

March 1 wouldnt be a deal breaker for me. It'd kill me to wait that long but march 1 I will be in florida on vacation so theoretically it would be easier to go wait in line at the att store (plus i'll have more $$ by then; I'm thinking acessories!

 

[blopez24]

If march is a release date for this then I can already see sprint releasing a dual core in feb. Which is why they're holding the event in feb in NYC.

edit:

Not that im saying they will release one but they will be the first again on something and i dont think they're talking tablet at this conference.

 

[Chris Kerrigan]

Well unless they beat Verizon to the lunch, they wont be the first it release dual core. Sure its possible, but I don't know if it'd be worth creating a whole event for.

This link here says that it is going to be Q2 instead of Q1.

That specific gsmarena link says "For European Markets"; that could be a EU release date. I'm more inclined to lean toward the early February target. Like many have said, it doesn't make sense to advertise so early on a national stage.

As much as I enjoy the speculation I doubt we'll really know until ATT tells us. Or some enterprising ATT employee gets a good, non blurry covert photot

Edit to add: Whenever it is, I hope it's soon. My 3gs keeps crashing and rebooting, even in fully restored native mode. I'm ready to throw it against a wall.

@bloodiedwrath

I hardly think someone who challenges your assertion (that wasn't backed with any fact other than your first hand knowledge, which isn't verifiable) represents the entire forum. thanks for sharing that little gem though...

 

[john_v]

Ok all that being said he did post a picture further down. Let's keep it civil and focus our creative energies on the Atrix

 

[blopez24]

Just go to motorola.com. The fact that its the first thing you see in the mobility site is the Atrix and the commercial that was shown on tv already tells me this phone is coming out soon. Yay! I still feel its this month like it was said at ces.

 

[anon(41845)]

It just seems odd to me that they would start advertising the phone nearly two months before it goes on sale.

 

[Phil Nickinson]

It'll be available on March 1st. I don't have a price, but I now know for sure it comes with a micro SD card in the box (not sure the size). That's all I know over what you all do.

We got a little confirmation. Thanks for the date, and sorry for all the haters!

(PS: All you haters in here owe someone an apology.)

[john_v]

I suppose I can wait until March 1. Hopefully that means it launches relatively bug-free. I'd muchrather that they take the extra few weeks and get it right.

 

[btgrave]

still refuse to believe march 1st.

 

[crea78]

March 1 is cool with me since my contract ends 2/20.

 

[spoiler61]

Returned my Captivate today and the lady there wasnt straight forward w/ me but did hint at march 1st....This is going to be a long 1 1/2 months...

 

[rickabe]

A rep today told me their internal company website lists March 1 also.

 

[textiaac]

this is all b.s. they are going to release it when they want to, not when it makes most sense.

 

[Blanco720]

this is all b.s. they are going to release it when every they want to, not when it makes most sense.

Wouldn't you assume that "when they want to" would also be when it makes sense? I don't do anything just because I want to. I do things because it makes sense to do them. Which means I want to do them. ?
