FCC Approval :D

[Shad0w26]

Motorola files dozens upon dozens of FCC certifications a year, so what makes us so sure this here IHD-P56LS1 is the might Atrix 4G for AT&T? Fair question: for one thing, it's got 850 and 1900MHz 3G (or 4G, in AT&T parlance). Furthermore, it's approved for 5GHz 802.11n WiFi, which is extraordinarily rare for a phone -- and it was a feature Moto was sure to pimp during the Atrix's CES unveiling. Oh, and finally, it's identified in the filing as model number MB860, which would be the Atrix's model number. So yeah, there's one more checkmark to tick off prior to release... which hopefully won't be too much longer, because we're seriously jonesing to do some laptop docking.

What is the average period of time between a phone gets approved by the FCC to it's release date?

Very good question. I am hoping that AT&T announces a pre-order period soon. I plan on getting the phone with all the available docks. I can't wait!!!

Don't know about the average, but iPhone 4 (Verizon) got FCC approval on January 11 and it will be released on the 10th of February.

So around a month's time... give or take a few days

Feb 20th is a Sunday............. but I still believe it will be after the Super Bowl, plus it'll be closer to Vzw's iphone launch, which makes sense.

Also, AT&T better start pumping out their Atrix commercials (No, the ones by Motorola do not count). Or............not do that, lead to faster lowering of the phone's price, and I'll grab it later on the cheap for the win
