As expected, the Motorola Atrix has found its way into Canada, and can now be found at Bell stores for $169.95 on a three-year contract. Bell is also selling a smattering of accessories, including the very cool laptop dock for $329.95, which provides a variety of computer-esque functions while being mostly powered by the Atrix plugged in the back.
The Motorola Atrix is a solid Android 2.2 handset, including a 5 megapixel camera with 720p video recording (plus front-facing jobby if you’re into the video calling thing), a dual-core 1 GHz processor, 1 GB of RAM, 4-inch 540 x 960 screen, and Wi-Fi, GPS, and HSPA+ 3G. Be sure to check out our full review here.
We’ve been a little starved for high-end Android hardware up in Canada for the last while. Bell’s last big Android handset was the Desire Z in November, while Rogers launched the Galaxy S Captivate in October. The only thing relatively recent is the HTC Desire HD, which came out on Telus in February. Compared to the U.S., we’re still waiting on the Samsung Nexus S, and we probably won’t see the spicy stuff coming out on CDMA carriers south of the border like the HTC EVO, Samsung Epic 4G, or the Thunderbolt.
Griping aside, you can find the Motorola Atrix in Bell’s online store.
