AT&T has announced the world’s most powerful smartphone

I think this all makes for an exciting summer when Apple decide to release iPhone 5.

I'm hoping all this great hardware will push Apple into releasing something they were saving for the 6!

One thing I dislike about Apple is the tiny iterations they do in order just to keep consumers buying their products! Can't blame them though...
 
this is the first smartphone other than the iPhone 4 that has made me double take.

Looks really impressive, and the battery.........christ.

One positive thing Apple fans can take away from this is the fact the next iPhone will be better......now we know what sort of phones are possible to make.
 
You have to give props to Motorola. Love them or hate them, the father of cell phones has made a dramatic comeback with these Android phones in less than 18 months. Moto looked DEAD in the water just a couple years ago after their success and decline with the RAZR. Go back to 2008 and early 2009, and nobody was talking about Motorola all that much anymore.

Honeycomb also looks very promising on their tablet, Motorola Xoom. Much better than what you might expect from Android. Shows you how fickle the consumer can be. I am very excited for the Atrix. For once, AT&T gets a nice phone that isn't an iPhone. Atrix is like a breath of fresh air compared to all the rehashes that HTC and Samsung have been releasing during the past year or so.

You can not always take that away. Take for example the 3GS. It was behind the curve the day it came out compared to what else was already on the market.

Motorola is a great company with a wonderful history. With Moto, you know that you will get well built designs. Almost every major Moto smartphone feels like a brick (in a good way), and Moto pays careful attention to the quality of the touchscreen and display. Compare this with Samsung, which is all about pushing specs and using the cheapest means to produce the phones. All of the Galaxy S phones, except the Captivate and the Epic, are made with .5mm thin plastic, mated with cheap pentile matrix screens that impress noobs that don't know any better.

The screen on that Atrix should be glorious because Motorola actually cares about real quality.

Nevertheless, I do like Samsung. Our 50-inch Sammy plasma is fine, and my Sharp Aquos with its Samsung S-PVA panel served me very well for over 3 years. Samsung has tons of potential and owns most of the means of production --NAND flash, ARM, OLED, etc.. Samsung is one of the few corporations in the entire globe that designs and actually manufactures almost every little part of its smartphones and other electronics. Now if only the company can stop focusing so much on specs and numbers and deliver better user satisfaction.
