Made official last week, Motorola ATRIX HD has just hit shelves in the United States and customers can purchase it via AT&T for as low as $99.99 USD (80 EUR) with a new two-year agreement. The smartphone is available in Modern White and Titanium at all AT&T retail locations and online.

There’s more to it, as the carrier mentions that for a limited time, customers who purchase the Motorola ATRIX HD at participating locations will also receive a Vehicle Dock at no additional charge.

Motorola and AT&T have a long-term partnership that involves the former’s ATRIX series of smartphones. The sequel to the ATRIX 2, Motorola ATRIX HD is the most powerful smartphone launched by the US-based company.

In this regard, the ATRIX HD is equipped with a dual-core Qualcomm MSM8960 Snapdragon (Krait) processor clocked at 1.5 GHz, an Adreno 225 GPU and 1GB of RAM.

Our customers look to their smartphones to provide new, compelling experiences and the Motorola ATRIX HD does just that. With features that automatically customize over time to be contextually aware of the user’s daily routine and preferences, ATRIX HD is a great example of smartphones getting smarter,” said Jeff Bradley, senior vice president – Devices, AT&T Mobility.

Another selling point of the ATRIX HD is the vibrant 4.5-inch HD (720 x 1280 pixels) ColorBoost capacitive touchscreen display that features Corning Gorilla Glass coating.

The phone comes with only 8GB of internal memory, which can be further expanded up to 32GB via microSD memory card.

On the back, the ATRIX HD boasts an 8-megapixel camera with autofocus, LED flash and full HD (1080p) video recording. There’s also a secondary 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera for video calls. Check it out here.

Motorola ATRIX HD was designed for people who get excited about new technology, but want it to make their life easier, feed their need for entertainment and make a statement. This next evolution of the ATRIX family delivers a slimmer, stronger, smarter, Android-powered device at a great price,” added Mark Shockley, senior vice president, Go-to-Market, Motorola Mobility.
