Motorola also included with this device its own webtop application, which is meant to offer a PC-like experience from any screen, and also packed Mobile Hotspot capability with the device.
Further more, it offers a series of accessories that can expand the capabilities of this handsets, such as the MOTOROLA Lapdock, or the Motorola HD Multimedia Dock.
“The Motorola ATRIX is a high-performance super-smartphone that takes full advantage of Bell's world-leading 4G broadband mobile network,” said Adel Bazerghi, senior vice president of products at Bell Mobility.
“Operating exclusively on Canada's Best Network, the Motorola Atrix is powerful enough to meet the mobile computing and multimedia demands of both Bell business and consumer clients.”
