everybody it's Michael with pocketnow.com and something cool just showed up at my door this is the Motorola Atrix HD it's the third in Motorola's Atrix line of handsets and just showed up it got here a few minutes ago and we're gonna give you a full review as soon as we can but in the meantime we figured we'd like to show you what's inside the box so let's get to it so taking a tour around the box here we can see that a TN t--'s I'll be kind and say minimalist packaging effort is still in full force I have to be honest it bothers me that the normal 18t packaging is so cheap it really doesn't help the presentation but anyway on the front here we've got the device pictured along with some clip art with the Motorola and AT&T branding down in the corners there nothing really impressive nothing terribly important on the sides here except for some call-outs and some copyright information on the back we've got a few call-outs to the device's features we've got the 4G LTE badge there the Kevlar call-out which we will learn more about in a second smart actions to extend battery life where it's an Android phone of course and a four star eco rating from AT&T how about that that's great it's enough that let's turn it over and pop it open here sorry I got some of you apparently boom the first thing we see is a Quick Start Guide which we can go ahead and get out of the way this opens like a random acknowledge the device itself on the Left which I'm going to take out and put aside very carefully for a moment once again we have the same call outs here almost the same call outs we pull aside the cheap cardboard and underneath here we've just got the and dropped the SIM card holder this is a USB cable this is an American wall charger this is a motorola guide on battery use and legal notifications and things like that and then we have a method of getting apps that's easy and the of course the obligatory SIM card holder so nothing terribly impressive in the box let's come on back to the device here now the first thing I noticed when I picked the phone out is that the phone feels really hefty in the hand it weighs in at about a hundred and forty grams but it feels heavier because the build is much more solid obviously we've got the jet black version here so I'm trying to pour as much light on it as possible to get it to show up in the camera the camera hump on the back slopes down gradually instead of abruptly on the other motorola units so it makes it feel thicker overall but at its thinnest point here it's still a very respectable of 8.4 millimeters then it's not too bad and I'm not gonna lie after handling cheaper feeling phones from other manufacturers it's really really nice to hold a Motorola built product again it feels like it could take a beating so up front we've got a 4.5 inch 720p display it's an HD color boost TFT LCD down below it is the ATT globe logo here and nice and understated counterbalance to the Motorola branding up top up top an earpiece very difficult to see here but there's a front-facing camera there as well on the side a power button and volume rocker now these look like metal but I'm pretty sure they're plastic based on how they feel on the back if we can take this plastic coating off we can we have the same kevlar coating as is found on the Droid Razr and the Droid RAZR MAXX which I was really happy to see because I really liked the look of that pattern I think it's a really unique thing that Motorola does there I think it gives the phone a very high-end appearance your opinion may very well let's see what else we got underneath that is a non removable 1780 milliamp hour lipo battery up top there is an 8 megapixel camera with LED flash capable of shooting 1080p video along with the speakerphone down below here is the primary microphone up top we've got the HDMI and micro USB ports along with a three-and-a-half millimeter headphone jack off to the side and on the left here there is a slot I'm sure there's two slots under a common door for the micro SD and micro sim so let's go ahead and take off the screen protector here you have a little handy call out there where to pull wonderful I love doing that that's a great feeling and will give you a first boot and then we'll call this a video press and hold on power there's the Motorola logo it's amazing what did the difference in carrier branding can do I mean the fact that the AT&T globe is just the globe and not the Verizon check mark on the Droid Razr is very nice more understated just by virtue of being a different logo so we've got some interesting animations happening on the motor oil icon here's AT&T is carrier splash screen it's blowing out the white balance a little sorry and we are live at the lockscreen there boom we're gonna have a full review as soon as possible on this device after we've given it the proper run ends so stay tuned at pocketnow.com for that you can follow us on twitter at pocket now -
