You might be familiar with this phone as there are many commercials portraying this phone as a mini Android Computer made functional and easy to use by adjusting the phone in a doc. The phone is in-fact the first to be branded as “4G” by AT&T. The main highlight of the phone is its extremely fast  two 1GHz cores processors. The processor makes web browsing, video streaming and multi-tasking very smooth.

The front of the camera has a 4 inch qHD (Quarter High Definition) touchscreen display, with a set of physical buttons beneath the screen for menu (contextual), home, return, and search. The clarity of the screen is quite appreciating and the width is satisfactory.

The Motorola Atrix uses Android 2.2 (Froyo), not with the more recent Android 2.3 (Gingerbread). So the phone does not support SIM calling, near-field communications (NFC) for mobile payments, or the enhanced front-facing camera technology that Gingerbread offers. Still, Android running on the dual-core processor is a very nice (and responsive) environment to work in. [Product Page]

The ThunderBolt’s 4.3-inch WVGA screen gives you ample room to maneuver your fingers while touch-typing and navigating Websites when you’re on the go. However, when you are outdoors the screen glare makes it hard to use the phone with ease.

The back has a decent 8 mega-pixel camera which captures good quality images and is very fast and easy to use. The front has a 1.3 megapixel camera. The software is very sophisticated for good than the default Android. Although, some of the features seem to be copied from iOS. Overall, the Sense UI is a great OS for this perfect smart phone.
