I saw in an unboxing video that the Bell Atrix comes with headphones. Is this true? I'm pretty sure the AT&T Atrix does not come with these.
If it does have headphones are they any good?
OLD QUESTION
How big is the internal SD card in the Motorola Atrix form Bell?
If you are an AT&T user please don't assume the Bell Atrix is the same.
Anyone that knows 100% please tell me how big the internal SD card is for the Motorola Atrix from Bell.
Thank you.
Quick google search on the terms atrix bell canada specifications
Takes me to the Bell site where i see 16gb - same as the AT&T one.
Google is cool.

You mean the earbuds, right? Yes, they have a mic which you can click to stop, start and fast forward music. I find the button hard to use to fast forward, but they work in general.

Just wanting to know a few things:
1. Do all apps support the "Move to media" option in manage apps, or is it similar to the stock FroYo Move to SD?
2. If I got one I would get it from Mobicity in Brisbane (Google mobicity atrix) would the option under colour saying no physical branding be a Bell Atrix? I have heard they are harder to hack etc. Would it be better knowing I'm getting an AT&T by getting their branding on the phone?
Thanks (Sorry I can't post links, I would, but I'm only new)

I can only answer #1 for ya. No, only certain apps will allow moving to media area (built in /sdcard)
But in reality, I have what I consider a ton of apps installed and still have nearly a gb of phone storage remaining so it's just about a moot point..
Thanks. That's a bit of a let down, but still good. I've got a desire with about 20 apps installed and 15mb free, so anything more than that is awesome!

You won't need to worry about space on the Atrix. At last count I have a total of 452 apps, a couple of gigs of music, pictures, and videos on my internal sdcard, and still have over 5GB of free space.
This isn't the AT&T Atrix which is the MB860.
http://www.mobicity.com.au/motorola-atrix.html
This is the ME860. I believe that's from the Chinese/Asian market.
The following link shows this model as having Android 2.2.1 Chinese as embedded operating system.

According to the Mobicity website, the one I'm looking at is the ME860, but I don't know if that means that if I go the AT&T branding means that I get the MB860. The only advantage I can see from getting the ME860 is the quad-band 3G (I live in Australia so there is one carrier using 850/2100mHz and the rest use 900/2100mHz Dual band 3G), so if I want to change carriers this could be useful.
I might contact Mobicity to find out if the AT&T branding means MB860 and if the ME860 has any Chinese language on it.
So I checked with Mobicity and they said that the website had errors. They are actually selling the MB860 with either AT&T branding or no branding. I asked which rom they ran on each and the AT&T branded one runs the same rom AT&T uses, where the unbranded one uses Moto's stock rom. If they are both the same price which would be better? I don't care about the AT&T logo because it's fairly easy to remove.
I've also seen some people using the AT&T Atrix have "AT&T Atrix" as the carrier when using it with another carrier. Would this occur if I got the AT&T branding?
If you plan on using it with telstra, then you'll have no problems with reception on the AT&T atrix as they use the 3G 850 mhz band. However, if you plan on using vodafone/optus then you won't get 3g in the country/rural areas as they use the 900mhz band. It'd probably be good for you to check the 3g coverage maps if you plan on going with optus/vodafone on the AT&T atrix.
I went against going with mobicity as nobody I talked to had any idea what version of the atrix they're selling. Originally they were selling just the AT&T version but since the telstra version came out they updated their site and were telling me that ALL their versions were quadband, including the AT&T branded one. They were also charging $20 extra for the AT&T version for a while.
I ended up ordering it from gsmnation a few days ago as it was cheaper and I know what I'll be getting. I'm going to be using optus but the AT&T version has better developer support so I figured that was a better incentive rather than rare occasion that I'll actually go visiting a rural area. I was using a tri-band iphone 3g for 3 years before this anyway.
So if you want better support from developers, probably faster updates and you aren't worried about the fact that it doesn't support optus/vodafone in the country then I'd go with the AT&T atrix.
According to them they don't sell the quad-band version (http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=1564501&p=58#r1144), but that doesn't bother me, as I'm looked into Telstra for another 15 months or so. That means the only thing I'm worried about are updates (which as you mentioned the AT&T one would get more and faster) and the support for custom roms down the track (Gingerblur supports this already). So looks like I will go with the AT&T if I get one.
Well luckily I didn't buy it from mobicity then. The person I spoke to said that the atrix was now quadband, even their website showed the same until you alerted them about it. So yeah, I guess that makes the decision a lot easier for you.

Lucky indeed! I have heard that Telstra is selling a quad-band version, although it's hardly selling, more like ripping off at $840 or $59 a month.
Have you got your Atrix? I've heard some people using the AT&T Atrix with another provider get "AT&T Atrix" as the carrier up the top left corner of the screen. Just wondering if this is true or not....
Since Mobicity says ME860 on their website, and they tell you themselves this is wrong and they are selling the MB860, I would definitely verify all the information on any phone you purchase first in :
Settings > About Phone

Will do! Although it doesn't really bother me as I won't be using the added 900mHz frequency anyway. But still, better to get what you ask for!
So if I got the AT&T branded one would app sideloading be disabled, as it it using AT&T's rom? If it is, then how easy is it to enable?

Hi everyone,
I've been reading here on xda for a while now, especially in the GS2 section. I have no idea about unlocking and custom roms and so on, but I need a little bit of help!
I currently own a HTC Aria with ATT (upgrade eligible in Januray 2012) its a nice tiny phone but I need a bigger one, well I've been waiting for the ATT Version to come out but I don't want to pay the hefty ETF FEE and get a new 2 yr contract with ATT.
Should I just get the unlocked version and pop in my sim card from the aria ? Would this work?? I've never had an unlocked version before. Would ATT automatically renew my contract for 2 yrs?
My plan is to get the unlocked GS2 NOW, pop in the sim, and if I get bored with the GS2, I can upgrade to the iphone 5 in january... I don't know if all this is possible.
Thanks in advance for any help!

If you do go Iphone 5 you might try get a micro sim or a micro sim cutter because your existing sim might not fit Iphone. Apologies for the vagueness as I am not sure AT&T sims are full size or Micro size currently.

Moving to Q&A
Thanks for moving the thread in the correct forum.
I'm currently on the 200mb ATT data plan. Do I have to change any settings on the gs2 or will 3g work right out of the box?
Is it possible to switch between edge aNd 3g on the gs2?
Where is the best place to order the gs2? Amazon seems the most expensive but imo is the most reliable one. And no tax for me in CA. Will it come with any warranty from amazon/samsungUS?
Thanks for all the help, the gs2 looks like my dream phone.

I'm also on AT&T and I bought mine from Amazon. Very fast shipping and 3G worked out of the box. However if you want HSPA+ speed you will need to visit AT&T and have them adjust your plan to a 200mb 4G plan. Also you can change your apn settings to get faster speeds. You should check out the APN thread it might help you. Hope I helped

Hi Everyone! How is it going? Well i finally decided for the Motorola Razr instead of Samsung Galaxy S2, i don't care too much about Custom ROMs, Customs Kernels and whatever .. I choosed the Razr because of it's hardware quality desing is better, when i held SGS2 in my hand it felt too light and made with cheap and fragile plastic wich makes me wonder how long would it be alive without crack it or break it.. I read that Razr is more resistant and rugged instead of sgs2.. so i ordered mine, i'm getting it next week. A little detail that worries me a bit is the famous Carrier IQ Software, does it has carrier iq? I'm getting the international GSM Version XT910, not the CDMA version. It worries me because i'd like to use my visa and mastercard credit cards for shopping directly from the phone. Thanks!
Nope. No carrier IQ here. Moto Razr with Verizon.

Is it really what it looks like or it is a bit frustrating and dissapointing.. ? I'm waiting for mine.. Hope it's well made u.u Thanks for your fast replies!

The Verizon version of the phone DOES NOT have CIQ, VZW is the only carrier that doesn't use it. I ran the lookout checker app on my re-unrooted phone with all apps and its not there.
Sent from my NookColor using xda premium
i don't think that Motorola cooperates with Carrier IQ.. none of their devices has CIQ software. at least i guess. haven't seen it on Milestone neither on Flipout and neither on Motorola RAZR (EU version).
if you're not sure anyway, you can easily find out by installing Carrier IQ Detector or if you're advanced with android, you can check by using adb logcat.
Good to know.
Verizon has officially announced that none of their phones have Carrier IQ. So if it's on Verizon, it doesn't have Carrier IQ installed.

Ok so everyone knows that there are going to be a ton of new phones coming out this fall (nexus, DiX) and me and my bro have a few questions:
We both have rezounds and we dont have upgrades:
1. If i got a new phone at the full price would I need to activate it with vzw or would I just need to put my sim card in it? (i know i might need to cut if its a micro sim)
2. Similar question from my brother about an iphone (please dont hate on him he hasnt seen the light...):
if he got an iphone at full price would he have to take it to verizon to get a special nano sim or would he just cut it? I dont know if nano sims are different or not.
Edit:
3. wheres the best place to trade in a rezound?

To answer your question, you would still need to activate whatever phone you got from Verizon. Verizon customer support gives free 4G cards (Slim and non slim). They're actually really cool about that too. Avoid stores now, because they try to charge $10 for a 4G sim card.
Edit: I don't know where a good place to trade in a Rezound would be, but try to sell it on Swappa or CL.

Yes, they make really impressive speaker systems. Not sure why the US never sees the B&O branding on LG phones though. This has been an ongoing trend.
