LAPTOP Magazine has taken Motorola Photon 4G Android smartphone with Motoblur destined for Sprint, for a spin. I think I like what I see and the dual-core Nvidia Tegra processor has a lot to do with the snappiness I guess. The 4.3" qHD display, 8MP camera with dual Flash all supported by 1GB RAM and 16GB storage.

Motorola Photon 4G can also docked on to optional multimedia dock, similar to Atrix 4G.

Motorola Atrix 4G Tear Down By iFixit, Neat!

Motorola Atrix 4G Tear Down http://snapvoip.blogspot.com/

Being  the most powerful smartphone on the market, the Motorola Atrix 4G will be the talk of the town for a while. Rooters have rooted the Atrix 4G and others are doing different things ti it but iFixit has done the most interesting, next to the rooting the phone and giving me a chance to laugh at AT&T, tear down the phone! Wish my boss gave me such a job.
As it stands, the Atrix boasts some impressive technical specs:

• 1 GHz Cortex-A9 Dual-Core [!] Processor
• 8 core ULP (ultra-low power) GeForce GPU
• 4" qHD (Quarter High Definition) Display (960x540) protected by a Gorilla Glass front panel
• 16 GB onboard memory, with up to 32 GB SD storage
• 5 MP Rear-facing camera with 720p video capture and VGA Front-facing camera
  

So iFixit 15 step trouble was to find out if the mighty phone put together right and most importantly if it is repairable; they gave;;

Motorola Atrix 4G Repairability Score: 9 out of 10 (10 is easiest to repair)

• The LCD is separable from the glass front panel, making them independently replaceable.
• The phone is held together with a limited number of screws and plastic clips. Adhesive is minimally used in its construction.
• The battery can be removed in seconds.
• No tools necessary for changing the SIM and microSD cards.
• The phone feels solid in the hand, but the plastic rear panel is a little chintzy (that's right, chintzy).
• The two main ribbon cables are soldered to many components (cameras, proximity sensors, etc.), making the cables costly to replace.

Motorola Atrix 4G Root How To,

Motorola Atrix 4G Rooted And How To http://snapvoip.blogspot.com/
Motorola Atrix 4G was rooted by the well-known AT&T developer designgears along with Getaphixx.
Gaining root access on allows one to remove bloatware taking up precious memory space, customize the device to heart's content, and poke around in the internal system. But the best part or the bonus is that one is able to use backup tools and backup the device.
Thanks to these people now, Atrix 4G users will be able to take full control of the device they paid for with their hard earned cash from the launch day.
AT&T has restricted Application sideloading on the bunch of Android devices AT&T released. Thanks to Root privileges, one will also be able to enable app sideloading!.

As always exercise care when you mess around with devices and firmware. Briefmobile, where the process is listed says the process is SAFE. If you find the development by these developers helpful (it is helpful otherwise you will be AT&T's dog, like iPhone dudes),  You can donate to designgears for his work here. Also, make sure to throw Getaphixx donations for his device and his work on the root process.
