I think it said you can get the phone and the laptop dock for $499, so that aint bad.
...
499$ for atrix and laptop dock not bad??
you can get a real netbook for 300$, no freaking phone requires to use!
...
300 for the netbook,
then 100 for the aircard
then $60 a month for the airtime service....
vs
499 for the phone and the dock
$45 a month for the airtime.
...
what planet are you in?
most airports and hotels have wifi, so you dont 100$ for aircard and 60$ a month for data plan.
and when wifi is not available, you can always wifi/bluetooth tether to the netbook.
...
"It should be noted, however, that the bundle only applies if you also sign your name to a Data Pro plan and tethering add-on, so be sure you're down for that monthly hit before committing in haste. Oh, and just in case you simply can't stop spending, the carrier is also offering an Entertainment Access Kit for Atrix 4G customers which includes the Motorola HD Multimedia Dock, a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, and a remote control for $189.99."

I included that info in the article.
...
no way in hell I'd pay $500 (or $400 + tethering) for something like that...
No
Way
In
Hell

So...
How do you feel about this phone? Think you might be interested in buying one?
...
Yes, I'd be interested, but not on March 6th, I'd like to see what the development community can do to this device over at xda-dev first. While not a big fan of off carrier roms, I am of rooting, getting rid of carrier bloat, getting a tether app on that doesn't require me to lose my unlimited plans.
...
i agree with everyone on the pricing. at&t and motorola are a little too proud of this device. be patient guys, when sales are sluggish they'll become a lot more aggressive with their pricing trust me.
...
From the way I read the article. You get the phone and laptop dock for $499. So for $499, not a bad deal at all considering you will be paying $199 for the phone by itself. Mind you the device is geared toward business users so for them it will be more efficient and useful.
...
give it one year, you can get it FREE with 2 years contract!
...
who in the hell wants to wait a year to get the phone. In a year phones become outdated 🤨
