Sweet Jesus . AT&T is adding five new Android phones to their portfolio this week . That will bring them up to 19 Android devices in for 2011 . The ‘ droid is strong with this one .
Here they are in parliamentary procedure that you probably manage about them :
The Motorola Atrix 2
When the original Morola Atrix wasannounced at CESback in January it had as holler it the best Android phone in the show . It was a existent beefcake , and it could power a laptop dock ( which we thought was coolheaded for like five minute ) . It really was an excellent telephone set ( full review ) . Truth be severalize , the Atrix 2 is n’t the most monumental upgrade we can see . The biggest departure is that it has AT&T ’s answer to 4 G ( HSPA+ ) which should give you theoretic download fastness of 21Mbps . It ’s no LTE , but it ’s significantly faster than 3G. It ’s camera has blend from 5 megapixels to 8 megapixels , and it ’s now able of commemorate 1080p HD video . And the screen has been stretched to 4.3 inches from the original Atrix ’s 4 inches . While more screen real land is expert , they both have 960×540 pixel , which means pixel denseness will actually be worse on the novel bigger screen . Hrmm … that sound a spate like the covert on theDroid Bionic , which we were none too bully on .

UPDATE : The Atrix 2 will only cost $ 99 on contract . I was expecting them to bear down $ 199 and then cue my righteous indignation , but for a hundred bucks … That make this is a better than mid - range phone for a mid - orbit price - ticket . Not sorry at all .
The Samsung Captivate Glide
Not content to letVerizon have all the Samsung QWERTY keyboardfun today , AT&T make for to the mesa the Samsung Captivate Glide , a sequel toAT&T ’s first serious Android phone . It ’s a 4 G ( HSPA+ ) sound with a 4 - inch Super AMOLED screen , and a slideway - out keyboard . The kicker with this one is that it has a dual - core 1GHz NVIDIA Tegra 2 CPU , to Verizon ’s phone ’s ( theStratosphere ) just has a exclusive - core 1GHz Hummingbird mainframe . I ’ll take two cores over one every day , however , poise out the scorecard is the keyboard on the Stratosphere take care way more operational ( five rows of keys vs. four on the Captivate Glide ) and Verizon ’s 4 grand LTE is fast than AT&T ’s 4 thousand HSPA+ .

AT&T Avail
This telephone is significant because it ’s only the second Android phone to be available on GoPhone , AT&T ’s pre - paid connection ( the first being theLG Thrive ) . For a pre - pare ( which are grim - last , by definition , basically ) the AT&T Avail ( made by ZTE ) ai n’t spoilt . It ’s have a 3.5 - column inch touch concealment , 5- megapixel camera and runs on Android 2.3 ( Gingerbread ) . No mention of processor speed , but if I were a betting man I ’d gamble on … 800MHz . We ’ll update when we know for certain . I will say that this look like it ’s the nicest pre - paid phone you’re able to get on GoPhone .
Now , here ’s where the earpiece start slowly devolve into weirdness .
Pantech Pocket
“ Fat boy on a diet , do n’t try it . I ’ll ascertain your ass like a pillager in a riot . ” -Cypress Hill . So , here ’s an unpaired duck . The Pantech Pocket has a 4 - in screen and it ’s pretty slim from back - to - front at only 11.3 millimeters . But find out out the width on this affair . Sucker is wiiide . That aside , it ’s a middling decent mid - range sound with 4 G financial backing , 5MP camera , and Android 2.3 ( Gingerbread ) . Again , no reference of processor here , so I ’d bet on 800MHz . Maybe 1GHz .
Samsung DoubleTime
I bet this poor phone got teased in high-pitched school day . It ’s kind of a wimpy nutcase . Whereas the Pantech Pocket was across-the-board , the DoubleTime is thick . That ’s because it has not one but two screens ( both humbled - resolution 3.2 - inch touch screens ) , and a clam - shell fold - out keyboard . It ’s come a 600MHz central processor , a waifish 260 megabyte of RAM , and it runs Android 2.2 ( Froyo ) . This phone would have been awesome two - and - a - half geezerhood ago , but it ’s reasonably terrible by today ’s standards . It ’s also got a portion of pink on it . Basically , this is a laud feature phone aimed at high school girls . There , I said it .
These monkeys should all be out of their respective barrels by Q4 . Who ’s excited about what ?
