Motorola began shipping its new Atrix 2 smartphone to wireless carriers in selected markets such as New Zealand, Singapore and Thailand this month. Even better, the Atrix 2 is currently available in the U.S. through AT&T, a Motorola Mobility spokesperson said Friday.
Priced at $ 99.99 for customers signing up for a two-year service contract, AT&T’s Atrix 2 smartphone can double as a mobile entertainment center for road warriors and globe-trotting business executives — even as it delivers a range of business security and productivity features.
On the enterprise side, for example, the Atrix 2 offers data encryption on both the device and the SD card. Other business-class features include PIN lock, password protection and inactivity timeouts.
What’s more, IT departments also gain the ability to wipe the phone remotely if lost or stolen. Additionally, AT&T’s enhanced Internet Protocol virtual private network, or IP VPN, provides business users with corporate access across multiple IP-based infrastructures in more than 60 countries.
The Atrix 2 is currently powered by Google’s Android 2.3 platform, also known as Gingerbread. However, Motorola Mobility plans to deliver “Ice Cream Sandwich” Android 4.0 upgrades to Atrix 2 users based in the United States, Latin America, Asia-Pacific and other selected markets beginning in the third quarter of 2012.
