UK Atrix Users to Get Android 2.3 in Coming Weeks
Can anyone else smell Gingerbread?
The Motorola Atrix hasn't been available to UK shoppers for long, but already the device is set to get a major software update. If you've just invested in one and were disappointed to discover that it didn't come with Android 2.3, you'll be pleased to hear that Orange and T-Mobile are testing the update as I type and are preparing for a roll-out in the next few weeks.
First shown off at CES in January, the Atrix packs Nvidia’s Tegra 2 processor and is unique in that it offers an optional laptop docking station that transforms the phone into a notebook. The phone itself sports a 4-inch display (540x960), the 1GHz dual-core Tegra 2 CPU, and 16GB of internal storage (expandable to 48GB via microSD). The docking station adds two USB sports, a full size keyboard and an 11.5-inch display (1366x768). There’s also an option for a multimedia dock that provides 3xUSB 2.0 and HDMI support.
The smartphone first launched in the U.S. on February 22 and Canada followed shortly after with a March 17 launch. Korea's April 3 launch was just a couple of weeks after Canada, and the UK launch was the most recent, on May 4.

Well is been more than a couple of weeks & still STILL no gingerbread news, by the time we gingerbread on the uk Atrix Ice cream Sandwich will be out. Pull your figure out Motorola/Orange/Tmobile
It's almost a couple of months now. it's difficult really to understand why the update that is -- already available in the US / AT and T -- takes months to port it to the similar networks in the UK. I got it sim free -- it shouldn't be difficult to just remove AT-T specific settings and offer us a vanilla version.
