I see people bitching on different sites about Bionic "only" getting 512MB of memory. Do people realize that it is 512MB of DDR2? that is twice as fast as a 512MB SDRAM!!! DDRs transfer data on the rising and falling edges of the bus clock signal (i.e. why they are Double Data Rates SDRAM). So the 512MB DDR2 on the Bionic is as fast as the 1gig SDRAM on the Atrix!

good try though bobbytaba.

The 1GB SDRAM in the Motorola Atrix is DDR3 which is much faster and lower power than DDR2.

CobraRGuy sorry but you are wrong about the Atrix being DDR3, SDRAM or SINGLE Data Rates is not DDR3 or DOUBLE Data Rates memory, SDRAM is a much slower RAM then the DDR2 somepeoplearestupid (nice name very fitting) is 100% right about this. The DDR2 on the Bionic will actually in a test out preform the 1gb of SDRAM anyday of the week. Also if you read the Bionic post is specifically mentions that is it "desktop" equal ram. Plus I highly doubt that a phone could handle the heat out put 1gb of DDR3 ram. Nice try but no success sorry.

Hello,

OK, I thought I saw that the SDRAM in the Atrix was DDR3... my bad. It is a fact that DDR3 is both faster and lower power than DDR2. If the Atrix has 1GB of DDR2 SDRAM then it could certainly handle 1GB of DDR3 SDRAM. BTW, SDRAM stands for "Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory". It has nothing to do with single data rate clocking. Not all SDRAM is DDR (some older memory is single data rate), but ALL DDR/DDR2/DDR3 IS SDRAM.

I'll Stick with my EvoShift thanks. So glad they offered it in a slightly smaller package. Some screens are getting to big to pocket around.

DDR2 is SDRAM...

I agree about the screen but i'm going with the infuse 4.5 inch screen lol. Atrix with the double ram is more appealing but basically depends on which company ya got. Both are awesome looking phones.

It would be a worthless beast if AT&T is not up to it. (signal-wise, like Verizon)

wow, my cappy is a beast right now with AT&T....you have been reading too much about AT&T and their supposed inferior network - it really is not....

30. archangel9 posted on 11 Jan 2011, 08:54 1 1

i have a Torch and it's a beast too.AT&T network isn't as bad ,it right there w/VZW plus the HSPA+ WE GOT now and the LTE coming in maybe Apr or June,so that's two bands running seamlessly.

See AT&T been working on what they got and improving on it,according to FCC rules.Tmo is the ones that been lying to you. And it will be better as it already is,network/customer support wise.

Don't believe everything you see on TV or read either Dual Core

yeah att has great service, lol my internet goes out every month. but okay then. and theyre coverage area is like half of verizons. i would really hate to have att for a cellular provider. plus att started in Texas and texas is evil.

Signal-wise? Are you serious? Both at&t and verizon are pretty similar in their signal strength. Certain areas may favor certain carriers, but AT&T has been screwed by the Iphone and its horrible antenna. I have an older bold and my girlfriend has an iphone4, and while i receive 4 bars with no dropped calls, she has one bar if she's lucky. The iphone has made at&t a fortune but has also caused them a mass amount of problems as well.

uh, i think the major complaint over ATT's network is due to the huge amount of iPhone user. I was in a building that's capable as a Nuclear Shelter. While both using ATT service, my friend with a blackberry had 2 bars, and I have 0 bar on my iPhone...

You can now pre-order it! I will wait for the Galaxy SII though.

yes... dunno if you can get it in Holland but i heard orange will sell it and also will be sold unlocked

well dude this phone is not even on the market yet, its a release candidate probably, and I don't think you wanna test call quality on something thats not being complete and for sale, now when the device comes out will hear about the call quality details and even see phonearena giving it a review, but from most Motorola smartphones I've heard and had of thats not gonna be a mayor issue.

will see how things turn out when the device is released
