Unhappy Atrix 2 lapdock

http://www.talkandroid.com/66295-mot...print-and-att/

the article says enough, it said i buy phones too soon and am never going to be happy with what I have, i hope with ICS we can can have a possibility for the Atrix 1 to use this, not that i even care because i bought the old one already, or the fact that i sold myself on prime, frankly i want to take a 2 year coma and come back when i can make a decision.

Even if we do get ICS, and I'm confident we will in some form, it's still unlikely we can use this new lapdock.

Moto changed the ports on the Bionic, Photon, and Atrix 2. They're upside down, basically.

Case in point...

Atrix...


Bionic...


Unless someone comes up with another adapter to reverse this, I doubt we'll be able to use any of the new accessories.

Default making an adapter

It doesn't look too hard to make an adapter so that it would fit the Atrix, but the real issue is how the Atrix 2 and bionic recognize that they are plugged into the laptop dock. If it's the same method as the atrix, it's probably doable.

I think this as well. will there be enough of a demand though? the price of the ATRIX 2 is 99. im sure amazon will have it free in a month

Looks no good compared with Atrix 4G Lapdock.

Flipping the ports is ****ed up. Hopefully it at least results in the the first gen lapdocks being dumped on the market.

sometimes a market probes like atrix1 & original lapdock are better build than successors.. with all updates, bugfixes and polishings, manufacturer is also aiming to make some savings.

the new lapdock simply looks like that some 'savings' has been made.
still would go for original lapdock if i can find it for $100-150

If you look at the picture of the new laptop dock, you can see that the connector is basically a chord that connects to the phone. You can just flip the chord or your phone and it should work.

+1. I can't believe that nobody else noticed this before posting comments about the new lapdock 100.

If you flipped the chord or the phone, the ports on either would be upside down unlike the other object.
