wow. that's great news! Much cheaper than I thought..I was expecting it to be in the $200-250 range. Now the only question is how much this phone will cost outright (no contract) .....

I'm guessing some of the price will be offset by the actual handset price. I hope but doubt it will be the standard pricing that we are use to, probably $100 more I'm guessing.
Current Daily Device(s) - Galaxy Note 2 - CleanROM 3.3
Backup Device - Galaxy Nexus* - Returned to 100% stock.
Previous Devices - Moto RAZR (xt910), EVO 3D GSM (Super Yellow Screen!, Slow Developing on GSM), 2 HTC Sensations Returned and Refunded (Dust under screen x2, blurry yellow screen, broken vibrator), HTC Desire Z* - Andromadus Mimicry v1.5.0, Galaxy S GT-I9000M SD Failure. iPhone 3GS*, iPhone 2g*, Moto Razr V3...
* Still own.

Price makes sense really considering the laptop dock is just a screen, keyboard and trackpad. No expensive internals to worry about, the Atrix has that covered

Considering the Atrix has enough power to run Windows 7, if they can get it to THAT in the dock, it'll be perfect. And if it can't? Still worth it, I'll totally buy it. As of this moment, I can't see myself buying anything else.

good luck trying to run Windows 7 on an ARM-based CPU.
