Very very very disappointing move from Motorola, first they promised ics update and let the customers wait for several months, but when the time for update came, they simply gave the words.....ohhh no people There's no update for you.....go home n have a sleep....what a Professionaly oriented high ranked company...acting upon ethics and keeping it's promises....bravo Moto.... Motorola Atrix 4g is very capable and powerful device.. it is powered by 1giga hrtz Nividia tegra 2 processor with 1 gig ram...it can very easily and effectively run even the jelly bean...the problem is that the Motorola is just going to be more and more greedy...They want to make more and more money by paying their attention more to making and sellimg new devices...so they just wanted to shed these devices to decrease their burden....but i hope they know that they are also loosing their many of loyal customers with that.....shame on Youuuuuuu motorola....

People should stop complaining. These devices are old. You are better off upgrading to a new phone.

Not without a fight guys...
First, lets all sign a petition to Google release ICS JB to atrix:

Second, lets do the samething to nvidia release the proper kernels, so CyanogenMOD and MIUI can make better firmwares, with the proper libs.

And Last, lets all complain complain and complain in the official motorola forums:

AnonD-73865, 29 Sep 2012Bought state of the art Atrix 4G and lapdock costing a fort... moreGet a grip man! As disappointing news as this may be, does your phone do any less than it did Yesterday? No. Will it stop working overnight because it's not updated? No. Will Gingerbread be supported for the next 12 months or more? Almost certainly.

Abandoning a flagship phone?? Sounds like really bad business practice... the new devices looked promising, but seems you will be lucky to even get JellyBean on them. Better to give your money to their competitors. Motorola just sucks in the software department.

nnnnyuoi89, 29 Sep 2012Motorola will lose customers because of this. I had my Atr... moreYes but you need to understand that the atrix is old, first dual core device made, so probably now Google can't update this because of the chipset and features that Motorola put on their device. Nowadays Thayer won't happen as Google ownes Motorola

Software updates on Android take too much work because of fragmentation in the SoC and graphics chips. Windows Phone 7 is super easy to update to WP7.5, you can even manual update with the cab files from Microsoft server. Since WP8 is running on new Windows NT kernel and multi cores, they won't be upgrade to WP8. It's great that WP8 will offer OTA and guaranteed 18 months of software updates.

After Google purchased Motorola I thought they were going to make all devices "Nexus-like" and they were going to get support for 18 months like they were promising users.
I know that Android 4.0 is a rewritten version (should be named with other name to indicate a major release but with backwards compatibility) but 4.0 have few users and Google should update these handsets to increase and encorage developers to update everything to 4.0+

It's the Bad-dest News for me in this month or year perhaps!
My Atrix will suffer...
yes, I guess it's something with NVidia, so, from now on... I'd say good bye MOTO! Bye TEGRA!
