The Motorola Atrix 4G has gone through a lot of ups and downs since its release on February 22nd of this year. AT&T released this dual-core phone claiming that it is the fastest and most powerful phone in the market. However, Atrix 4G owners quickly found out later that their devices came with a signed bootloader and also with HSUPA disabled which stirred up a lot of noise within the Android community until Motorola and AT&T decided to address the poor upload speeds issue with the 4.1.83 update not too long ago.

Apparently, Moto and AT&T are planning on releasing Gingerbread for the Atrix 4G in between June and July. The Motorola dual-core phone will have its current Android OS version changing from 2.2.2 to 2.3.3 and then to 2.3.4 sometimes after that which confirms what Andrew Morley, Motorola’s VP on International Marketing, claimed during the UK launch of the Atrix 4G.

Our friends at BriefMobile have gotten their hands on an Atrix running on Android 2.3.3 and they confirmed that this update does indeed enable sideloading on the device, finally! You will be able to sideload without rooting or the use of the SWM. Other notable enhancements will be an updated keyboard, an updated Blur UI, improved camera and better power management. The only thing left to sweeten the Atrix 4G experience would be for Motorola to finally unlock its bootloader and we will be good to go!
