U.S Atrix releases beta Gingerbread update. Bell Soon too?
As the title says. AT&T’s Motorola Atrix 4G beta testers are having their 2.3.X (Gingerbread) update pushed out. This sparks the question; if AT&T is planning a final release, when will Bell be releasing theirs?
I posted not long ago that the Atrix was on sale for free at Bestbuy under a 3-year term, also mentioning that the Atrix Gingerbread update was planned sometimes this summer. ( LINK ) this proves just how close we are to getting our update.
Motorola sent out links to a survey and is looking for 1,000 beta testers for the Gingerbread build. Chances are they’ve already hit that number, and they’re probably not all that happy that we know about it. They sent the following e-mail out to those testers:
You’re receiving this email because you’ve filled out a Motorola Feedback Network survey in the past stating your interest in ATRIX 4G feedback opportunities. As a Motorola Feedback Network member you get advanced notice, like this, of such activities.
We’re getting ready to have a pre-release for Gingerbread (Android 2.3.X) on your AT&T ATRIX 4G. Please fill out the following survey to confirm your interest in this soak opportunity. The first 1,000 applicants will be picked on a first come, first serve basis, provided information is correctly filled out. I know there are some questions that are a repeat, sorry, but there is a reason for that. Please fill it out carefully, honestly and accurately as misinformation can cause this exercise to be unsuccessful. You can edit your survey from the same computer until the survey period closes, though it is advisable to fill it out the first time correctly. Duplicates will be excluded with the newer one used.. Secondly, once the survey period closes we’ll not be able to update your IMEI. Consider carefully before exchanging your device. .
This survey period tentatively ends at 9am 7/18/11 Central time, provided all spots are filled.
In fairness to other Motorola Feedback Network members, do not forward this communication to other parties (websites, individuals, etc). As part of your MFN survey you agreed to keep all MFN activities and notifications confidential. If we find that you have breached this agreement we may elect to remove you. You can always encourage users to sign up for the Motorola Feedback Network so they can be considered for feedback opportunities in the future.
If accepted, you will receive additional notifications via this email when the soak test activities will begin. Do not email or PM me asking if you are accepted or when it will start as I may elect to remove you from the opportunity.
Thanks again for your interest.
So there it is. I know this falls out of the Canadian news as I normally like to post, but I feel the Americans progressing has a large impact on our as well. We all know the U.S. gets most of their stuff first and we follow about a month or two behind. So keep those fingers crossed, surely we are not to far behind.
