OK, maybe I am just too geeked about this phone, but I figured we should put a wish list up for those of us that cannot stop drooling over this device.
I know the Atrix has a decent size battery, but I am often without a charger and the more juice I have is the better. SO...
I wish Mophie would make a Juice Pack case for the Atrix 4G. They make some of the best extended battery cases for iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad I have ever used. The quality and extra battery life they have brought my iPhones has been unparalleled by anything else I have ever used. It would be sweet to have something like this for the Atrix.
A battery pack would be awesome; I can't really think of anything better though.

and a cheaper multimedia dock (aka just a $20 charging station /w USB hub and hdmi adapter).
Coming from an old Tilt with hardware keyboard, I'd also like to see a portable mini-keyboard to connect to the Atrix - wired or wireless. Something like the foldable iGo Stowaway Keyboard would be nice, but that one appears to be discontinued.
Really what would be ideal would be some sort of usb-like add-on that clips onto the phone and gives it an optional phone-sized keyboard for those times that it's useful - and can be left in a bag otherwise.
I sometimes take notes on my phone, and I don't see touch-screen tapping being as convenient as a physical keyboard (even if it's miniature). The laptop dock is a neat idea ... but even if it wasn't overpriced, all you really need is a tiny keyboard to take notes, which is a lot easier to carry around than a full-sized (pseudo) laptop for times you don't expect to need it.
I'd like to see a better battery an a Bluetooth keyboard case - similar to the Keyboard Buddy for the iPhone.
a game controller like the ones they have for the iphone
I looked, but didn't see a thread for this. But you can get 50% off Motorola Accessories if you feel this out - Simple and quick.

They posted it on their Facebook wall.
Or you may just need this code w/o having to fill it out: XOOMAC50
HOT - thanks!
Too bad the speaker dock is over priced (compared to Amazon). After tax, shipping, and 50% off, it comes out to $73.28.

Too bad they don't have the keyboard case either. Makes me wish THAT was a motorola product.
I was also confused about the shipping since when you add the item to the cart it says you can get free two day shipping and to select that option at checkout, but it still charges you for it.
cool, still worked, but not many accessories. Such as car charger, other gel case colors, etc. But otherwise I will try at a STD dock to hack and a keyboard for that price.

I was hoping for that too. But I just went with the original keyboard instead. They also have 50% off bluetooth accessories.
Just ordered the keyboard.
too bad US only
YUP US only ..........along with 3.1 update, customer support. Even amazon market excludes non US. Yup motorola only interested in US customers as far as I can see. Infact activly excluding the rest of the world. GREAT model for a business. They dont let you know this when you buy thier products.
Awesome deal!

really ? How can you get that price cause original price for:
keyboard = $70
speaker dock = $130
car charger = $ 30
camera kit = $20
=> total is $250 - 50% off = $125 ( not include tax yet)
they take off an extra 50.00 because the keyboard is a bluetooth accessory

thank for pointing that out, this deal is almost 75% off . order mine too
Wow, pretty nice deal. I want another AC adapter so I went to see how much it would be. Check this out:
$29.99 adapter
-$15.00 coupon XOOMAC50
+ $4.00 shipping
+ $1.33 tax
---------
$20.32 total
Now, if I just go to Amazon and look for the same product I can get it for:
$15.99 adapter
$4.48 shipping
---------
$20.47 total
... almost the same price. Too bad the coupon code wouldn't work on that one.
I looked around to find out more about the "Camera Kit Adapter". From what I can tell, this is an OTG cable and as long as you have Honeycomb 3.1, you can use it to connect a mouse, keyboard or game controller to your Xoom. However, you will not be able to connect a USB flash drive because the USB Host interface does not have the software support for USB-keys. A rooted Xoom with a custom kernel (I assume... but maybe custom ROM too?) may be able to support flash drives. Motorola may also add it in at a later date too.
Can anyone confirm or deny any of this?
I ordered an OTG cable from eBay, but of course it will be a few weeks before I see it, so I was thinking about ordering this too.

I currently use a flash drive on my Xoom. I'm using a custom Tiamet kernel and I'm rooted. It works awesome. I carry my Music and N64 ROM's.
Anyone know how the additional $50 off promotion works? I can only get it to work with the keyboard, but I already have one (which I dont need anymore anyway since I got the verizon folio keyboard case). I tried a set of bluetooth headphones, thinking it might be a "bluetooth" deal, but it didn't work.

Yeah, that's a feature of Tiamat: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=978013
Sounds like it's time my xoom became a man. Time to root..
Awesome deal at Motorola today.
Retail value is $69.99 for the keyboard and $29.99 for the mouse, so saving $60 here. I already have a keyboard/logitech mouse so I can't really take advantage of it but I hope someone here can enjoy it!
Thanks! Been eyeballing bt keyboards, that worked out great. 48 shipped to CA.
Cheers, Rob

Ordered this too. Wow, I'm spoiling my new XOOM. Bought the HD speaker dock, an extra travel charger, a car charger, a sleeve and a car mount.
Great keyboard
I saw that deal a couple weeks ago. The keyboard is solid and works fantastic. The mouse is also a nice addition if you plan on doing any typing (for selecting text and inserting cursor).
The only problem I have had is that the mouse does not auto connect. It could be an issue on just by end, but I have to go into settings on my Xoom and manually reconnect to the mouse. Otherwise, everything works fantastic!

Thanks again OP for pointing out the awesome deal

I got a call from Motorola today apologizing for misplacing my order. Asked if I was still interested in having them fulfill it. Very apologetic. I said if you really want to make it up to me then throw a camera connection kit in the box for my trouble.

I saw this and I thought it was great value until I got to the point where I discovered that they won't ship to the UK and the UK shop was still charging £60 (that's about $92) just for the keyboard and wasn't selling the mouse at all.
That didn't look such good value so my money has stayed in my pocket.
got mine today
Paired up really nice and seem to work well. A lot easier to type on this than the screen. Thanks OP for the heads up on this great deal.
Got mine today and they both paired up and work great on EOS ICS. I'm surprised how much they improve the Xoom "experience" (for lack of a better word).
The keyboard is a little bigger than I was expecting but very slim and portable.
Perfect
The keyboard is perfect. I never realized how nice a mouse would be when editing a paragraph or a word document.
If you do buy it, Targus has a great case that I have seen at Target/Walmart/Best Buy that fits the keyboard, mouse, and Xoom perfectly. Just look where they have cases for netbooks.

I use this messenger bag for all of my stuff (I think its the one you're talking about).
Inside I have my Xoom, keyboard, mouse, spare charger, Hdmi cable, microUsb cable w/ optional wall plug in, pens/pencils, stylus, 3 in 1 pen/laser/4gb thumb drive, OTG usb adapter, microSD card adapter and a small notepad.
Awesome bag for $30. Found mine at radioshack but I've seen it at the stores you listed as well.
anyone know of a keyboard compatible with our phones?
I've been thinking about buying one and trying it out. just something to take out while in the library to type whatever comes to mind on my phone.
I have the lapdock already but was thinking of trying a keyboard out.
I've seen a lot of bluetooth keyboards available; however, I was wondering if anyone had any hands on experience with any.
thanks in advance.
I found this by searching for "mini bluetooth keyboard" on Amazon.com:
http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Blue...6?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1325032277&sr=1-6
I've seen this one in use. It seems to be pretty good. I do not own one, however.

I have this keyboard and used it with the Atrix. It works well and has pretty solid construction. Actually selling it now since I am not using it a lot.

Is this too pricey?
Motorola Atrix Keyboard: http://goo.gl/kQD2q
I picked up this recently, not exclusively for the atrix... Unless atrix accessories have something I can't get elsewhere (e.g., lapdock or car dock), I'm gonna get what works best for me now and for my next device(s)...

holy crap that's awesome. might just buy that. any ideas when the sale is good until?
All options seem to have a huge lip of leather coming off the bottom portion right under the touchpad, or need a kickstand for support which is not practical on your lap.
Any suggestions?
I bought a Motorola KZ-450 combo keyboard/trackpad that's got a protective cover that turns into a stand about two years ago on one of those "Deal A Day" sites for $30 or $45. I keep it in one of those generic cloth 10" tablet pouches along with my Note.
My only regret with it? Not buying two at that price- it's been pretty much perfect for me, and I use it to bang out E-mails when I'm flying.
Any other options out there with a trackpad? The motorola doesn't seem to be available in the UK
Been looking for something similar myself.
All I've been able to find are touchpad based solutions...not that practical
I was looking for the same until I ordered this today: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I describe why that one won out of the 100s of keyboards I was checking for certain features (priority, quick switch, multi-device pairing, lower priority, trackpad). Not only does it have both of those, but also a built in IR (learning) remote! Check out my post in the other keyboard topic on this page, where I describe it a bit more. Hope that one appeals to you!
Bad link
My bad, thanks for letting me know http://www.amazon.com/Ultrathin-Wireless-Bluetooth-Programmable-Rechargeable/dp/B00EZL1N6U
what about this one?

sorry for the bump but... does k410 works via bluetooth ot you use the USB dongle with a cable?

I wasn't part of this thread, but I hvae used logitech products with my android devices that were meant for windows. I have my Trackball M570 and one of my wireless K800 keyboard both connected to the same wireless dongle. When I want to use them with my Note 10.1 2014, I plug wireless receiver dongle into an adapter, like this OTG cable: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GM0OZ4O/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
So, it connects wirelessly as it would to the pc, not via bluetooth.
Only other thing to note is, the apps Logitech has for Android keyboards will not work with things like the k800.
There are miniaturized keyboards with touch pads and often a remote control on the other side for smart tvs. But these are wifi based, maybe additionally with bluetooth. Or there's some wireless remote(the wifi ,not IR kind) or wifi keyboard driver/app for Android.
I found this one
http://www.amazon.it/LEICKE®-Sharon...kmr0&keywords=tastiera+touchpad+note+10.1+014
It's very cool, but they don't sell a version with Italian layout (And the keyboard is not attached to the cover, but you can fix it with some glue XD)
Do you know something similar sold with different layouts?
