AT&T Says True 4G for Motorola Atrix and HTC Inspire Coming Soon

By Ken Brown

Those of us that have Motorola’s newest toy, the Atrix 4G, love the hardware but have been complaining a bit about the network. More than just drops, it seems that AT&T has been throttling the speed to the Atrix and Inspire making them essentially 3G speeds. AT&T has released a statement that reads in part, “…we have a number of HSUPA devices today and we will have more HSUPA-enabled devices in the future-new devices and updates to existing models.” Speculation is that a firmware update (or two) is on its way so that the devices can deliver 4G HSUPA speeds.

AT&T to Speed Up Atrix and Inspire

We’re hoping that means we’ll see a bunch of firmware updates in the next few months that flip the switch on HSUPA, especially for owners of phones like the Inspire and the Atrix, both of which have a shaky “4G” tacked on to the ends of their names.
