Motorola Atrix MB860 4G 16 GB, Factory Refurbished, AT&T variant, GSM unlocked
Factory refurbished Motorola Atrix MB860 4G, 16 GB, AT&T variant, GSM unlocked and reconditioned to close-to-new working order. This is the listing the dock and model-number searches land on, and refurbished pricing suits parts dealers, enthusiasts restoring a webtop setup, and productions that need a working 2011 Android for a scene.
The Motorola Atrix 4G, model MB860, was AT&T's early-2011 flagship and one of the first dual-core Android phones: a 1 GHz dual-core processor, a 4-inch qHD 960 x 540 display under Gorilla Glass, 16 GB of storage with a microSD slot for 32 GB more, a 5 MP rear camera and front camera for video calls, a fingerprint reader in the power key, and Motorola's webtop mode that ran a desktop Firefox browser from an optional laptop or multimedia dock. It shipped on Android 2.2 with MOTOBLUR and runs on AT&T's HSPA+ network, which AT&T marketed as 4G.
Collectors, prop houses, and parts dealers buy the Atrix from TG Wireless as a landmark Android design; the dock accessories and model number still draw search traffic.

Condition: Factory Refurbished
Factory refurbished units have been reconditioned to close-to-new working order. They are not brand new and may show light signs of handling. TG tests and grades each unit before it ships. Tell your account manager whether you need units with the original box and accessories or handset-only packs; the mix varies by lot.
Network and compatibility
The Atrix 4G is a 2G GSM and 3G HSPA+ (sold as 4G, but not LTE) phone with no LTE radio, so it gets no voice or data service on any US carrier: AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon retired 3G in 2022 and T-Mobile closed its 2G GSM network on August 3, 2026. See the network status line in the table for the lock state. Realistic uses are export to markets where GSM or UMTS service is still live, collectors and enthusiasts, film and TV props, parts and display units, and Wi-Fi use within the limits of Android 2.3.
Resale fit
- Collectors of early dual-core Android flagships and Motorola webtop hardware.
- Film, TV, and photo productions needing a correct 2011 AT&T smartphone.
- Parts and display stock for MB860 screens, batteries, and dock-compatible units.
- Export to markets where GSM or UMTS service remains live.
