Back in January, AT&T promised to offer its customers a choice of at least 12 Android smartphones during 2011. The company has today exceeded that with an expansion to its Android lineup that sees the introduction of five new devices from Motorola, Samsung, Pantech, and ZTE.

The device that most interests me here is the Motorola Atrix 2. It has a gorgeous 4.3-inch display, a speedy 1GHz dual-core processor, and that awesome laptop dock that means you can get things done while you’re on the move and you don’t need to lug around a heavy notebook.

Do any of AT&T’s new devices catch your eye?
