From a recent study conducted by Portaltech and eDigitalResearch, it found that half of all smart phone users have used their phones to shop. 11% of users admit to making a purchase from their phone once a week. When online shopping first became available, consumers were amazed at how convenient it was to shop using a computer. Most people believed that online shopping wouldn’t be standardized like this. These days, consumers can shop right from their smart phone. Atrix users can shop for electronics, apparel, and Motorola Atrix accessories anytime they have a few extra minutes, no matter where they are.

When a user shops with the ATRIX, the user must learn how to protect their personal information. If a person spends a lot of time shopping from their phone, they may want to invest in a mirrored Motorola Atrix screen protector to keep their personal information safe from onlookers. Users should have to realize that on a public Wi-Fi network it’s very easy to steal information on a public network. To take extra precautionary measures, users should also look into double checking the URLs. Before making a purchase anywhere on the site, make sure that the URL is spelled correctly and starts with “HTTPS://.” This would mean that the URL is secure and so is your transaction.

Users that like to shop on their Atrix needs to take special physical care of their phone. Arm the phone with a good Motorola Atrix case and lock it with a difficult password. Users should also update their software anytime they are prompted, since this will keep the phone protected from new security threats. Security software can be easily upgraded on the ATRIX. This software will prevent malware from making its way onto a user’s phone.

Once the ATRIX is secure and ready for use, consumers may want to look into certain applications to improve their shopping experience. Retailers, like Amazon, Overstock, Newegg, HSN, Walgreens, Target, Famous Footwear, Kmart, JCPenny, and Office Max have their own apps that shoppers can use. Many of these applications allow users a very simple and safe way to shop. Many of these apps will even save a user’s payment and shipping information. This helps shoppers checkout without taking their credit or debit card out in public. The downside is that few imitators have developed similar applications to steal user information. For this reason, Atrix users need to determine who created the app before storing any person information. Applications offered through 3rd parties should be avoided at all costs.

The Motorola ATRIX can help online shoppers find good deals. Users that want to save money may benefit from installing certain apps. As one example, TheFind application can be used to find great deals and coupon codes. TheFind will help users compare prices offered by many thousands of retailers. NextTag Mobile is a great helpful application that helps shopping on the Atrix. This app helps users search for deals and then complete their purchase directly from the app. Bargain shoppers will also appreciate that the app includes the price of shipping when searching for products, instead of unpleasantly surprising customers at checkout. Using these apps, while taking the right security precautions, will help shoppers get the most from their online shopping experience.
