[Atrix 4G General] s1mpd1ddy:
the one thing i hate most about this phone -

its so f*cking slippery! seriously.. if you have sweaty hands.. good luck holding onto this thing without a case.

other then that ---- the voice quality on phone calls incoming and outgoing is not great, but its also not horrible either --- middle of the pack.

the speaker is very loud, i find using that to talk to people is much easier then holding the phone up to my ear because i can understand people better.

the screen is fine... i like that i can actually see the thing in sunlight.

I've had mine for a little over a month now, I will say that I love this phone.

It is the perfect size for me; big but not too big.

It is FAST

The battery life is better than most smartphones

Camera is OK, it'll pass

ROM selection is growing.

Look and feel are almost HTC like IMHO

Price is spot on!!!
[Atrix 4G General] iOSlulz:
Really enjoyed when I used it. Feels great in hand.
[Atrix 4G General] Rayan:
For me it's been a great phone. And I've used a lot of smartphones under different platforms.

Android for me is rock solid and very nice to tweak and work on.

But the Atrix is a device on a different level thanks to it's Webtop implementation when used along with its accesories, specially the Lapdock, which has allowed me to leave my bulky and heavy laptop at home.

I really recommend you to try it and get some (if not all) of it's accesories. You will not regret it.

I just got mine last week when they were free at Best Buy. I was planning to hold out for the SGS2 but decided free was a wise option to take. My previous phone was the Dell Streak (standard 1ghz snapdragon phone) and we didn't have much in the way of custom roms so I was excited to switch to a phone with a real development community.

I never even booted the phone into the stock rom. My coworkers all have stock moto phones and motoblur is just bad. But running Alien #4 this phone screams and is glitch free. I think it's literally twice as fast as my Streak and am very pleased with my decision to get this phone. The screen is beautiful and the "4g" speeds are a nice little boost over standard 3g (I live in a town of around 175,000 so it's not a major city and data speeds are nice and fast at all times of the day).

Pros:

-Screaming fast

-Lots of accessories

-High resolution screen

-Huge battery

-Lots of internal memory

-Several good roms to choose from

-Gaming

Cons:

-Feels tiny after having the 5" Streak

-Camera is decent but not as good as others

-Can get pretty hot (but is not as hot as some other tegra2 devices I've tried

Here is a doubter who became a believer after the atrix gbread upgrade:

http://www.phonedog.com/videos/motorola-atrix-4g-gingerbread-hands-on/

"With the Gingerbread update, the Motorola Atrix 4G rises to become the best Android handset on AT&T." ....pretty powerful stuff..
[Atrix 4G General] Mister J:
The atrix looks nice but I just wondered about dev support. That's why I got an inspire.
[Atrix 4G General] delewer:
Honest ?

Waiting more

Battery drain problems

No mkv 720p good player exists for moment

Anything else is same than other smartphone
[Atrix 4G General] TheBassman369:
The only thing that the Inspire has that the Atrix doesn't is Sense. There might be 10-15 different Sense ROM's that are identical to each other.

We're getting CM7 and MIUI soon, but even if we weren't, I would never go back to the horrible screen and awful battery life.

I am incredibly satisfied with the Atrix.
[Atrix 4G General] crashingout:
? I think he's spot on, the Lapdock really does extend this thing. It charges it, it will open up Backtrack 5, and most importantly, the nice IPS screen and keyboard change the way I use my Atrix. Now the battery never dies, and my usage paradigm has changed; all my email accounts that I manage with my Atrix I can now write nice long fully fleshed out messages much more conveniently. Using Atrix, plus lapdock, plus multiple email and business accounts, had made my life easier. It's like having a laptop, that has everything and all the contacts/info that your phone has. Imagine if you will, you have an iphone and ipad, but when you use your Ipad instead of it's own OS it tunnels into the iphone for communications, storage, messaging, etc. Apple users would crap a brick if they could get that kind of synergy. We already have it! Lapdock hands down kicks ass, most integrated setup until we see things like the ASUS Padfone coming with ICS this Christmas: they are $200 NEW as of today at some places. $200 for a well built IPS screen, keyboard, phone charger, stereo speaker dock, and a big fat trackpad, mean you aren't getting ripped off.
[Atrix 4G General] crashingout:
I had this problem. I spent 12 bucks and fixed it! I've been using this case for over 4.5 months now, it's wearing great, I've dropped my Atrix 4-5 times easy on unforgiving surfaces, and since this thing IS a battery door, it's slim yet protective; when the Atrix hits the dirt, it usually bounces, this thing is so well protective. So, if you want the slipper seal bullcrap to end, I was always worried about dropping mine til I got this, it's IMHO the best case ever.

http://cnn.cn/shop/motorola-mb860-atrix-blue-silicone-case-p-11666.html

So good I bought two, now both my family's Atrix's are safe and sweet looking!
[Atrix 4G General] pukemon:
Ips my ass. Viewing angles are horrible.

I voided my warranty.
[Atrix 4G General] REAVER117:
I would say the biggest plus is the Webtop, no other manufacturer has anything like it. However the LCD has the pentile lay out so it's a bit fuzzy and can't display yellow properly, viewing angles aren't great either. Also it can't playback most HD formats which is a shame because it has an HDMI port.

If Webtop is a big plus for you go for the Atrix; if you want video playback and a nicer display go Sensation. The Droid 3 is a nice option also and it should have HD playback as it doesn't use Tegra 2.

Full disclosure: I have owned a Dream, Magic, Milestone, Nexus One, Desire, Captivate, Vibrant, Arc, Atrix and Galaxy SII.
[Atrix 4G General] blackalice:
I was just using my Mum's Optimus One, running some apps side by side. The colours on the Optimus kick ten shades of ass out of the Atrix's :/
[Atrix 4G General] crashingout:
I looked at it with high magnification, it looks like IPS. Keep in mind not all IPS are equal, Apple usually goes for the pricy models, the "retina" IPS panel in the IP4 is 15.2% of the manufacturing cost of the device, I'm fairly certain that our lapdock uses an IPS of average quality, the blacks are nice and watching the daily show and netflix on it the colors punch quite nicely.

I should add a caveat however:

I got my first lapdock, a refurbished model, and after enjoying it for a month, subtle but really annoying diagonal lines/bars appear on the lefthand upper third of the screen. Was a ***** to get back to ATT because nobody knew what to do with it, so I got friendly with a local manager and he hooked me up by taking back the messed up refurb and swapping it for a brand new one. We fired up the refurb and the brand new one, and guess what man, the brand new one had better viewing angle and had more even backlighting, running them both side by side.
[Atrix 4G General] TheBassman369:
I was saying "Quote for truth," but I don't know if that question mark was directed at me.
[Atrix 4G General] Deggy:
I'm on my second Atrix. My first Atrix screen broke, tried to repair it, but broke something in the process. I could've gotten any phone I wanted to replace it. My wife was offering to pay full retail for it for my birthday. I went back to the Atrix!
[Atrix 4G General] thegregulator:
Honestly, the only thing I can gripe about is the build quality, and even then it's just a minor complaint. I wish it had more of a Droid X feel to it. I really like the metal back of the Droid X. Other than that, this phone rules, especially with the unlocked bootloader and an abundance of gingerbread roms.
[Atrix 4G General] blackalice:
And people say the battery drain is one of the biggest problems with this phone. I find that on CM7 the battery life is insanely good. Going a day and a half, having played games, used wifi etc.
[Atrix 4G General] pukemon:
I don't doubt its ips but it seemed like you put it out there like it was high quality. I ain't jumping your bones but I don't want somebody to get their hopes/expectations up too high. It is an average screen. No more, no less. I have a couple other minor issues with it but im not the pickiest person in the world and I feel it was worth $200 to me and other people who don't expect this to be a laptop/netbook replacement. Part of that bas to do with magnesium alloy construction. Well supposedly. There is metal. If it weren't for that, it'd be hard to recommend at $150. I hope Motorola or some devs come up with some enhancements/improvements. Supposedly android is emulated on webtop and that is why there is such a performance hit. And chrome would be a better option for the browser if it uses the gpu for hw acceleration like its desktop counterpart. Firefox is starting to show its age. I switched to chrome recently. It sucked until I got privoxy running to skip all the ad server crap. If the same can be done for webtop and android to be run natively or heck even mirrored minus webtop it would be even better.

I voided my warranty.
[Atrix 4G General] ChongoDroid:
I really liked mine when I had it but development was a real *****.. I didn't much like the qhd resolution either but the build quality was good and so was the actual phone. I have a sgs 2 now and much prefer the amoled but the GPS sucks and a few other things but yes I would recommend the atrix.
[Atrix 4G General] lunder:
I like the phone, its fast light and ut has pretty good dev support. I would prefer if it was a bit heavier because it feels a bit cheap
[Atrix 4G General] BravoMotorola:
It sucks awesome!
[Atrix 4G General] crashingout:
hah I thought that stood for "Quit F**king Talking", like you were telling that guy to shut up he's wrong the lapdock sucks. I was like huh?

Funny. Never heard "Quote For Truth" before, just the "Quit Fu**ing Talking", usually used when someone is bringing up malarkey or hogwash.
[Atrix 4G General] crashingout:
Lol now I see what your contention was: I wrote "$200 for a well built IPS screen, keyboard, phone charger...."

The problem was, I was referring to the unit as a WHOLE with the "well built" appellation, which is funny because I completely agree with you. The unit and all of its features are well built, BUT the screen IS average, but the funny way I put the IPS screen as a feature first made it seem like I was saying the SCREEN, not the build quality as a whole, was "well built". I completely agree with you buddy, the screen is average. BUT, for an average screen, topgear looks good on netflix, the daily show's reds and blues look great, I could go on. Would I buy it JUST for the screen? Eh, maybe, but the package as a whole, if it's your workhorse, is pretty damn good value :)
[Atrix 4G General] TheBassman369:
Yeah, man, I would never use language like that. Lol. In hindsight I could see where you would think that--I'm just used to it meaning something different from another forum. Lol
[Atrix 4G General] SolidHelix:
Honestly I think this phone has more potential than most other phones right now. If it's thscreen your worried about, I tried several lately even the sg2 and tho they may be sharper and more vibrant, the sg2 has an awful green shade to every color, it's over saturated and it looks different at every angle. This phone has natural color from any angle. Like I said, this phone has so much potential even just for the ability to hack the webtop makes it so cool. My mom has the sg2 and I put miui on it and the nightly builds of CM7 and its nowhere near as fluid and responsive as my atrix
[Atrix 4G General] Rayan:
You forgot to mention that samoled screens still have the huge burn in problem when used extensively. No matter how good lab reports are, the reality is that they trend to burn in on screen areas with high brightness its always present ie clocks and notification area. So you have to limit your usage if someday you want to sell your sgs2 for a good price.

Been there, done that...

Even though some great phones are coming out I still loooove my Atrix! Cant wait to get some more customization!

[Atrix 4G General] WhyBe:
Gripes about the Atrix:

1) I don't like the rounded edges and back because the phone always slips out of my hand. My squarish SE X1 stayed put.

2) Calendar doesn't have a true alarm (just a notification beep). This is just stupid.

3) Getting a phone call while listening to music through bluetooth breaks everything and I have to reconnect the bluetooth.

4) I can't stream with the browser in the background. If I am streaming from a website and I get a call or check a notification, the streaming gets interuppted and I have to start the stream over.

5) THAT DAMN LOCK SCREEN. I have yet found an app that reliably disables it.

6) Lock screen comes on during a phone call. How stupid.

7) Sometimes the screen does not automatically turn on when I take it away from my face during a call. I have to press power then unlock it. How stupid.

8) The microphone seems to be crappy. I noticed I have to repeat myself during phone conversations a lot more with the Atrix than compared to my TouchPro2 or SE X1. It's as if the Atrix is cutting off some of my words. I've tried all the noise reduction settings too and no help.

9) No phone call recording.

10) Speakerphone not loud enough. This is EVERY phone on th market I think :p

11) Vibration not intense enough. Since Gingerbread, keeps reseting from "Always" to "Only in silent mode".

12) There is no MagiCall app like on Windows Mobile (using Tasker now).

13) Voice recognition sucks (both Vlingo and Google). Voice to text seems like a cool feature, but I spend more time correcting it than using it.

Positives about Atrix:

1) Fast and responsive UI. One of the reasons I bought it.

2) Nice Hi Res screen I can show my photography on.

3) Decent battery life

4) Don't need to reset all the time.

I'm getting a keyboard based Nokia/MS phone next.
[Atrix 4G General] iRobby:
Get widget locker

I set my alarms in the alarm and timer app :p

There are proximity sensor tweaks that make the screen turn on faster when you take the phone away from your face.

If I can id suggest flashing a different rom ;)
[Atrix 4G General] ccrows:
^ "No lock" IMHO does a good job on ANY Android phone... :)
[Atrix 4G General] WhyBe:
This is fine for "tomorrow" appointments. But what about appointments months away?

I used to burn ROM for WM all the time...I'm sick of the endless routine of updating. I shouldn't have to change ROM to address these issues anyhow.
[Atrix 4G General] ChongoDroid:
I dunno what phone your mom had but I own both phones and their is nothing on earth more fluid then these two phones. Sorry but the viewing angles do not change the colors on an amoled screen and quite honest I prefer the sgs screen as far as colour and viewing angles.. I liked the qhd for reading tho.

Any of you care to elaborate so I can take your responses seriously?

[Atrix 4G General] Rickroller:
Have you tried a different Calendar? I use Jorte..and I can set appointments months/years away..

I've NEVER had a lockscreen come on during a call..Yes..I have to swipe to answer..but that's with any phone :confused:

As was mentioned..you can adjust things in the build.prop file to change your screen on/off times. No need for custom roms to accomplish this..
[Atrix 4G General] pukemon:
Do we really need to tell you how to do the most basic things on your phone? See that 4 square button next to your other 3 buttons? That will help alleviate some of your NON issues. I'd tell you to Rtfm but many phones do not come with one these days and android is very similar across all phones.

I voided my warranty.
[Atrix 4G General] Phoneguy589:
I honestly think the operating system isnt meant for this phone. CM7 should make it better. The,iphone runs smoother but iOS 4 isnt running on an lg and a samsung and a motorola and a HTC. I hope google makes the atrix os and keeps it. They could make this phone so much more desireable if they optimize the os , stay with the design and enhance it each year like the iphone. More companies would make stuff for our phones if the phone stayed around long enough. Imagine the phone as you car radio dock and screen, our home entertainment system and remote via bluetooth.
[Atrix 4G General] Rayan:
Well, you don't have to imagine this!... This is how I use my Atrix since day one!

Also define "optimized", because even Froyo runs like butter on my Atrix, now Gingerbread even better! Also, Google has been improving the OS ever since they started! Expect an even better OS with IceCream Sandwitch, which will be better suited for multi-core systems like ours!

I know iOS feels a bit more fluid, but is not that iOS is more "optimized" than Android, its more because iOS is not a true multitasking beast as Android is.

In my book, a true multitasking OS is better for my needs.

Cheers!

[Atrix 4G General] Phoneguy589:
Wish I could agree but Android wasn't made for the Atrix, but modified for it. iOS was made specifically for the iPhone. Froyo or gingerbread weren't made specifically for the Atrix so the way pinch to zoom or scrolling appears choppy compared to the iPhone. I love the Atrix but hope it becomes more of a focus point rather than just another phone. I've never seen an alarm clock dock or a Bose stereo for the atrix... No car USB integration.
[Atrix 4G General] Rayan:
Oh, I see what you mean... That's called fragmentation and it's debateable imho...

I rater have freedom of choice (device-wise) than being stuck on the same old same old.

I see it more like Windows or Linux OSses, you have a single OS for multiple kinds of computers. It's up to the device makers to come up with drivers and optimizations and yes, sometimes they don't do too good of a job in that. But as long as Android stays open, I see no big deal with that.

Actually, no one knows about the future of Android OS after purchasing Motorola. Some dare to spaculate that Antroid will eventually become closed and Motorola-centrc, HTC will be using a proprietary SENSE type of OS, and Samsung will do the same with a proprietary OS, the rest will be Windows Phones (including Nokias of course) and iOS.

I honestly wish Android will stay open and fragmented!

But that's another topic, so let's move on the subjetct... :)
[Atrix 4G General] Phoneguy589:
Its like playstation or xbox... They update the systems but the hardware stays the same. I think in time the os will be able to auto configure itself and optimize itself to the device. Would I switch back to the iPhone, not unless they go 4g and add flash player. I like open source but I had a jailbroken iPhone 4, plenty of developers for the iPhone, wish we had as many just for the Atrix lol :-)
[Atrix 4G General] Rayan:
I get your point, but in that case iPhone has basically remain the same hardware since the begining, increasing only minor features on each new iphone generation like they where 'innovations" (yet another topic) :) ... but if you know about jailbreaking and stuff, why complain about the Atrix?, it might not be perfect on stock firmware, but once you start tweaking and finding the best ROM, Baseband and Kernel combination, you will find it very pleasant and smooth as butter.

But hey, as I said before... I'm just saying!!! :)

Cheers!

No offense but if you need an iClock or an iStereo, then Android probably isn't the OS for you and you would probably be better off with Apple.

Android is about customization, Apple is a different world controlled by Steve. Go with whatever suits you best...

LOL.... What a bunch of flamers. I posted my HONEST opinion...that's the thread.... NOT let's flame someone that mentions the "i" word. I am somewhat disappointed that with a lapdock and all of the Android devices, I'm stuck controlling my music in my Cadillac with my phone in my hand rather than seeing it displayed onscreen and changing trcks from my steering wheel. I pay for apps like I did before and I've supported a couple devs so far here, but I'm not starting a flaming war. You can say what you want about "i" whatever, but the point is "MY HONEST OPINION" and it's a fact not even an opinion. Great, I can theme the heck out of my Atrix but you can customize a lot of smartphones, even the "i" device :D That's why there are devs and people who support what they have. I support here and contribute here to help - not to flame.
[Atrix 4G General] Note_E:
Your honest "opinion" is a fact? Get the vehicle dock, plug it into your AUX port in the back of your Alpine headunit and feel the magic that is not iCrap. Fyi Jobs resigned today.

Can you control it from your steering wheel and see the playlist on the LCD screen? Fact. I can play video to my headrests and factory touchscreen LCD via 1.5mm jack. Fact. ;)

People please stop flaming....I made my post to the OP letting that person know how I felt. We "In the US" are stuck with AT&T and there aren't many choices so if the OP has an iPhone, I am being honest. I see the devs that make things happen here and I appreciate them to the fullest cause I can't do what they do, and I plan to contribute to them all.
