[Atrix 4G General] squarejp:
I came from the following devices before Atrix 4G:

iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, Samsung Captivate, Samsung Focus, and now ATRIX 4G. I still have my Captivate, Focus, and 3GS with me. iPhone 4's Bluetooth was giving me absymal call quality that I can't keep the stupid iPhone 4 even it does have the front facing camera, and very very good picture quality at the back. The IPS screen is no Super AMOLED, colors are very accurate. Super AMOLED has burn-in issue after several months of usage especially if you are in a Skype phone conversation with the screen on while with the bluetooth headset...... I have to click on the sleep button on my captivate.... sucka SUPERAMOLED best color but worse life-span PERIOD!

1. GPS: Atrix and iPhone 4 are excellent and they lock extremely fast and instant regardless of Wifi, 3G cell tower triangulation, or none! Woo hoo. I have Navigon on iPhone so I love it way more than Android's Google Nav or Navigon there coz they are buggy and the vocie app sucks! I do like Android's 3D map but I can do the same with other GPS navi apps on my iPhone

2. Internet Browsing speed/ease:

I like Safari coz of the pintch and zoom performance and the beauty of copy and paste has been doing very well and response than the Atrix. On the Atrix browser, i CANNOT edit this forum while typing this response. It sometimes not allowing me to select and scroll through the text even Attic is imitating Apple with the magnifying glass. Sometimes the magnifying glass never shows up!!!

3. Stability/Speed: Pretty stable so far and pretty snappy over all. Install Launcher Pro or Go Launch Ex and also use Titanium Backup to Freeze MotoBlur if you are thinking Blur is slowing the system down....But I personally like Blur's widget just not the app drawer. Go Launcher EX has the similar UI as the iOS in the app drawer which is a plus when you want to manage your apps such as hold to wiggle the apps and delete them by touching the Minus sign like iOS.

4. Call Quality/Least dropped calls

iPhone 4 call quality is not as good except ear piece. Bluetooth and Speaker phones are.... bad..... the noise cancellation technology on iPhone 4 is not really good... People had hard time hear my voice even I have tried Jawbone Icon, Plantronics, BlueAnt all these highest end bluetooth headsets! Only the earpiece and stupid corded headphone works okay on the iPhone 4

Atrix is also suffering from similar problem especially if there is wind blowing to the top of the microphone.... the wind noise cancellation of the Atrix is not great which Motorola is trying to improve. Fortunately, BLUETOOTH headset call quality is EXCELLENT and that's what I use the most and perfect!!! Speakerphone is pretty good most of the time.

5. Speaker Quality/Volume

iPhone 4 and Atrix both housing the very loud speakers. I love iPhone 4 and Atrix

6. IPS LCD vs Pentile LCD

iPhone 4's LCD color is way more accurate compare to the Pentile LCD used in Atrix. The Color in Atrix such as yellow is greenish lime...... check the demo unit to compare. Use color calibration tables to compare. iPhone 4 is very very very good.

7. OS: ease of use vs high customizable.

I've discovered that Android has a lot of way more like beta to me. People are trying hard to customize the UI just to have fun and increase productivity. iOS right now so far has provided the best experience and Android is a little inferior due to simple Copy and Paste, hold and delete app without accessing Application manager, update all apps at ease (Android requires manually select each app to update automatically), webpage rendering performance iOS is still better than Android for sure. Missing a lot of popular Games from the iOS.

8. Multitouch

iPhone 4: 5 points

Atrix 4G: 2 fingers but hardware could support 5 but should we buy for the potention?

9: HDMI output

iPhone 4 or 5 can do 720P: SMOOOOOOOTH like butter but no specialized 720p interface, just mirroring your iPad2 or iPhone 4's screen to the HDTV. Good for games!!!

Atrix 720P Webtop OS but choppy.....can't truely mirror the image from the phone to the HDTV for games because for some reason the screen is forced to be a touch pad instead of a multitouch gesture control for games such as Samurai II.... you can only move the cursor to control the direction or the attack button... errr VERY DISSAPOINTING

10. VOIP: Skype, Tango, Qik, Fring, etc

iPhone 4: works all the way with Skype support video call on iOS!!!!! perfect!

Atrix 4G: Only Tango, Qik work so far recently. Skype is totally NOT working, people can't hear my voice from the mic due to high amplitude and frequencies noise. Something wrong with the codecs and non standard API that Motorola has used. No video call on Skype on Android Platform.

12. Easy to Hack:

iPhone Jailbreaking has high maintenance in time such as tethering and 3G unrestrictor.

Atrix is pretty easy to root, convert your phone to webtop without buying the dock, and easy to enable Mobile Hotspot Tethering without paying. BUUUUT ENCRYPTED BOOTLOADER.... which Motorla is still deciding... however.... RSD5.0 can flash Atrix now :)

13. BACKUP & RESTORE:

iOS: iTunes simple apps and data backup! It does have it's short coming such as cannot backup data of the deleted apps from the device.

Android: Must NEED ROOT to use Titanium Backup and it doesn't sync well to your computer or your cloud data storage centers. Titanium Backup is again for geeks not your parents and definitely not your grandma! Android has completely failed in this category! Therefore it can't be a serious work phone without the right backup/restore feature.

If you want a device to ease your life and improve work efficiency, get iOS. Android is for geeks and that means Android is definitely a TOY for sure!
