Motorola Atrix - Any users?
Hi Guys
Any Atrix users here? Looking at this as my iphone replacement. Slightly more expensive monthly but the cashback makes it worth it. Is this phone worth it though? |

It looks really nice. I have no idea if it comes with the out and out smugness if you put it through the x-ray machine and it looks like a cray supercomputer on the screen though.
I do know that many have shown a preference to the Galaxy S2 though and it is partly due to Motorola not showing much care towards British users. Many are still smarting at Motorola's u-turn on updating certain handsets with the newer version of Android. Probably best just to run a side by side comparison. http://www.techradar.com/news/phone-...imus-3d-934907 |

I have an Atrix… it’s a very impressive piece of kit. The WebTop function definitely makes it unique - you can connect the phone to your TV via a docking station (sold separately, although I got mine free from Orange when I upgraded) and use it like a normal computer or media centre on the big screen.
Battery life is very good; I easily get 2 days out of it. I’d say I’m probably an average user, with a few calls a day and numerous texts etc. I don’t use any social networking services so I guess that probably saves a fair chunk of battery power. I don’t know how it compares to an iPhone as I’ve never owned one but it certainly has everything you would expect from a modern Smartphone, and more. One thing I personally don’t like about it though is Motoblur. The whole UI and especially the widgets are, in my opinion, incredibly ugly. I had a HTC Hero before this phone and if the Atrix had the Sense UI it would be perfect. |

Yeah i've gone with the Atrix on Orange too. Was originally going to be the Galaxy S2 on O2 but they kept screwing the order up so I cancelled it and went with Orange instead

You can now buy the complete two screened kit for £300.
The 11.6" screen dock is £100 so usefully priced for owners. And I'd still prefer just the Atrix phone to an iPhone. |
