First and foremost I love my atrix for the most part..but the question is do I trust AT&T to make good on the HSUPA or do I return the phone this weekend before Im stuck in two years of possible down/upload hell in my area I typically get 500-1kdown and 90-200kup my thirty days expire this weekend so I guess its time to make a decision. Your opinions and thoughts are definitely welcome
Well I mean it is your phone and your experience, we can't really tell you if you should get it or not.
If you're happy with it, that's what matters; if you buy any ATT branded phone then you're going tto run into this (4G phones obviously)
I didnt mind for the upload and download speeds, I just didn't like the phone itself.

I was more or less interested in others thoughts on rather or not they believe AT&T will eventually do right by their non-iphone users..because to be honest AT&T is already one of if not the most restrictive carrier now in addition to that they offering sub-par service
Its hard for me too. Im thinking of calling up ATT and seeing what they will do for compensation till they fix this issue. Not only is my upload bad but my download seems to get capped. If I run one speed test its good. The next right after are slow, around 300kbs down. Its horrible. Im kind of mad at them right now and I hope they fix this crap.
Inspire is a good choice. I sold my atrix on eBay already. A locked cellphone is a dead one.

The phone does not get 4G speeds. It's false advertising if you ask me. I would return it until they fix this.

Sometimes returning a phone is not as easy as you think. Restocking fee or shipping and handling fees really hinders people. I'm still deciding whether I should keep the Atrix or not.
Keep or not Keep, that's the question.
Virgin has full coverage here in NYC. I don't talk a lot. I use a lot of text/gtalk. They have 25$ plans. The processor/gpu is the same as the thunderbolt. I was going to wait on the nexus 3 but if the Triumph comes out and someone can get CM on it somehow- I might pick it up.
I know the Triumph (Thunderbolt specs) and the Nexus 3 (supposed quad core) are totally different but for 25 a month- that's very attractive.
I know this place will be pro-Vibrant and most likely pro nexus since its a dev device but if the Triumph can get a 2nd init install of Cm or MIUI- why not?
Thoughts?

I am really tempted to pay my etf and make the switch to VM because the service (virgin mobile which uses Sprint's network) is a lot better then T-mobile's in my area. I've heard the Triumph also is running stock android, so thats a plus. I say go for it, $25 a month is a very good deal and VM has a 30 day returm period, so if you don't like it you can return your phone.
How much does that phone go for?

I think Virgin has a 30 day period to return the phone if you don't like it. It would be nice to try it. Worse comes to worse and you don't like it, return it and you're only losing the 25$ for that month.
Vanilla android, yumm.

Haha that made me chuckle
Also, Motorola said that they will start releasing phones with unlocked bootloaders later this summer. Whether that applies to this phone is yet to be told... I hope it come with an unlocked bootloader.

As much as I don't like verizon's phones. They have the fastest mobile network in the US hands down (LTE and not CDMA). Their devices average 12Mbs, and can hit up to 21Mbs. There's really no contest there. T-mo and the others can't do that today.
First, this is my first post in this sub-forum, as I have a fascinate, but I just wanted to point out 2 things about this phone and Virgin Mobile in general:
1. Sprint has wonderful service in my area, better than AT&T and T-Mobile, but not as good as Verizon. I DO know that I am willing to have one less bar and slower data to save $60 a month. Also, I don't travel where Sprint doesn't have service, so roaming is a non-factor to me, although to some people that should be a pretty big point, as VM doesn't roam out of sprint's network (trade offs... pfft)
2.Virgin Mobile's android phones follow a trend, sell the phone for ~ 50% of retail. I'll prove it:
Optimus S $299 | Optimus V $149 and Samsung Transform (Sprint no longer offers the Intercept) $350 | Samsung Intecept $199 (I see it all the time on sale at BB for $175)
What this leads me to believe is you simply need to find the equivalent phone and simply slash it's price in half, +/- $50. I believe the EVO is the closest match, so take half of that price and you get roughly $225, according to Sprint. Therefore, I believe the triumph will be $250.
What do you all think?
the phone will be sold for $299.99
you can pre-order it now on bestbuy's website.
just go there and search for "motorola triumph"
I'm kinda pissed that the price is so high, but unlimited data, text, and web for 25 a month... will make up the difference in a few months on the money you save from paying your normal phone bill.
If it can't be rootrom'd then im gonna wait for the nexus 3.

I wouldn't, what most people don't know is how these carriers are able to sell the phones for so little money. For example, the rumor touch is 100 bucks for virgin mobile while the off-contract price for the rumor touch on sprint is 250 in most stores, how are they able to do that? the answer is different parts, not just different brands, also lower quality, which is why most people who have a prepaid phone have the most phone problems, there's not a single prepaid phone in the last 3 years that I've seen with no serious problems. While the same can be said for post paid versions in this case it is much worse on prepaid smartphones.
Ask anyone who repairs/mods cellphones, most of the time they won't mess with prepaids :/
The reason those companies sell it higher at full price is to try to get you into their contract.I have never had a problem with a prepaid phone.I personally don't mind getting it cheaper without the contract.I also will dev or work on any phone prepaid or not.I am looking forward to the Triumph, finally there will be a nice spec'd phone on prepaid.While I am happy with th Optimus V I was already looking to use it as a donor for another phone.But with this coming out, I'll just sell my V and get it.Though I'm sure it will have a locked bootloader as long as it can be temp rooted to remove bloatware I'll be very happy.

So I did an insurance clsim on my g2 and they told me it was on back order and didn't know when they would have it. So needing a phone I just went and picked up the g2x. Then the next day the g2 shows up at my house. So now I have a new g2 that I need to sell. But I had to pay 130 for the claim so I need to sell it for atleast that preferrably more. A local phone store offered me 165 for it but I thot I should see if one of my fellow xda members wanted it first. If your interested send me an offer either in the post or pm me. Thanks guys, later

I dunno, I'm pretty sure mine was brand new from a warranty replacement from Tmobile. It came with android 2.2 still on it and if it is a refurb they did such a good job I can't tell. Also, they told me, "We'll send you a new or like new device", so isn't it possible to get a brand new one from leftover stock?

I see, well maybe they have a stock of new ones they never sold or possibly it is a refurb and they put 2.2 on it assuming you'll update it after powering up. Either way I couldn't tell the difference, it's a flawless refurb if that is in fact what it is.
I'm not 100% that all DZ's have the same radio but one from Roger's Canada will work on AT&T 3G, not sure about HSPA+ though and the G2 functions on TMo. Vague answer I know, but it's all I have right now.

Yeah it would most likely get edge only. That's what happens if you put a G2 on AT&T so I would expect similar results if you put one on Rogers
Sent from my Bulletproof G2
the difference between the rogers/bell DZ and the tmo G2 is the 3G band it supports. the tmo version only supports tmo's 3g bands (2 bands, 1 for up and 1 for down) while the rogers/bell support 3 (i think), one of which is compatible with AT&T's 3G band.
that and the G2 does not have Sense while the DZ comes with sense 2.1
i think that's about all the real differences between them.
Sounds like this would be a great 3G device for anyone in Canada on wind or Mobilicity (it is really hard to find a good android with a keyboard in Canada that works with Mobilicity and Wind).....I'm getting 3G data with my T-Mobile G2 on Mobilicity.

no because i didnt do an insurance claim.. i did a warranty echange through tmobile, but paid for it. i actually think i found a way to get a new fone cheaper than paying the $130. see if u call t-mo and tell them something is wrong with ur fone and u want to do a warranty exchange, they send u a new device (or refurb or w.e they send.) u send ur old one back and if they determine that it was something u did to the phone, they only charge u $105 to ur account. now u got a new phone for $30 dollers cheaper than insurance. well it seems my forum has stranded away from its origin. is anyone interested in this phone or jus determining whether its new or refurbed. lol
Id be interested in buying it off you depending on how much more than 130 you want..I'm still using a g1 and would love to upgrade to this phone as I've wanted to for a while

I could make a long list of companies I would rather see acquire T-Mo than AT&T. Quite frankly just about any other company would be ok with only two or three that come to mind that probably wouldn't be such a good idea.
I would love to see google but t-mobile maybe then they would sell the prime
They are already working on Plan B which would be a Joint-Venture...

You know. For wanting to get out of the USA they sure aren't being very successful. If the deal went through they would get 8% of AT&T stocks, which would make them the single biggest shareholder. Which means they could push things around to get AT&T to adopt more of the T-mobile policies and ideology. I'm not for the merger but there are some pluses. Just hate AT&T and their overcharging plans.

When i rang Orange last night they didn't seem to know of any offer currently, but they said that EE is aiming to be fully launched by the end of October so if there are any special offers then they are more likely to come after then, as they said they have only just started alerting customers to changes in there service.
Not sure if this is true or not or if calling EE directly would give me a different answer.
why is this thread even called "trade in program" when there isnt one and will never be one. You will be able to buy it on contract like any other phone, they wont need incentives as it will be the first 4g phone.

Because the OP was asking if anyone has any information about a trade in program involving the two phones, they may well not be one but that's what the OP was trying to find out.
And i think incentives will be needed to get people who purchased the i9300 to then spend more money on the i9305.
