I decided after playing around with the inspire that I'm gonna return it on Tuesday and move up to the atrix. Anyone else doing this? Root has been obtained for inspire but its pretty complicated for a noob like me.

Same here. I really liked the Inspire, think I'll like the Atrix more.
I'm also exchanging my Inspire for the Atrix. While I love the screen, I found the phone itself to be too large for my tastes.
It's likely that root on the Atrix, if it is achieved, will be far more difficult than the Inspire. The Inspire is just an AT&T version of the Desire HD which has been available for some time and is well understood. Being a "newb" and not understanding how to use a phone or do certain things is not a good reason to return one for another phone that will be as or even more complicated...
I already returned my inspire. I liked it but the battery issue was a deal breaker for me. I want a phone that at least will give me 8 hours of battery time, the inspire died in my pocket before lunch one day.
Same here. The battery issue and slow CPU.
The atrix is way better than inspire.

I am all in for the Atrix, but you would be hard pressed to find a phone other then the Atrix, right now that keeps up with the Inspire's CPU scores.. Not Dual-Core, but not slow.
Lol I know being a noob isn't a good reason. Yeah battery does suck though, sound sucks, led notification works half the time, and I'm getting some crappy yellowish tints on a lot of my pictures. In willing to take a $35 hit on restocking fee, plus extra $100 that atrix cost for the extra processor, ffc, and hdmi out.

For quadrant I was getting 1700, for smart bench....can't remember scores but it was low...I remember seeing atrix pulling 2800 quadrant in a video from ces. 1100 difference is huge, my aria running cm 6.1.1 oc'd to 825 got 1102
Edit: ran smartbench because I was curious..got 861 productivity, 1273 games index...yeah reallllly low scores...I think quadrant favors snapdragon

I bought my inspire for $99 4 days ago and ordered the atrix on the same account same number for $199.00 I will hold on to both and see which one is better. Right now the inspire is flawless and the atrix will have to do something really special to win this fight.

How did you do that using the same line?? If it works i would definitely do the same!!
I am just wondering. Does a Dual core phone with 1GB RAM (not sure how much is usable) make so much difference in usage as compared to Inspire with 768MB RAM and 1 Ghz processor?
It's not like we have to use processor intensive apps like "matlab" or something

I am getting atrix as well and I am on inspire right now. yes it is a slower cpu then the one in atrix, but does it feel slow? inspire feels like the fastest android phone I have ever used up to this point. I really dont think it is atrix will feel any faster just because it has faster hardware. May be it will handle things better in the future. For now it has been great.
Inspire's already old tech. Good choice on returning it.
You got to admit... The inspire is built well. Man, that thing is a nice slab of metal! I would say it's the best built phone I've ever used. I too will be returning for the atrix (shipped tomorrow to my local at&t store) just for the battery life alone as the inspire's battery is real bad... My concern is the built QLT of the atrix. All cheap feeling plastic? Weird, as MOTO usually makes a solid feeling device... hmmm
I got the Inspire last week. Best thing about Inspire is Sense IMHO. It has the best email, phone and calendar software of any devce I know. BUT I think the camera, screen, battery and sound are all inferior (I also have a CaPTIVATE that has a perfect custom ROM so everything works). I will also give the Atrix a go and then decide which to keep.

Well... yes, depending on what you're doing. The dual core processor os going to let you do things faster, and help keep the phone from slowing down when running cpu intensive apps like games and sstuff.
The ram will help keep thongs open; with 512 I.can have a browser and maybe aan app pr two, but open a game then switch to the browser, and the game resets because android tries to run it all in the background.
More RAM will allow more things to stay open in memory along with allowing a smoother overall experience.
Captivate 2.2.1 Paragon
do you have to pay in order to return the phone? and/or is there a fee to exchanging it to an atrix?
Have had it in use for more than a day. Battery life sucks, data speeds suck, screen is less than unimpressive...and when compared to my no-longer outgoing ATT Nexus One, its subpar in nearly every way that I seem to use a smartphone.
Its going back tomorrow. Who else is as turned-off this quickly by the Atrix?

The Atrix may have larger performance numbers on paper but I'm saying that for how I use a phone the Atrix isnt great...its not even good.
My n1 screams in comparison; its hands down a better device.

I appear to be having the exact opposite experience as I'm absolutely loving mine.
Oh, and I'm coming from an iP4 and an Inspire as my last 2 phones. Inspire batter was just horrid for me, but the Atrix has taken a full day's punishment of being used heavier than normal and I still have about 40% remaining. That includes tons of gaming (crazy snowboard and Angry Birds mostly) and some music, YouTube and browsing.

How exactly does it blow it out of the park when stock Nexus S gives 1200 to 1300 in Quadrants and the Atrix gives 2800 COMPLETELY STOCK? Super Saturated Amoled Screen? No thank you.
What makes it so great for you guys?
I prioritize battery life, data speed, customization, size in hand. With those considerations the Atrix disappoints.
It may be great for some, but im still tallying the list of what I can no longer do in giving up the nexus for the atrix. So I'm headed back
I'm not looking to piss off folk, but just see if others see it the same way. New is not always better, QED.

Coming from a Captivate running 2.2.1 (Serendipity 5.11), the Atrix is a lot faster. Absolutely no lag from my experience. Just missing the fast upload speeds...
Umm what nexus s gives that stock stock I pull 1969 non 2978 on voodoo kernal and 2.3 works with the ui to speed things up a feature only in 2.3 not froyo and 2.4 will be even better witch you will need a atrix 2 to see 2.4 I bet.

Funny how your FULLY customize Nexus S needs all that to stand BESIDES the Atrix. And get your facts straights. 2.4 is Gingerbread. Which all new phones will see soon enough. Atrix I'm guessing even sooner.
I think it's just personal preference is all. I prefer the speed, display, screen size of the Atrix. It also absolutely smokes flash video. Speakers aren't tinny and have tons of clean volume which is a welcome change. Storage is also very nice, especially not having a small app storage. The fingerprint scanner is working perfectly for me and I find it easier to unlock my phone while taking it out of my pocket. Voice quality is a ton better for me as well. Gaming is way smoother than the N1 and multitouch is better.
Those are a few of the things that make is pretty great to me.

I dont own an Atrix (yet) but had a chance to experiment with the device.
Customization and size can be considered very similar to the nexus 1. Data speeds is got to do with the AT&T network, not the phone. And my guess is that the battery life also better.
The only disappointment is the screen as compared to the captivate (i own..). The amoled screen though saturated colors is still better than the Atrix. The angry birds on the Atrix had the colors very dull. (i mean very disappointing.) Also the brightness with the max setting is equi9valent to say 25% brightness on the Amoled. But maybe thats bcoz i have got used to the captivate screen.
Otherwise the phone is super fast and responds very well. Quality is far better than the captivate.
Ah for nexus s its 2.3 gingerbread and the atrix wont taste icecream like the nexus s will good luck with even tasting 2.4 and roms fat chance #smh but enjoy moto helo moto

still testing it out and i think its too soon to say i'll switch... but if xperia arc is available within 30 days i might be tempted... and my backup would be HTC Inspire 4g
so far my issues are battery life, moto blur, locked bootloader, data speed, some unsupported apps (due to resolution) and random lag
what i like is the weight, screen resolution, hdmi out, duo core speed, speed and of course more speed... I also like the "idea" of the accessories like the laptop dock, but will probably never purchase one
I'm sure the battery life will get better after a few charges, it is the first day after all and possibly with a firmware or two the data rates will improve as well.
If I do return it will be on the 30th day so I can get the full feel of the atrix express before I make a final decision
Just my two cents

My battery life is MUCH better on the Atrix than the Inspire was for me. Ringer/notification volume is loud and clear vs the Inspire as well. I can set the phone down in the car and hear nav instructions easily even with music playing in the car. Flash video plays pretty well on the Inspire, but it gets smoked by the Atrix. I also love the docks such as the car dock. It's amazing how much easier it is to use in the car with a custom dock.
Battery life is better on the Atrix. I'm coming from a Nexus One.
The touch sensor on the N1 is also garbage. Typing on the Atrix is much improved.
720p video quality is much improved, although grainier than my Captivate.
Atrix loads faster than Nexus One.
I would rate the Atrix a "fair" upgrade. Just fixed some things about the N1 that I grew tired of.
P.S. Crippled upload is a bummer considering the front facing camera.
I will. I miss a big screen....
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I'll check it out, that big screen is great and I haven't found a use for having a Tegra 2 (not into gaming on the phone, I'll use a tablet/pc/console for that). Side-loading is enabled by default, so it will probably have true custom roms/kernels too (I'm guessing the bootloader will not be locked down).
I'm going to have a look at it. I agree about not really using tegra fully (yet). How much RAM does Infuse have?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Meh....im not that impressed honestly. 4.5" is too big for a phone screen...way too big.
I'm not as interested in the Infuse as I think I will be in the Galaxy S II. I am hoping that it isn't far behind in coming to AT&T. I will be due for another upgrade in July, so I will have to see how it holds up to the Atrix.
Looking at the specs it just seems like a big Captivate that runs a little faster with a bigger brighter screen. It's an improvement but not a generation jump (like say the Atrix, Sensation or Galaxy II).
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
i am interested only in its category 14 theoretical 21 Mbs download speeds. compare that to the Atrix which is only cat 10 and at max theoretical top out at only 14.4 Mbs. In real world usage, in areas where i get full HSPA bars, I never get pass 2.5Mbs so pretty disappointment.
I just want a decent phone that has a front camera and dual core. I wanna try this phone out but I somehow am taking a step back expecially since the SGS2 just passed FCC.
Sent from my X10i TripNMiUI using XDA App
It's sort of a step back when compared to the Atrix, but the Atrix has given me some issues that I never had with the Captivate, plus the cameras on the Infuse are much better!! I just hope the Infuse's battery compares to the Atrix's and that the GPS turns out great!
i initially thought it would be dual core and i was tempted
later found out its only a single
no thanks

I love the Artix's 16GB internal memory, 1GB RAM, and 1930 mAh battery. If the Infuse came with that, it would be a serious contender. Still don't know how that huge screen won't kill the battery in an hour.
1500mah battery with a 4.5" SAMOLED+? No thanks, SAMOLED+ uses the crap out of the battery, so the life on this one will be less than adequate. Going to keep my atrix.

This review is not making me wish I had waited. Look at that less-than epic benchmark score...not to mention the battery consumption is not stellar. Lots of red flags on that thing for me, and it's $100 more than the Atrix. Meh.
It will probably kill inspire sales in about 5 minutes. It seems to be better in about every way.

I'm leaving T-Mobile and my beloved HD2 and switching to AT&T and getting the Infuse.
Costco has it on sale for $169.99 starting on May 12th!
The specs are good enough for me, 1.2GHz Processor, 16gb internal, S-AMOLED Plus display, HSPA+ (21mbps), HDMI via MHL, 1750 mAh battery,
Dual-core devices have yet to amaze me. I used my HD2 with CM7 for awhile and was able to run many of the programs/games like many of the recent devices.
And its the first AT&T android device that allows side-loading of apps without the need for a root. So I can just take all my apk's that I have on my 16GB microSD from my HD2 and install away!
Hi there guys/girls,
I have a Moto Atrix and have been offered a Samsung Galaxy S II as a straight swap.
Can anyone advise me on whether this is a good deal?
I love the Atrix battery life but don't like the locked bootloader which means no dev support.
Any advice is appreciated.

Battery is far from better, this guy is on crack.
1650 mah on GS2 to 1930 mah on atrix.
I like the higher resolution screen on the atrix. The atrix also has 1080p play, not recording yet(unless you want to mod).
The atrix is only on 2.2.2 right now, but we'll be receiving a 2.3.3 update in the next month or two. (Correction 2.3.4)
I couldn't be more happy with my atrix, I like the fact that I can do whatever I want for the entire day and never run out of battery. I also like the fact that the resolution of the phone is so high (960x580 or something like that?). I couldn't stand looking at pixels all day with a 800x480 screen.
The simple fact that I know I can watch videos and play games on my phone for the entire day without worrying about the battery is reason enough for me to keep it. Also the fact that we're getting the 2.3.4 update soon is good enough for me to not jump ship.
Both phones are great but the battery life the atrix offers, the resolution of the screen, and the tegra2 processor are all keepers for me.
Enjoy your phone! Either choice is good.
Thanks for the reply Magnetox...
I was hoping for a response along those lines, I myself was very hesitant to do the swap as I genuinely like the Atrix and have had many android phones to know and appreciate how good the battery is on the Atrix.
The reason I made the post was because alot of people told me to do the swap but deep down I was very hesitant as having had the nexus s and galaxy s I know about the battery life, as far as the Super Amoled display is concerned I think it's the biggest over hyped screen in the world.... Yes the blacks are great but the other colours are so far from natural it makes everything look cartoony.
Once again big thanks to Magnetox.... I think I'll stick with the Atrix and wait for 2.3.4 as for everyone recommending the SGS2 I'll let you be the sheep that follow and make a big mistake.
Is something wrong with his Galaxy S II? I don't see why he would want to do this swap.
The Atrix is good, but the S II is perhaps the best phone on the market.
No it's brand new in the box.
But he likes the docks and webtop that the Atrix has.
What makes the SGS2 the best phone on the market?
Here is a pretty good break down between the 2:

The Super AMOLED Plus display is the best with amazing colors.

This is not an over-exaggeration. The vibrancy of the colors on the display is amazing. I have a Captivate and will probably get an Atrix in the next two weeks (I just upgraded 11 days ago), but I know I will miss the hell out of this screen. The minute AT&T's GSII is released, the Atrix will most likely be sold.

As much as I love my Atrix, I'd say swap right away!
Isn't the SGS2 about $700 USD?
If so, then sell the SGS2 for a profit and get a new Atrix once more and save some money in the process.

Both are great phones, I just prefer the atrix.
Higher res + better battery + tegra 2 games = better phone
(at least in my opinion)
Cheers! You'll enjoy either of them.
EDIT: Once the bootloader gets unlocked by motorola (they said they would), or once it gets cracked or bypassed, this phone will be even better than it is now! It is much more futureproof IMO than the GS2

Again, the battery life is virtually identical. The atrix has a bigger default battery, but the SGS2 is more efficient. SGS2 clocks down to 200mhz when turned off whereas the Atrix only clocks down to 400mhz in my experience.
Gingerbread has no dual-core enhancements, so the Atrix will only see a small bump in benchmark scores from updating, but nothing to bring it over the SGS2.

Doesnt the optimus 2x only have 512 mb of ram? And isn't it running froyo 2.2? Not a fair comparison.
Gingerbread may not have dual core enhancements... but it most definitely makes the phone faster. Updated drivers, new kernels, improved efficiency.
Benchmarks have been done on the gingerbread atrix and it showed around 10-20% improvement in FPS. Im assuming there's not so much motoblur to slow it down.
The drivers are obviously much more optimized for the atrix in gingerbread. Here's the link.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhdEeu3WUXA
51 FPS on nenamark. Stock clock. Currently the atrix does 43 fps. Correct me if I'm wrong but thats 20% increase in FPS. That means this phone is going to be flaming fast in gingerbread once the bugs are worked out.
Also, the battery life IS NOT IDENTICAL.
The atrix clocks down to 216 mhz. Stop spreading false information. The atrix has better battery life. Period.
The fact that the SGS2 only has 4 gpu cores, and the atrix has 8, is a huge difference.
Once overclocking kernels are available the atrix can stably sit at 1.2 ghz IM SURE, and it has the battery life to do so. And it will have 8 cores @ that 1.2 ghz.
The atrix is more futureproof IMO.
That's why I'm sticking with it.
I own a inspire now and someone wants to trade me a atrix for it. Im not a big fan of motoblur but the has the better hardware. My biggest concern is battery life and reception. Neither have been that great on the inspire. Im hoping that the atrix falls under the tradition of motorolas great reception. Has anyone ever had the opportunity to compare the two well?
I have no problem with the reception, and the battery life is definitely better than Inspire. If you don't mind the smaller (4" vs 4.3") screen, do the trade.

I'd say its worth it considered getting an inspire at one time, but then just decided to keep my Atrix

I'd say that's a good trade for you. I have the atrix and my wife has the inspire and there's no way I'd pick the inspire over my atrix.
My atrix has better battery, better signal strength, better GPS, and if I remember correctly, more internal storage. I even like the screen on the atrix better. Just my two cents. Hope it helps.

Yes, it is.
O wai- this isn't the Inspire forum.
The Atrix is much better than the Inspire. Why? It's qHD, and you'll NEVER notice the Pentile. Same with the build quality. HTC has produced phones with build quality like the Atrix before. Namely the HTC Aria.
No, seriously, if you are trading, than the Atrix is smaller, lighter, and much faster. It has some issues playing back higher bitrate media the Inspire wouldn't, but that's just encoder stuff. Overall, I would choose the Atrix over the Inspire, 100 times out of 100. If this was the Sensation, or Titan (yeah, I know), then I'd be a lot more on the border, but this is Inspire vs Atrix.
Atrix all day!!!
Lol im trying to speed up the trade process guys. Hopefully it happens.
Atrix battery life is atleast 10 times better than the Inspires.

Inspire was my first Android phone. Terrible Battery life and poor reception - just like you said. Antenna design is worse than iPhone 4.
Traded in for Atrix and have not regretted it once. Reception is better plus 4G is more 4G-y. My Inspire would barely do 2mb/s and my Atrix averages 3-4mb/s. Battery life is no comparison. Inspire I had to give two bump charges a day. Atrix will go all day without a bump unless I plan on going bar hopping til 2 am. And I am a heavy user that syncs two exchange email accounts, two gmail accounts and google voice.
I have both and the Atrix beats it all day. The Inspire is a nice backup phone though

I'm hoping this is truth. I just did an insurance replacement for my Aria, and since it's discontinued, they're sending me an Atrix (best $50 ever spent?).
I used to have an Inspire, and sold it and bought an Atrix.
Basically: Atrix: Better battery life. Front camera. Inspire: Better/Bigger screen.
There is not perceptible speed deference on daily use.
I miss the size of the Inspire screen. But like the battery of the Atrix better.
In my house hold there is two atrix and one inspire, lets just say I'm glad I own one of those atrix lol...
But seriously, I'm always hearing my sister complain on her crappy battery life and horrible reception. Neither of which I have a problem with, plus its much faster especially if you get off that crappy motoblur stuff. Only downfall I see for the Atrix is the built quality and the camera, I give that round to the inspire. Other than that, can't see why you wouldn't go for it... hurry before they change their mind!
