I've been debating on the transformer or the Xoom....
now that the Xoom has SD access, will custom roms be next? Or is something still missing?
Yes, AFAIK still HC missing source code, although bits are starting to come out.
ugh I guess ill keep waiting...
Why wait once source gets released I'm sure the xoom will be the more worked on device
Who knows, alot of people were saying they were returning their Xooms

And a lot aren't
But the Transformer needs the source code as much as the Xoom does... so... it depends which one sells more and the Xoom has a head start.

Most if not all of the people returning the Xoom for a Transformer are doing so because of such minor issues, which will be resolved soon anyway. Getting the Transformer for the keyboard dock is stupid IMO. Congrats, you just bought a very expensive netbook.

Or you know.. Because it has a significantly better screen. Oh and wait, it's cheaper than the Xoom with a keyboard! Even if you don't use the keyboard, you still have it. Unless I'm mistaken and it doesn't come with the keyboard, because I have been not caring about the thing at all lol.

Mainly the SD card not working. But also things like the UI lags, there aren't enough apps, its heavy (I know, not fixable). Crap like that.
And the keyboard for the Transformer is $150 I believe.
People choose Transformer because it has better IPS screen and cheaper, and that's important.

Hmm. I'm not trying to be dense here but for me at least, the IPS screen is not better. Going by the iPad screen anyway, for reading it's not that great, and that's a major part of what I'll be doing with the Xoom.

This is simply a lie coming from someone who owned both and now only Xoom. I pad screen is better at everything. Its brighter AND crisper so how can't u read?
Well, no it's not a lie. Thanks for calling me a liar though.
I've read on the iPad and it was OK but not brilliant, the letters just don't "pop" like they do in a book or ereader. I haven't seen a Xoom yet but I've been led to believe by reviews that it's better for reading than the iPad.
My opinion: the ipad is too bright, even when its toned down. Especially if your in bed at night try to not wake up the person next to you or land air planes on your bed.
about to buy this phone. Mint condition, locked from AT&T i suppose. Seller want $250 but i can negotiate down to $200. Is it a good idea? It just a phone + charger + hdmi cable and case.
Thanks for the help. Im using the Nexus One right now.
I recommend buying the phone if you can get an upgrade at a lower price at the phone store. But, spending $250 dollars on a phone when the galaxy nexus is around the corner is not a smart idea.
I will be getting the galaxy nexus when it comes out.
Sent from my Atrix XDA Premium App
I think this is a good buy. The Atrix is in a peculiar situation right now. It is not the best phone on the market and with Galaxy Nexus coming out, it'll be inferior and it may not get stock Ice Cream Sandwich. However, it is easily one of the best phones out, and it's specs are comparable with that of Galaxy SII. It also has a fingerprint scanner (which is so amazingly convenient and works wonders) and the webtop hack is pretty useful.
Most importantly, it is cheap and future proof. You cannot buy ANYTHING comparable for under 400 dollars. With its specs you'll be able to use it and be happy with it easily for 1-2 years. With the great developer support, hopefully we'll be able to flash ICS based rom. This is a great phone to have and its under-appreciated by the general market.
Buy it. Root it. Unlock it. Flash Aura or CM7 with Faux kernel and you won't be disappointed. Then just go ahead and upgrade in 1-2 years when your cellular contract is up for extension.
Agree with lilhyper.
I went through a torrent of phones before at&t decided to early upgrade me, and it hasn't disappointed me.
While technically inferior, consider the fact that technology becomes inferior literally overnight. What matters is if it can handle your demands. It handles mine, and I brutalize hardware.
200 is a steal unless you have an upgrade soon, then wait for that and get a newer phone.

Hi all,need suggestion about to buy this phone.
But compare to O2x,which one is the best? Though i like to play games,and some say that atrix doesn't support more than two point of multitouch and has poor frame rate.
Please advise.
Thanks
i can upgrade with AT&T with a free HTC Inspire. Is that better or worst compare to this Atrix 4G?
I bought mine for $180 from some chick who had just gotten the 4s

For starters, do your own research.
Atrix is a better phone imho because it's a dual core phone with more memory, a front facing camera, higher screen resolution, and bigger battery.
Inspire is bigger with 4.3" screen instead of the Atrix's 4". However, it comes in at a lower resolution, is a single core phone, and the battery life is worse.
We had 2 Atrix's and the wife recently moved to the Inspire.
I had used it previously.
She wants to swap back.
The Inspire is a good solid phone. If you like a larger screen it was a great choice. The Atrix 2 would be an alternative now.
Personally I am sticking with the Atrix, does everything I need. For me 4 inch screens are about the sweet spot with phones . I have a tablet for browsing and a laptop for work so prefer this form factor.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
thanks guys for the help. The Atrix is $30 upgrade from AT&T so i think i'll get that.
$200... heck $300 is still a great buy for this phone!...

Try another store. You should not have to change data plans they do not expire as long as you are paying for them.

Look in the market place here. There are a few for sale or trade. $300 is too steep for a good used one, you should be able to get one closer to $200 easily.
I just traded mine our I would have given you a good deal on it.
Best of luck to you.

Having to replace my Xoom, the screen broke a couple of weeks ago. They had it on backorder forever but I got the email this morning and was surprised to see the model they wanted to send me wasn't the Xoom at all, it was "XYBRD1016" which leads me to believe they're sending me a new Xyboard 10.1...
Well... it certainly looks like it! I don't know if I'd be happy with that or not tbh!

It's not fraud. You have a contract with the insurance company. They've agreed to replace your xoom if something happens to it. Something happened to it. They owe. Simple as that. What you do with it after they send it to you is your business. No different than if you wreck your car, have the insurance company fix it, and then sell it afterward.

Picking up a GS3 from Verizon tomorrow. Sad to leave this awesome Sprint community and my first smartphone that actually lasted me the entire length of the contract. Also kinda sad that I'm gonna have to keep track of data and hope for workarounds with the Verizon version of the device. But I'll be saving money by jumping back onto my family plan (now that they all have data too, only gonna cost me $40 instead of $75 by myself on Sprint) and the improved signal and service should be nice as well. Thanks to all the developers and members here for doing some AWESOME stuff with the Epic 4G for sure!
I have a fun fact for you "upgraders". Your S3 is going to be new, shiny, and exciting. For us late bloomers who got the epic a year after you did, well, let's just say the LTE quad cores with unreleased swag and EPIC upgrades will make you butthurt. So there!!!!! Yes, I might be an idiot.

I got my white price matched with absolutely no issues, try it out... also I am returning the s III and waiting out for the Photon Q ... I thought I could do without the keyboard, but I miss it too much. I am not as productive with the virtual keyboard as I am with a regular keyboard. It's not even that the VK is soo bad, but I am more likely to put off things like enter calendar dates and take notes and reminders because it is more of a hassle than with a physical keyboard. It was also a bit too big for me to comfortably use with one hand.
Bottom line is if you are thinking about switching but are attached to the keyboard, you may want to wait for a little longer to see if another slider comes out. I think a 4.3" slider with a 720p screen would be absolutely perfect.
I just played with the GS3 and I have to say it doesn't feel as solid in hand as the gnex, gs2, and especially the evo lte. However, it seemed the most fluid of them all.
