I can still return my Atrix but what about Optimus 3D or Thrill4G? Should I return Atrix and get LG instead? How's the CPU compare of LG optimus 3D vs Atrix?

If it's the same 3d screen like a nintendo 3ds I would pass. I played with a 3ds at best buy and it gave me a headach and I felt sick after 5 minutes.

the LG isn't even out yet, and won't be on AT&T until the 2nd quarter of this year. so none of us will be able to answer your question.
On the same boat....
haha, was thinking about that as well... I got 8/days left to turn it in.. the only thing I see, is the 480x800, had that on my DX, I liked it, but then started to like the Atrix qHD..
Been some time since I had an LG phone or read up on them, wonder if the bootloader is locked like the Atrix.. not sure I can live without my Android OS for long though.. , as 2nd Q is coming up in a week or so..
The 3D can be switched off per reviews/specs.. so no worried on getting sick all the time..
not sure if I can post links yet..

If the bootloader is locked/unlocked doesnt matter. It is just, how moto acts, moto is a company with no style, good products but no feelings, no vision, just a carrier zombie ... this will answer your question:

Yea you can turn it off, but then the problem is your not using one of the devices greatest innovations then you might as well not get it in the first place and get an Atrix now ;-)
atrix gang or die!
Its LG they we're never a specialized cell phone manufacturer, moto is. That's my problem with samsung, lg and such.

You mean like the HSUPA on the Atrix.. that is not 'working' and was a feature of the 4G technology they were bragging about.. at least you can turn on/off the 3D feature when 'you' want.. unlike Atrix , waiting on moto/att... ya know...
Either way, both phones are great... just depends on what you want out of your phone... don't get me wrong, enjoying my Atrix... just having the option for another phone is good to have..

I love my Vibrant....just remember the G2 is hardware locked for rooting. There are some sweet roms for the Vibrant. And if you're hot for Froyo....there's a rom for that. The main issue is the Gps still has a few kinks to be worked out....other than that you'd have to pry it from my cold dead hands.

I would and am waiting to see what is offered during Q1 of 2011... G2 may be "locked" but it's not hardware, besides the Vibrant still hasn't seen a stable 1.4GHz OC.

It hasn't been confirmed that it will remain unrootable. Last thing I read cyanogen and crew were working on it and have said it will be difficult but they will find a way just like they have with other pita phones like ours.
Yeah I just checked the HTC Vision dev forums and they already have a one-click temp root, so I imagine a full root wouldn't be far off.

Why are you selling it?its a bad ass phone. My wife has 1 and she loves hers. 2.2 update will be soon on it so anything you get today or tomorrow will have 2.2 on it. What's the point? The mts3g is still a new phone. Wait a bit. You might find something ultimate after the new year. 2011 is the year for 4g and its products.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
well its all old technology, old processor that cant do flash, no hd screen...
it is a cool phone and hopefully 2.2 sense comes out and it will be good for a bit, but the newer 4g, hd phones are the way to go in my opinion.

It's cheap for a 4.3 "superphone" at $100, but it's outdated the second the Atrix hits the market, so I'll pass. Not to mention the battery life is supposedly worse than the Aria, if that's possible.
Honestly between the inspire and the atrix I would go with the inspire hands down. Doesnt look very promising for new kernels and such. And I have no doubt that the xda Gods can get that inspire to smoke the atrix, plus I have always perfered htc. Now if the bootloader wasnt signed, atrix all the way.
I think I am gonna see what comes out later in the year. The aria is still ok for me now, but I am def getting the itch. Congrats on the new phone.

Rooted yes, but the bootloader is signed. This means that your never going to get a new kernel. you may be able to flash a rom with some crazy work arounjd, but we all know how vital the kernel is. So much for overclocking and utilizing that powerhouse of a phone.

Is that the norm?
So, who here will consider jumping ship when the mt4g slider comes out? Screen specs I think are the same as the g2, but its dual core 1.2ghz, 768ram, 8mp cam are the biggest changes I can remember off the top of my head.
I would consider the change if the battery is bigger, and the slide keyboard is stronger than the G2. What about you?
Nonsense!
Maybe if it has decent design. And not too many qc issues like mytouch 4g.
And if I have the money of course..
I sure aint the g2 is one of the first phones i ever had that was so well rounded. Gonna stick with this one for awhile cause the chances i will like every aspect of another phone are slim.
If performance is anything like the G2x then yes. That thing is soo insanely fast.
I would like a bigger screen though. So we'll see when its anounced.
Think I'm gonna trade for the sensation. That is and amazing piece of hardware.

It's got to have a hardware keyboard for me though. While the MT4GS is tempting, I'd rather not pay full price for one of these phones; I'll just wait til October for the 1 year upgrade and see what's available then personally.

I'm going to wait a while also. the g2 is a very nice phone, goood camera, excellent radios. if and when LTE services come to tmobile, I may upgrade. I will not buy into the 4G marketing fluff.

if you get the optimus or transform there will be a 10$ charge .. he should get the Replenish dont know much about it but it is a android phone without the charge

Replenish for android phone, or if he wants a phone that kinds seems the same as the instinct(ugghh how I hated mine), the Samsung Seek or LG Rumor Touch have similiar ui's and button layouts.

If there isn't a $10 charge it isn't a smart phone choice.
How about my Sprint 755p available cheap with all kinds of batteries and accessories?

He will want something brand new, I dont know why I said those 2 phones, I forgot they had the damn charge. Anything else?
My mom has the lg optimus and likes it. Has no issues with it.
Dad has blackberry flip phone (don't remember the name) and likes it. Depends on what he needs it for. I have an instinct sitting in my room right now haha
he might as well get an Epic 4G for $29.99 @ Radioshack.com since all the Android phones have the Premium Data charge

Hmm, I think the seek or rumor touch sounds like the best thing, if you don't want the 10 dollar charge for smartphones that is. Also, he might like the Sanyo Inuendo by Kyocera.

Thanks everyone, keep the comments coming, Ill be showing this thread to him tomorrow morning...
Ok, I looked at the website, and the three I mentioned above, are the only phnes that: do not have the 10 dollar charge, are touchsceen. The replenish says it "saves you 10 dollars a month" which I think implies they aren't charging for premium data on it.

Don't get the transform... its a pile. The optimus works well Ive heard... otherwise may as well get the evo, epic or nexus in my opinion.. or a non smartphone.
With Android you get what you pay for and lots of the cheap ones don't perform well. Some to the point of being painful to use.

i really liked the evo shift
the screen is a little smaller...but has the same resolution
in some aspects it does outshine the epic & evo screen for crispness due to this
also the development came along really fast for the shift
it overclocks to 1.5ghz reliably (i would never overclock the epic) and battery life is upwards of double that of the epic...despite the so named power saving samoled.
sorry just saw comments thwarting the $10 charge (or in sero users case $20)

You are wrong in every comparison you just provided as I own and regularly use both the Epic and the EVO Shift. Battery life on both is about equal. The Epic has a much better screen and the speed on both phones is comparable with the Epic being slightly quicker out the box. If its for his dad I doubt he will be rooting and overclocking.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
great i have owned both phones as well
and let me tell you
your wrong
neener neener neener
try the x99 kernel and mikshift rom and watch the epic fade into the woodwork
All smartphones now require the $10 charge. Might as well get one of the 4G phones. I think that was one of the reasons they extended it to 3G devices

Yep, just an update, he called around and Best Buy had the epic for free today, and they waved the $10 charge for one year, no BS... He is in love, but nw I have to provide the support, and I know I wont be able to keep my hands off of it when Im at the his house, ofcourse Im gonna push him to put on my ROM (which is almost done,I need 2 theme questions answered, and trying to add journaling by default again, any help?)... So I just said your gonna need to root to take all that bloatware off, the look I got was priceless... I almost wish he got the Replenish, but since the 10$ fee was waved,he got the best deal... Thanks to everyone, Im gonna use all 5.
I'm surprised his instinct lasted this long. Hands down, the worst phone I have ever owned.
Glad he decided on an epic though, great choice!

Ditched my Atrix when the Infuse came out, and I couldn't be happier. In my opinion, the infuse is a far better phone. However, my decision had nothing to do with the locked bootloader on the Atrix. Just my own preferences. I haven't even flashed the Infuse yet. Other than root, it's stock. But it is nice to see you guys finally getting some moto-luv. The co-worker that has my Atrix will love this.

I'll admit it. I got impatient with the Atrix and switched to iPhone 4 within my 30 day return policy.
Mostly the reason I switched is because of Motoblur. First Motorola Android phone purchased. Yeah, I used Launcher Pro but it didn't "smooth" enough.
Now I'm regretting the switch since I saw the video on how to unlock the bootloader. I liked using differents ROMs. I change like I change socks. Once a week.
