Hello, any other Atrix owners making the switch from Atrix to SGS2 this Sunday?
Or am I the only one?
why an SGS2 when I have an Atrix? This phone rules!!!
Im thinking about it..why not try it right? Return it on day 29

Not worth the upgrade option.

its not lte who cares
Two reasons:
Not LTE (mentioned previously)
I've already got this phone and an Infuse.
I wonder if the GPS issue(s) that was on the Cappy also exist on the SGS2? Big deal breaker if it's still a problem.
I bought an Iphone refurbished when I started service last month and promptly returned it a week after. Bought a phone of CL. I've finally (3 weeks later) got everything sorted out with my return and supposedly I can go into store and purchase a phone at the new customer pricing (doubt it will work that easy). I was going to wait for the iPhone 5 or the SGS2 and more than likely just sell it because the Atrix is pretty good considering how old it is.
Question is do you think I'd be pressing my luck if I didn't by a phone soon and just waited. I have a bad feeling if I wait for the Prime or Holiday or anything more than a week away I'm going to get screwed out of my new customer discount I didn't get to use since I returned the iPhone and bought my own phone.
If there's any ATT sales people or someone with experience can you offer your opinion on me being able to get the discounted price since it is "in the notes"?

Sorry for the double post, but why don't any reviewers look into this considering Samsungs GPS issue history?
The SGS2 was launched quite some time here in Mexico and I've never even consider it.
I've seen it, I've used it, and it's a really nice smartphone, no doubt about it!
But it lacks soooo many things that my Atrix has out of the box that I consider it a downgrade for any serious Android user.
I don't like about the SGS2:
1. Does not have Webtop environment
2. Does not have Accesories, Car Dock, Lapdock and multimedia dock
3. Small battery and battery life
4. Lack of true HDMI output.
5. Too bulky, so my cool carrying belt case won't work anymore.
6. Super AMOLED Plus, contrary to popular thinking, AMOLED technology is not that great since it tends to degrade over time. Do some research about this, too many SGS and SGS2 users complain about ghosting or image burning after a few weeks or months of heavy use.

Restocking fee is $35, I'm considering changing my Atrix for the S2, but it's such a nice phone.
im waiting for a LTE phone personally. The SGS2 doesnt seem like a big enough upgrade to warrant paying money. I will say it does seem like a better phone than the atrix but only by very little, worth the 200$ to upgrade? nah
Now that Atrix has skype, atrix is complete.

I got my Atrix this April, and I am pretty sure I would be happy with it until my next upgrade. Perhaps quad-core phones then or ultra-low voltage RAM and ultra-low voltage dual-core processors?
In line? There won't be a line. GSII is 4 months old who buys this when better phones come out soon.

Exactly. The only 2 things I hate at Wal-Mart is the stereotypical Wal-Martian, and checking out.
I swear to effing christ if I go to Wal-Mart tonight and have to wait a half hour to check out with 1 thing, I'm going to flipping scream.
On the other hand, if you don't want to shop at the Dub, Wirefly.com has them for 69.99 with free activation and shipping.

It is probably only available to new users or upgrades signing a 2yr agreement.
I think the price is due to the fact that its a horribly made phone. I some how got verizon to take it back even though i was past my 30 days. thank god..set back is that im on a garbage flip untill something worthy comes out. Dont think im gonna go back to android though.
Notice even on ebay people are getting horrible offers for the phone. Samsung has a horrible name in the mobile phone industry....compare it to a moto phone,. Moto phones feel like quality
its free at my local best buy right now on an upgrade/new contract

I've never heard that Samsung had a horrible name in the mobile phone industry. I've heard that they aren't the greatest with providing updates, but the hardware in their phones is almost always the latest and greatest when the phones are released. Given the size and form factor, I can't say that my Fascinate feels flimsy either. If it weighed much more than it does, I'd wonder more about why it was so heavy over enjoying how much more sturdy it felt.
On a more personal note, if all you are going to do is come in here and bash the Fascinate, and not provide anything of any use or substance, I suggest you look elsewhere to read and post, possibly here
The Fascinate is among the best phone, hardware wise. Although, I do agree about the flimsy part. Coming from a Touch Pro, the Fascinate feels flimsy. If you feel that way too, I would recommend the verizon stand case. It adds a nice heft to the phone and feels very solid.
Also, ignore the trolls. I honestly believe that the iPhone is the ONLY way to go for some people.
no i know the hardware is great....if it works properly...ie:gps but cpu and gpu are great.
Yeah i got rid of my fascinate thank god. I came from the iphone on att but left because of the network. And now on verizon i tried android....but there are no quality apps, almost no push notification apps...ie:sports apps
I PERSONALLY believe that the iphone os is much better all around. Im gonna wait it out and hope the iphone gets released on verizon in the next 2 -3 months.
goodluck guys, hope u get gingerbread....

I agree it is bizarre their only phones over $99 now are the Infuse, the iPhone, and the mediocre HTC HD7S for Windows 7. I hope this means they got something cool up their sleeves for June that we don't know about.

What people in the comments don't understand is that there is a new group of guys at engadget now while the others are gone at Thisismynext. Josh.T reviewed the Atrix first so his review and opinon might be different than others that are there now.

Upgrading on another phone
I have 4 phones on my plan but only 3 of them have the data (last is for my daughter's emergency phone).
Of the 3 on the data plan, mine still has the medianet plan on my captivate which the AT&T rep was kind enough to keep for me when he upgraded my phone from an older phone to the captivate.
But phone #4 without the data plan is up for upgrade and I'm wondering if I order it online, do I have to pick a data plan for it? Or will it try to put a dataplan on it if I use it with her sim card but not mine?
I'm thinking if I unlock the phone and just put my sim chip in it, I can keep my unlimited, but not sure if the data plan automatically gets put on phone #4 if I upgrade on that.
Anyone know?
Hey guys
Is it the plan version or the RRP? coz I got mine for $550 from other source=(
Crap, I just bought my Atrix on Saturday... Costco gave me a good deal though.

I'm getting in on this. My plan is up for renewal and $100 seems good to me. I plan on rooting it, getting the webtop over HDMI running and possibly buying a bluetooth keyboard/trackpad.
Anyone have any tips or tricks?
I'm a little nervous because I have an N900 which lets me do pretty much anything I want...
Lap Dock
Im wondering if they are gonna dump the price of the phone are they gonna drop the price of the Dock as well? With a locked bootloader im getting kinda bored with this thing. Maybe a dock will give me something to mess around with. Im sure not paying $300 for it though.
You can also get a refurbished one for 50$

If there was ever a LTE version for att of the NS, I could honestly say it would be the last phone I would ever need.
I would be happy with a HSPA+ for TMO or ATT
Hell I am hoping the LTE version will launch for Sprint too
If the GN comes I see it being the LTE flavor. Or maybe dual WIMAX and LTE?
I was thinking of the Epic Touch but seeing ICS on INT GS2 left a horrible taste in my mouth . Hopefully they will leave the stock launcher like they did for GB?

I've reached the conclusion that buying expressive electronics when they first come out is simply a bad consumer choice. How often do new electronics (especially phones) ship with some kind of defect? It takes at least a few months for all the bad batches to reach the suckers and the bug-free versions to hit shelves.

Eh, I dont know. My Launch day Nexus One is still alive and working very well. My Launch day Nexus S 4G is stable up to 2Ghz (if it doesn't get too hot anyway), and has no major issues. Hell I even get better signal on my NS4G than ANY other phone I've ever had.

Nexus S is somewhat of a special case; most if, if not all, the bugs were worked out the year prior with the galaxy s line. And if you paid attention, which i did, the gs had plenty of problems til they released the the updated versions without bugs (gs4g and ns). On top of that, the ns4g had the ns out before it--> that's about 3 generations of product field testing. You should really thank gs, ns, and gs4g for making your ns4g what it is today
Current evo4g owner eligible for an upgrade. Was on the sprint website trying to decide between this ns4g ($0.00) and the epic touch4g ($199.99). Love the gs2's hardware, but I agree with don'tshootmesanta's distaste for TouchWiz smothering the ICS goodness underneath. Love the nexus s 4g, but it is getting a little long in the tooth. Would it be wise to get the nexus now?
As a premiere customer I believe my annual upgrade will disappear in two weeks as the program comes to an end, and the opportunity to (finally) own a nexus device, for free, seems foolish to pass up.
The foolish thing would be not to get the iPhone 4s and flip it. Nexus S 4G are too cheap to use an upgrade on it.

2. Sell iPhone on craigslist/ebay for ~ $600
3. Keep using the evo or use the $400 profit to buy new phone off contract?
I jumped on this today for my other line...anyone recomend any good roms...or is stock rooted good enough....I would like to overclock a little too...any recommendations would be helpful cause this won't be my phone so i won't be able to tinker with it...thanks

For me it's either Nexus or no Android phone but I'd get the Epic Touch 4G. You could easily sell it, buy a Nexus S 4G and have some cash to spare. You could even wait and see if the Galaxy Nexus hits Sprint and sell the Epic Touch 4G then.

Yea Peter Alfonso's Bugless Beast GPA 19, very much stock but better. You can just d/l and install it through Rom Manager although it's probably still on these forums some where, just to much other ICS stuff to wade through and find it. I've tried them all and his is by far the smoothest bug free one I've came across, great battery life as well. I'll stick with it until he gets a ICS version up and running.
hi all. last night i flashed cm10 (epinter). loved it for an alpha. but than today i went to the mall cause my wife wanted to buy some stuff, meanwhile i passed my time to bestbuy mobile. she was eligible for an upgrade device. and i discovered that i could trade my beloved atrix 4g for a value of 150$. long story short I added 50$ (+36$ activation fee for att suckers) and ended up with the SGS3. bigger and better finally true.
almost a year with atrix 4g have been amazing. would never forget the first bootloader unlock, the first cm7 flash, the first miui emotions... cm9 and cm10 last night. thank you very much all the developers and testers all the community.
specially many thanks to cyanogen and the team, turl, stevendeb, epinter. thank you guys.
keep up the good work.

You're gonna love the GS3. I upgraded about 3 weeks ago. Screen, speed, and ICS are awesome. Touchwiz is also much better than Motoblur (although I've already started using Nova as my launcher).
That said, my daughter is loving the Atrix and lapdock that I handed down to her. Such an awesome phone that I couldn't part with it as long as someone in my family could use it.
There are a few areas however that the Atrix still beats the GS3. The Atrix bluetooth radio is better. Hooks up faster to my car, and has significantly better range with my headphones at the gym. The cell radio on my GS3 also flips between 3G and Edge more than the Atrix did (sorry, no LTE in my area yet). Also, I'm sad to say that the Atrix has better battery life too.
So, bottom line is that the GS3 is an awesome phone (really love the camera too), but the Atrix still holds its own for an older phone. Gotta love all the choices we have with Android!

Our company has 4 atrix's... 2 are stock blur and 2 are ics/jb and afaik there are a lot less dropped calls/freezing/glitching on the stock blur roms than the experimental kangs. The only complaints with android 4 is the camera problems! I sure wish motorola would hurry up and release ICS or a lot more people are going to jump ship.
I know I'm eyeing the SGS3. Itis pretty much guaranteed to get updated CM builds., I don't give two craps about Touchwiz, though. The only thing holding me back is that, specs wise, it's not a huge upgrade from the Atrix. So I keep thinking it's probably not worth the upgrade cost.

The GS3 is too big for my liking. Even my SGSII I wish would have a smaller form factor sometimes as well. Atrix with a TPU Case IMO is the perfect size for a cell phone.
If the next Nexus phone has the same size as the Atrix, plus had MicroSD support. Oh man... Yeah that would hold me over for a LONNNNNG time...

Yea, did you have to buy a phone from them for them to buy yours? Could anybody just walk in and sell them an Atrix for 150 outright?

You can always sell on eBay or Amazon. That'll net more than a bestbuy trade in

And on another note, the atrix is by far the "crappiest" phone on the market. You're obviously not familiar with the Motorola flipside that att STILL sells but can't even get a proper recovery and is forced to stay completely stock, although rooted, if you want a proper working phone.

Will they just take any atrix? Even one with cm9 and stuff, or would I need to flashback first?

Yea, did you have to buy a phone from them for them to buy yours? Could anybody just walk in and sell them an Atrix for 150 outright?

when i went to bestbuy mobile i had jellybean (epinter) rooted and bootloader unlocked. they couldn't believe their eyes.
i asked them if there will be any difference if the atrix was unlocked. they said NO!
I must say that I actually bought the atrix from them, so they searched for the receipt on their system and found it.
dont know if atrix 4g bought elsewhere can be trade in on bestbuy mobile.

hi all. last night i flashed cm10 (epinter). loved it for an alpha. but than today i went to the mall cause my wife wanted to buy some stuff, meanwhile i passed my time to bestbuy mobile. she was eligible for an upgrade device. and i discovered that i could trade my beloved atrix 4g for a value of 150$. long story short I added 50$ (+36$ activation fee for att suckers) and ended up with the SGS3. bigger and better finally true.
almost a year with atrix 4g have been amazing. would never forget the first bootloader unlock, the first cm7 flash, the first miui emotions... cm9 and cm10 last night. thank you very much all the developers and testers all the community.
specially many thanks to cyanogen and the team, turl, stevendeb, epinter. thank you guys.
keep up the good work.

Were you elegible for an upgrade? Can anyone randomly walk in with an atrix and walk out with any phone?

No parting
I dont think I will be changing to any other phones mainly because of the fingerpring scanner. Its the best and unique feature. Since I have had it, its fast and easy login. If the Atrix 3 the fingerprint scanner, than I might be next..
i just bought the phone like an hour or so ago and i must say im impressed but theres pros and cons about this device. i took some flicks so you guys can see it compared to the epic 4g

No i don't think it is. Even though the call signal/quality might be superb

I say wait for it to be up on amazonwireless/wirefly/letstalk. Though I was expecting them to charge 250$, they always charge 50$ for the keyboard fee. Considering that we most likely won't be seeing any other keyboard phones for a year (sprint already has 3 with this one having best specs). There might not be much choice.
What's funny I was in radio shack with a friend today... they are selling the og epic for $20.00.

Why is it funny? it is always cheaper through a retailer then directly. You can get it for 1 penny on amazon. The only downside ordering it through a 3rd party is if you cancel after 30 days but before 180 days you pay 200$+ extra to cancel.

a no go for the following reason:
1) motorolla device with no confirmed unlocked bootloader
2) non-removable battery is only 1785 mAh
3) only 1GB RAM
So, unless these specs are wrong.... not worth it, IMO

#1 Not true, it has been confirmed that the Photon Q 4GLTE will be Motorola's first unlockable bootloader.
http://www.motorola.com/blog/2012/07/26/unlock-the-bootloader-on-motorola-photon-q-4g-lte/
That said, I still won't buy it, most likely.
Sprint posted a deal on the Motorola Photon Q. If you pre-order and add a line you get a $100 amex gift card so may be worth it if your on a family plan.
2 people told me today they are waiting for the iPhone 5...

Simpletons will be Simpletons. Im waiting on the new Nexus, which should come soon after they release the Iphone5 lol.
Unless I think this phone is worth it...and they drop the price to $100 no mail in rebate.

Thanks, that was always a concern when it came to Motorola, at least IMO
Still, considering you can get an Epic for $100 off contract and run CM10 on it, and a SGS3 for $150 via Amazon/Best Buy, I am kinda unwilling to risk jumping on board another phone with slim development prospects, until I hear otherwise. Perhaps if CM accepts the device...

My main interest is because of WORLD phone. I can us e GSM on travel and makes life much easier. I wish GS3 had GSM slot. I read that there is some long way of getting there with GS3.
i would have been willing to put up with Motorola shenanigans if the thing was 720p, but it's only QHD
looks like i'll have to go with a NOKB phone.
in other news, i know someone who will LOOOOVE the Kyocera Rise on VM... $99!?!? cut the check!

Is the lte sim card user accessible? If so, you can probably use gsm from there, just like on some verizon droids not advertising gsm capability.

Doesn't it have a locked GSM slot? I remember hearing something about Verizon version being hacked to use GSM in europe. I doubt sprint version is any different, but your gonna have to research it.
How does the qHD screen compare to AMOLED???? No one has answered this for me.

This isn't true. LG has a keyboard phone in the pipeline called the Cayenne.
The Photon is a no-go for me due to embedded battery. As it is I need to use an extended battery with the Epic and always carry a spare for backup.
When batteries were always replaceable I considered physical keyboard my deal breaker. Now replaceable battery is my deal breaker. I'd like a keyboard too, but if I *HAD* to choose between keyboard and replaceable battery I'd go with the replaceable battery. Keyboard does me no good if the phone is dead...
