Just wondered if anyone has an Atrix?
My HD2 has just about given up the ghost and now its on T-Mobile im thinking of getting one (with the dock, keyboard, mouse package) but 'real' reviews are a bit hard to come by.....so....any thoughts?
Never had a Motorola, so its a bit of a 'ummmmm' do I, dont I time, been a HTC fan boy for too long ;D

From what i hear its a GREAT phone, its single biggest problem that doesn't affect many peoople is how tightly Moto lock their bootloaders. There is no real community out there for this compared to all the others manufacturers :) As i say it doesnt matter to some, but we also know the community (largely XDA) does some magical things with these phones from time to time, and locking them out can only hurt.

It's a lovely phone, I'd actually stick my neck out and say there are things it does better than my SGSII. If you want a business style phone which is quick with all the things you need preinstalled then it's worth a look :)

Not too bothered on the bootloader front, I only use standard ROMs never really got into the whole modding thing on fear of bricking the phone.

Looks like a very good idea (so much so that others are already planning to copy it). Historically Motorola have done their own thing when it came to firmware (many hated it, I was fine with it), but excluding Motoblur* it's all Android under the covers (except in the case of the 'laptop dock') so just as likely to run things as anyone else.

* Motoblur fits the 'own thing' category very well - sounds like previous versions had as many bugs as features, though thankfully they've listened and fixed them.
