totally. Just upgraded. I had the GalaxyS2 for a few days, paid $50 for it... but returned it and went for the Atrix2... while I like some of the Touchwiz apps - default clock, calculator, and the gallery app... I did find myself missing some things about the Motorola stuff. It is a really good phone.
it does have an led notification light. I switched to the GS2 for a couple of weeks as an upgrade from the original Atrix 4G... and the LED notification WAS something I can say I missed. Got this phone just yesterday for free with a 2 year contract from Best Buy Mobile.
For those of you deciding between this phone and another, choose this one! I am holding it right now and it's just freaking awesomeeee. For the price and such you get so much more, I'd give it a 9 :D
@iconx2008 I recommend the atrix 2 or photon 4g because they are guaranteed to get android version 4.0 in july. the droid 3 is most likely getting it, but it is still in the evaluation phase for compatibility with the new version. plus the atrix 2 and photon i think have bigger screens.
does this still have market place to get all your apps or does motorola have like its own app place app type thingee? also when you go to acess like all your apps and what not can you change the layout of that because it looks something oldish could i like customize this fone?
About pentile display: look at the pentile on galaxy nexus: is detailed and fantastic, more that atrix 2. If something is done bad in some occasions that does not mark it as completely bad forever.
@ArekushisuH All android phones have the android market, including this one. This phone has it's own music store, but you can also go the the android market for music. The app drawer of the phone cannot be changed unless you get a different home launcher from the market. all android phones are customizable to an extent, this one is less than others.
I just got this phone today, but the screen, particularly photos, are way too dark compared to my Evo 4G. Sadly, going to have to return it. Too bad, really want it to like it
@kalle3181, the sgs2 is nice but the Atrix 2 has a nicer screen in my opinion. Sure it may be a little slower than the sgs2 but at half the price and no boring touchwiz and better build quality i'm very happy with mine. Now if only moto unlocks the bootloader.
can someone tell me the big differences between the qhd (which i have on my droid 3), the super amoled plus and retina displays? which one is really the best? thanks :)
Motorolas UI is the best android custom UI in my opinion even tho I've never used it haha just by watching these videos. I have an HTC tho and its good but not great
Oh Man... In Germany you can get EVERY single Phone for ZERO Euros. I feel so sorry for you Americans every time you say things like "You can get it for only 100 Dollars"
u need to plug sams club mobile...not best buy mobile. they cost the most of any of the dealers. sams club is cheapest. best buy is the most exspensive.
@btevoxboy6835 U hav2 c them n person & not on a spec sheet. Super amoled plus has the brightest most vivid colors of any display out & its very sharp as well even tho they only have a 480x800 display. The qhd is very nice looking very similar to retina displays. Most of the newer phones all have 16M colors & 960x540 displays which makes for a very sharp display but compared to the super amoled plus screen they look a lil washed out.
I've had this phone for a while and the money is what you get in the phone. This phone is the WORST phone if you want a fast and featured phone. I will rate this phone a 5 out of 10, maybe even worse. Worst phone

oh!!!
i was hoping it was the sensor thing, that finger print reader was neat
Do you enjoy your job cause it seems pretty cool

does the finger swipe work at all? i heard that it doesnt do an unlock to swipe thing anymore
Aaron I heard HDMI mirroring is a dud on this phone..have u tested it?

Aaron shld i get the atrix 2, the droid 3 or photon 4g? which is the best?
good guy greg its availible in all youtube videos thank you greg!

$100 Bionic gotta love that....you should compare those phones btw!

@dan4patriots1 It's 331 ppi. Other than that, you're spot-on - especially about how amazing the SAMOLED Plus screen technology is.
I know it's kinda personally, but you mind doing a vid on how you lost all that weight? You look really good :)
i picked up the fone yesterday! its a beautiful fone. Although it has turned off on my like 2 times already for no reason
at&t is offering it at 29.99 this week!
@MrMezzy24 the atrix is actually 50 bucks right now if you upgrade trhough amazon
I prefer the "blocky" transition. If I turn the phone sideways, I want it landscape... not sauntering in some pretty fashion to get sideways.
@kalle3181, the sgs2 is nice but the Atrix 2 has a nicer screen in my opinion. Sure it may be a little slower than the sgs2 but at half the price and no boring touchwiz and better build quality i'm very happy with mine. Now if only moto unlocks the bootloader.
- Motorola phone review
- keeps zooming in on an article named "Motorola should feel bad"
lol
Wait for the atrix HD!
@hilson281 would u recommend this phone
the network operator sign at the top left corner.. can it be removed?
I haven't watched a phone dog video in forever, and Aaron looks like he's lost a LOT of weight.
I WANT TO WIN THIS IN ONE PAW BANDIT!!!! AARON MAKE ME LUCKY!
AT&T's been doing really well with phone pricing. even though it means locking you into a 2 year contract, they're still trying.
can someone tell me the big differences between the qhd (which i have on my droid 3), the super amoled plus and retina displays? which one is really the best? thanks :)
@stolic2012 why? I got my iPhone 4 when I was 12 (I'm 13 now, almost 14) and I'm probably going to get the iPhone 4Steve
Why don't you record 1080p review videos?
It going for a penny now just ordered one
I'll just watch the second part tomorrow...
how is the battery life?
@starclassic161 True talk. I've been trying to decide back and forth on these two ever since the Atrix 2 came out..
Does Anyone Know If The UI On Atrix 2 (Carousel HomeScreen) Will Come To The Atrix 4G In A Future Software???
Motorolas UI is the best android custom UI in my opinion even tho I've never used it haha just by watching these videos. I have an HTC tho and its good but not great

atrix 2 or samsung galaxy S advance or sony xperia P?????PLS HELP ME OUT
Can I use this without a SIM card and use just wifi?
the heck? what is that thing in the back of the device, bottom right?
Oh Man... In Germany you can get EVERY single Phone for ZERO Euros. I feel so sorry for you Americans every time you say things like "You can get it for only 100 Dollars"
HTC Apple and Motorola designers didn't pour a s**t load of money into crafting a beautiful phone just to be covered by a case. Let them run free!
How many times are people going to say @phonedog has lost weight? We know already! -___-
Its now available at target for 20 bucks
Does skype work with the atrix 2
Starts @ 01:42
Dog Fight with the Samsung Galaxy S2, please!
@Rawrtrigga i sorta miss the old aaron :(
Where is Part 2?

@legocrazies dont listen to that guy my brother has the xperia play and I've used it and it never lags it is perfect
u need to plug sams club mobile...not best buy mobile. they cost the most of any of the dealers. sams club is cheapest. best buy is the most exspensive.
so let me get this straight... the atrix 2 is 99.99 and the Bionic is 299.99 with almost identical specs!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
i shoukd have waited till the atrix 2 came out instead of getting an infuse >_>
by Unlocking/Rooting I think
i want this ui on the atrix
@madridfaam Yup, Ordered mine today. It was actually 38 dollars. But sure hope it's worth it ;)

@btevoxboy6835 it's depends on the ppi of the screen~ so far the ppi for retina display still the best rating aroung 300 over~
daaaahhhhhh
@alreadyherdya its 49.99 at bestbuy
aight thnx :)
Here in Brazil this phone costs four times its price...
Why ?
@Rawrtrigga thats whats different about him!

I've had this phone for a while and the money is what you get in the phone. This phone is the WORST phone if you want a fast and featured phone. I will rate this phone a 5 out of 10, maybe even worse. Worst phone
