I am happy with my Atrix!
Why I got it------------This is a wonderful mobile I had dreamt to have when it first came out, nevertheless it was outside of my mobile devices budget.That made me wait until new techonology was available to get it and I am happy I did.Previous ownership------------------Before I had an XPeria X10 mini, which is also a good mobile, still it was getting slow. Also I like Sony a lot, but none of their devices were having Tegra Processors and I am not a Nvidia Fanboy but lets say since I have given them my preference over graphics processing, all have been excellent so far, not to mention their CUDA technology, which they will implement soon for mobiles. Also games tend to "look" much better.Battery---------------------Battery has been quite good, although I do know there are people complaining about it, for me it would last around 18 hours even average using Waze and HDSPA+ Internet and Playing a bit of Bard's Tale. If I do not play that much with it then it can achieve around 36 hours. Also battery has been getting better through usage. Its important to mention that I use Easy Battery Saver application which manages it when it is iddle, really recommended.Performance---------------------It has been great so far. I got some screen protector, body protector and base for my car and it became my full fledged companion. I even check the stock market through internet and it browses at very good speed. The graphics with the games are amazing, the phone speed is really good and the signal, altough not that good is on average quite acceptable.Final words:------------Just some final words:Pros:- Tegra 2 processor- Good 4G speeds- Good on average Battery- Good built (of course please do not compare it with the IPhone, apple boys).- Fingerprint is amazing!!!..- Sound is quite good in calls and the ringtone volume as well (Alarm always wakes me up!)- SD expansion slot- Removable batteryCons:- Camera not the best, specially as I was comming from an XPeria model, which takes better photos and videos with smaller sizes.- Sadly Motorola would not update it to IceCream Sandwich Android Version (4.0), so you are stuck with either 2.3.6 from factory or 2.3.7 using Cyanogenmod in my case. Motorola would not free drivers for Camera and Tegra processor, but there are lots of nice projects, specially the Emerson Pinter one that gives us some hope:[...]- I did not get a HDMI cable included, also the Webtop application needs the extra devices, although its possible to modify the phone at your own risk to make it available upong HDMI connection.Overall I am very very happy with my phone and even if its not the most powerful one in the present, it has given me so much improvement for the buck that I do not hesitate to recommend it to everybody, specially as it is 3 times more affordable than the companies flagships.Hope this helps to decide if this phone is for you or not :)

Works with Consumer Cellular
I wanted to upgrade my Motorola Bravo (purchased through Consumer Cellular) to an Atrix 4G, but no one would confirm that it was fully functional on thier network...with the ability to use their data network being at issue. Consumer Cellular doesn't require a data connection for smart phones, allowing the use of wif-fi instead; however they offer a small 3G data package at a low price...for those times you happen to not be near a free wi-fi.Because I already had one of their phones, I was able to add a "New APN" through the phone's menu (Settings, Wireless & networks, Mobile networks, Access point names, menu) by coping what was in the Bravo phone. Here is how one needs to fill those fields in:Name: Consumer CellularAPN: att.mvnoProxy: proxy.mvno.ccmobileweb.comPort: 80MMSC:[...] Amazon doesn't allow a web-link in their reviews, but that is required here. See below for some hints.MMS proxy: proxy.mvno.ccmobileweb.comMMS port: 80MCC: 310MNC: 410APN type: default,mms,supl,agps,fotaAPN protocol: IPv4For the fields not listed above, they are left "<not set>". The MMSC web-link above includes the words "mmsc.cingular.com", after the usual "http...",Getting voice connections only required removing the sim card from the Bravo and putting it in the Atrix.So far, I'm very happy with this phone, with the Atrix being an improvement over the Bravo, having a better camera with a flash, faster processor, more memory, an added rear-facing camera, slightly larger screen, and the Gingerbread 2.3 OS. After 3 weeks of using the phone, I have never had to reboot it, as I sometimes did with the Bravo's 2.2 OS.I've now purchased the AT&T Laptop Dock for Motorola ATRIX 4G - Retail Packaging , the Motorola Standard Dock for Motorola ATRIX 4G , and the Motorola HD Multimedia Dock for Motorola ATRIX 4G-Motorola Retail Packaging and found a use for each. The standard dock turns the phone into an excellent, inexpensive clock and radio for my desk. On trips, I'll always take with me the Laptop Dock. Although it doesn't have the full capability of a laptop, it is so close that at times I could not tell the difference; yet it is so small and light weight that I'll certainly enjoy the convenience of it...plus it boots up much faster than a laptop. I found that I could attach the Multimedia dock to my TVs and use their large screen as my monitor, but you need to purchase a HDMI to HDMI Type D Micro Cable (6 Feet / 1.8 M) . The included bluetooth mouse and keyboard and also work with the lapdock, especially the mouse making a nice accessory for it. The USB ports on the two docks provide added capability to the Atrix 4G, including the ability to use any USB/wireless mouse. Both the lapdock and multimedia dock allow watching web-based video on a larger screen; however, there is a noticeable, but acceptable (if it is your only option) uneven motion in the video. However, both video, music and photographs stored in the phone play very well from the phone onto the TV, with the phone making a very nice control device.Now if I can only find a use for the Motorola Vehicle Dock for Motorola ATRIX 4G with Rapid Car Charger - Retail Packaging ...Update: A reviewer on another site pointed out that "older SIM cards (maybe 3-4 years old)" may also need to be replaced with a newer SIM card for the data connection to work. After 3 months, my Atrix 4G continues to work great, with the Standard and Laptop Docks being my "must have" accessories.Update2: Be careful and not get the international version of this phone....I could not get it to work with Consumer Cellular. I purchased a 2nd phone for my wife from Unlocked CellPhoneKings (recently changed their name to Breed), and they shipped the the only version they said they had in stock...the international version. My first Atrix 4G also came from CellPhoneKings. The international versions comes with a Great Britain Plug, an adapter, and an Android 2.3.4 operating system (vs 2.3.6 for the US version). I could not get it to work with Consumer Cellular which doesn't support international use on their network.
