Got AT&T to give me back unlimited Data!!!

[AndreaCristiano]

SO being that I have been using more and more data since my switch to android and the atrix on the horizon for myself. I called at&t and complained about my recent overage charges and how I was made to switch to the 25 dollar plan not by choice and BAM they gave me back my UNLIMITED DATA!! This is a good sign for everyone!

AWESOME!

Congradulations!

now the really hard decision.

Keep the galaxy s

or upgrade to atrix?

Atrix has epic hardware + 4g.

but,

Nexus will get upgrades first

Plus.. even though its edge.. how fast do you really need your connection to be?

And how much are you around wifi?

Either way now you don't have to rush to make a choice

The only reason why the edge is even bothering me at all is this. There are times that the wifi is a bit weak with this phone and then the edge has an issue. So there is a momentary data loss and nothing works web email etc etc and this happens frequently throughout the day

Good for you man. I knew that they had to let you keep it if you had it before.

Yes I'm stoked. Also they told me if the others on my plan want it they just have to call in to reactivate

 

[Snow_Fox]

thats really cool.

I am glad I'm around wifi 24/7 just about.. so 200mb should be enough for me.

Yea that's what I thought but ever since I switched to android I have seen data usage jump. It has to be because of things running in the background constantly

Well, for me, the Unlimited plan will be the biggest incentive for me to get the Laptop dock for the Atrix. If it is priced reasonably, I will definitely get that versus having to pay an additional monthly fee. It seems that it would have enough functionality to get me along. It says it has full Firefox so I am curious as to whether Netflix will work or not (even though Netflix for Android is coming soon). If most webapps will work on it, I will probably be compelled to get the dock but it might be hard to find it's place in my current tech lineup.

I mean no tethering fee awesome! !

That's what I'm doing, but I rooted mine and added the Droid Firewall, and only allow a few apps to talk via 3G, my average Usage right now is under 10Meg a month, including pulling up traffics maps a few times a week in traffic.

Yep. Say it costs $150 for the dock. After 8 months, I will save money. Granted, I can tether up to five devices but then I will be limited to 2GB versus a 5GB soft cap.

Exactly. I'm so getting this dock

My problem is it fitting in in my mobile setup between my i7 Macbook Pro and my iPad (non 3G). I use a Mac Pro for my intensive work so one cannot consider the Macbook Pro as a desktop replacement.

I sold my ipad. I found it didn't fit my needs as a laptop replacement so I ended up never using it

I found it to be very useful for me. It works well for classes with graphs I have to do in conjunction with my Macbook Pro.

It wasn't that. The fact that the cases to make it stand as a laptop were cumbersome and I disliked them. So having it naked was uncomfortable

150$ for the dock?

Sounds like a reasonable price.

Hope you guys enjoy the phone.

Its pretty cool that it can do all that.

I wish I was in the market for a netbook >.<;

I still find it rather absurd that you call it a netbook.

Lol

Whats so insane about it?

Just because it isn't traditional doesn't mean its that far removed either.

As a comp sci major I have less problems calling this phone a make shift netbook than I do calling any tablet out there a laptop replacement.

However, the general population loves calling tablets laptop replacements :/

In that persepective your not wrong. Its all in what you do with it

 

[Snow_Fox]

Well do you still think of the atrix as just a phone?

Perhaps if we are fast we can coin a new term!
