Any Atrix Regrets?

[JSchu22]

Maybe I'm being picky, but I don't really feel like I'm holding a high-end device.

Does anyone else have a bit of light leakage around the glass edge? I have some at the bottom right corner.

I feel the same way. My bottom buttons are not all lit equally. I mean the search button light up white and the other three are yellowish...kind of annoying.

My only regret is not getting at Costco for $120. Other than that, it meets/exceeds all my expectations. I'm coming from an iPhone.

Can't change the fact it will still be made by Samsung though....

boo freaken hoo..

Samsung sucks, we get it we get it.

That doesn't change the fact that it was solid hardware and if your willling to root you get an amazing experience.

Sorry, I replaced it so I can't. It basically had a slight bit of light visible between the edge of the glass and the plastic corner.

This new one is definitely better although the vibration is much more audible. You can actually hear the haptic feedback.

Like when it's on a desk kind of vibrating sound?

words cant describe how stupid it is to have the unlock button on the back of your phone.

It's going back tomorrow. Damn icons and fonts are microscopic! I can change font size on certain apps but overall The fonts are just to damn small! Going to pick up the HTC Inspire. May not have all the feature but I can see it.

its positioned so you can swype your finger print to unlock it...its not that hard to just click in my opinion although i see how they should have put an addition lock button in a normal spot.

I love the device but I guess I am going to surrender and send it back. The high resolution makes it unusable. Even though its a beautiful screen its like its a 3inch screen in relation to icon and text sizes. A resolution that right belongs on a 4.3" or 4.5" screen.

I am really disappoint in the screen resolution making it soooo smallll. I don't know if its Motorola's issue or Google's but resolution's size still should leave the icons and text adjustable. I realize fints can be adjusted in some app. I ended up using Handcent for SMS but the native email app only lets you adjust the font when viewing the messages NOT the overview list.

Oh well back to my IPhone or to the Inspire (but its battery life sucks)

Inspire sucks all around I had one for 2 days and returned it. Battery Life sucks, reception sucks, and so on.

I thought this might be possible to change but never checked. It seems it can:

I never needed to do with with Launcher Pro or ADW on my Droid X. Then your post made me remember, I always change icon sizes for my PC monitor with its higher resolutions, or use a resolution that doesnt make them too small.

I just got this to replace my Samsung Captivate. The cappy was a good phone after I rooted it but still fell short in gps performance when it worked and the promised update to Froyo appears to be non-existent. The only thing I didn't like about this phone is the Moto blur interface it came with. I loaded Launcher Pro on here and no it is really nice. I don't plan on rooting it in the 30 day period of being able to take it back and if all works like it should I don't see the need to root at all. Let's hope this isn't another turkey.l

No, when you're holding it. When you have it on silent you can actually hear the feedback.

Froyo came out yesterday and there was a GPS fix included.

and, not that i have experience with this, but i wouldnt even try modding that phone at all. motorola locks their phones down, from what ive heard, and bricking is easy, while on the sgs phones its hard

Maybe you got a bad one; mine's been fine, and there's been few complaints as these things go. Just sayin'.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

I am also seeing light leakage around the right side bottom corner of LED.
Are others also seeing this? I don't know if this is a defect. Planning to
exchange it.

What you're describing here is called "backlight bleeding" in the monitors/screens world.

This image is an example of occurring backlight bleeding..

BTW, I don't see something like that in my Atrix.

Like this user over at the xda forums?

Bad build on my Atrix? - xda-developers

Coming from a 3GS, I will say my only complaint is the auto correct and predictive text, along with the keyboard itself. Take the responsiveness of the iphones keyboard and pair it with the Atrix's internals, and you will have, according to Charlie Sheen, a "winning" phone. But this will probably be fixed with gingerbread or some eventual ROMs.

I have absolutely NO regrets. My downloads and uploads go very fast, and I don't seem to have any of the problems that some here post about. Very happy!

 

[dressagerider]

NO regrets at all. I was a former droid user years ago and had terrible experiences with HTC phones. For a while I have had an iphone 3gs. I had an iphone 4 on trial and quickly switched to the Atrix and am so glad I did.

Iphones are great fun, but very locked down and I got bored with the very quickly. The atrix offers so much and will only get better with time as att techonology and the app market update to accommodate the advances in this amazing phone.

The atrix is super fast, very customizable, and mine takes beautiful pictures and video. The battery life is so superior to iphone. ANyone saying this phone is not fast must have a lemon or must not know how to set up and use the phone properly.

I have had so many smartphones over the years and this one is far superior to them all!

For me, everything is good. I come from hTC tattoo, a very small and cute phone, so everything is perfect for me.
However, there is one thing I have to say.
I cannot find a way to switch betwenn 2g/3g and also no way to turn off the data.
Does any one also have same issue?
