Just picked up my Atrix as my newest Android device. Curious how others are feeling about this device. Let me hear what everyone has to say!
So far it's my best phone. Previous similar phones, iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 (all 4 jailbroken), and rooted Captivate.
Got my eye on the Infuse, though... May need a second phone.
The Atrix does what I want it to, faster than any of my other android phones, the four inch high resolution screen is the perfect size for me and it has very good battery life. What's not to like?

I see your running the Ginger root. Any issues with that? Havent rooted mine yet b/c ive been in a hotel and just now getting back to my MacBook.
The only "problems" I've encountered were probably errors on my part. After the installation, I unplugged the cord to the charger BEFORE the phone had completely rebooted. When I got to the GingerBlur desktop (I was coming from GingerGrey), I found that I had no access to CWM Recovery and had lost the ability to sideload apps of Unknown Origin. For the first problem, I simply clicked on Install Recovery in the System Recovery app in the drawer. It reinstalled, and I was good to go. For the second problem (side-loading), I ended up downloading an app from the Market which was a one-click app the reinstalled the ability to install non-market apps.
As I said above, I think that both problems were caused by my pulling the plug on the charger *before* it had completed rebooting. Dumbness on my part, as I *know* better than to do something like that. All in all, GingerBlur v3.5 is a pretty good Atrix rom.

Cool cool. Im going to research the Atrix root options and probably root here in a few hours.
It may be an easier installation if you grab "non-market apps enabler" from the market first. It costs $1.69, but totally automates the enabling. Plus, it works on non-rooted phones too. It will enable you to install GingerBreak as a system app, and that is one click root.
HTH,

I do have gorilla hands.
I've played with it at the AT&T store, love the screen, but I don't wanna give the Atrix up for it.
I really liked the Atrix. My only complaints were the screens colors and the locked bootloader. I would have kept it but my phone never rang because atts network sucks in my area.
Hello people. I have a question. Can I open office documents using the laptop dock? Can I plug in pendrives on the usb ports and whats its content on the laptop?
