with the dual processors, do you think it will be able to have a workable thumbprint app that works and is not fake?
My friend has the Atrix and I have seen it used. First of all it is a fingerprint scanner (saying thumbprint scanner might confuse someone because it is not on the screen where you would think) and it is really quite interesting and it seems like an easier way to unlock rather thank swiping across the screen. The fingerprint scanner is at the top/middle slanting backwards and is also the button used to unlock it to turn the screen on after timing out/power button. I think it is faster than the other way but that is just my opinion.
It seems like it would be a pretty fast and convenient way of unlocking it, as long as it doesn't take a sec or two from lag. It's def a nifty idea.
I have the Atrix and the fingerprint scanner is more than just a gimmick; it works well and useful when you incorporate your corporate email, which requires a passcode. You can just use your fingerprint instead.
Every thumb print scanner I've used on a phone has been way too inconsistent and therefore much too annoying.
I also have the Atrix and am lurking around as I my perfect device would be a Atrix on Verizon with LTE support. As for the the finger printer scanner it works great for me. For those who don't want to use it just use another method of locking your device or not at all it's your choice it doesn't force you to use it.
