[Contribution] Buying extra Motorola Atrix phones for ROM creator devs

---

Greetings everyone,

Well, Please know that I'm just placing an idea here and it's up for discuss before executing.
We (Users) sometime see those new atrix roms posted here and we think.. Oh! I don't want to flash a new rom now because I need my phone up and running or because we don't have the time.. But... I was just thinking then how it is for the devs??!

I'm talking especially about Ririal and Kennethpenn. Wouldn't it be easier and more convenience for them to have another Atrix phone beside theirs to crap the hell out of it testing new things for next rom changes and added features for all of us? + It still makes a nice gift for all the great work they have done here for all of us.

I was thinking that a new off-contact Atrix 4G at amazon wireless costs $600 USD.

So if we said each contribution is $20. then we need 30 donations each to buy an Atrix. 60 to buy two, for Riral and Kennethpenn.

That is just one suggestion on how donations are divided. I'd like members opinions as well Riral's and Kennethpenn's response about the idea.

Thanks.

I think its a great idea/gesture. I just wish I had done money to donate. Switching jobs now. Hopefully I'll be able to contribute soon.

I would much rather get it into the hands of people like Quarx, who are working on 2nd Init or the Devs who think they might have a chance to bypass or crack the bootloader. Like the guy that cracked the Xperia X10 bootloader.

I'm with you on this one. Most of the guys here probably have a backup phone to use if things go downhill while deving.

What a nice gesture, guys. This is really kind of you to think about.

However, I strongly reject the idea that any Atrix devs need an extra phone. With the exception of kholk, who is working hard on the bootloader (if he's still working on it), none of us are at risk for bricking our devices. Save your money or donate to the themers and MOD creators instead.

He has a dev atrix and a couple of guinea pigs already, still actively working on it.

well i want to get the evo 3d but im stuck on a 2 year contract so if I sell the phone for 600 i can pay 300 to cancel contract and 200 for the evo 3d...hm oh wellz. XD

Best ROM developer on Xperia X10 and since x10 has an locked bootloader I think atrix is like this phone.

Almost all bootloaders are locked. Its the signing/encrypting that is the problem not the lock.
