Default Got my Atrix HD

Just picked one up locally from someone who said they got it at Walmart. He decided to stick with his SGS3. I'll post pics in a bit.

You lucky duck. I actually did the opposite and sold my GS3 to get this. Love the better design & build quality of motorola and REALLY like the futuristic on-screen nav like the Gnex has. DId you get the white or titanium? Pics yay!!

So wait, he had a GS3, got the Atrix HD a week later then gave it less than a day before getting rid of it? Just....wow.

So, real quick first impressions. Phone is quick. No delay in doing anything. Screen is really nice. Bright and colorful. Camera takes about 5-10 years to take a picture. Battery life right now is going pretty quick, but hopefully that will level out. Blur isn't nearly as intrusive as it used to be. It's a combination of Blur and stock ICS.

Not too sure how I feel about the phone yet. I like it, but do I like it enough to keep it for a while. Don't know yet.

Hey man, I'll tell ya what: I will trade you your new Atrix 3 for my LG Thrill. I know, I know, that's not a fair trade because (as we all know) the LG Thrill is the best smartphone currently in existence. It's your lucky day. You're welcome.

but seriously, PM me if you aren't keeping it, I would be interested in buying, and depending on where you live in NY I might be able to pick it up from you in person.

If you decide to keep it, then enjoy, it looks like quite a beast. I just wish they made the battery a little more like the razr maxx, because thickness never bothered me, but I love long-lasting (that's what she said).

Yah it looks the closest to stock ICS compared to the other skins(sense, touchwiz etc) I just wish they'd leave the icons how they look on the Gnex then it would be really close to stock 4.0.4. Really looking forward to checkin out that screen. Can't wait to see it tommorow!

Talking First impressions

i picked up my atrix hd yesterday and had a day to play with it
my first impressions:

icecream sandwich baby!!! runs like a butter!! cant wait what jellybean gonna feel like
Very little skin on top!!! almost stock... and that circle widget is awesome
build quality is good and it feels great on ur hand
holly cow the speakers are loud.... and call quality is very clear. One of the best smartphone i have ever had for call quality!! i usually get 1 bar of at&t coverage in my house but boy i had no problem calling and receiving calls(my iphone used to fail a lot)
did i mention FASTTTTTTTTTTTT before..
i benchmarked over sgs3 and HTC one x on quadrant...
i got around 1374 on sunspider java test... now thatz fast....like seriously fast... stock web browser can handle any thing u throw at it like a cake!! compare that to iphone 4's 5000 and 4s's 2500..(coz i have both of them). Now all this scores and all sounds really good but i really go by realtime performance and user experiences... and this phone comes out with flying colors.
Bluetooth 4.0 is gr8 and 4g LTE(AWESOME)

screen looks gr8 but not as good as hd lcd 2 screen...brightness could have been a bit high... but 720p for $99 not complaining
battery life can be better and it takes like 3 to 4 or more hours for charging!!!
it doesnot have physical home button but uses onscreen ones now that can be hit or miss for some... i personally like it but one annoying thing abt it is while u r playing games those buttons are still visible and u can accidently press it... but while watching media and all it tugs away for clean experience.
Man camera sux!!! sorry for bad news but yeh itz motorola and u get same quality camera as last gen smartphone!!! with icream sandwich u can take pictures with almost no shutter lag and take pics while recording video.. jus use the camera to take picture or video outside in proper sunlight...if u r lokin for camera Smartphone... this is not ur phone!!
No NFC!! and who cares!!!

overall great phone for the price point!!! if u want the latest and greatest specs and dont want to pay premium price point then jump right into it.. u wont regret it!!!
