Default Import from USA and delete Motoblur?

Hey guys, i finally registered here too since this is an awesome side and you are doing an awesome job!

iam from germany thinking about importing the Atrix from USA. i got a few questions though:

1) it should work in germany since its quadband and supports 2100 right?
2) i really hate motoblur is it possible to delete it with the root? or do you have to crack the bootloader first? if it is possbile how is it going to start without motoblur?
3) anyone know a good webside where its really unlocked? i saw some unlocked phones on ebay (USA) but they say it uses AT&T 3G so iam worried its not really unlocked... or am i mixing something here?

thanks for help.
take care

from the specs here : http://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_atrix-3709.php it does support 2100 band, I'm not sure about deleting motorblur but others have rooted and installed other launchers fine. You can check out the themes section and look at other users UI. I have no clue on unlock..

You don't even need a root to install other launchers.

They're available in the Market under "LauncherPro" and "ADW Launcher".

But nobody knows the actual Unlock code yet...so getting a real unlocked Atrix might be tough.

just to make sure i understood it right. i can "delete" Motoblur as launcher and set another launcher instead of motoblur?

i think i found an ebay shop with unlocked Atrix... 800$ is pretty much though...

thanks for all your help.

you don't have to delete Motoblur to use another launcher. When you have another launcher in place, motoblur is still on the phone, it is just not being used. You wouldn't even know it is there.

I'm using LaucherPro Plus from the market and it works great with this phone. This can be done with or without root.

Nexus 7

i got you. thanks.

so why is everyone pi**ed about the Atrix then? Is it because of custom ROMS ?

edit:

i got another question please: if i buy the atrix in USA, can i set german as language?
