Default Do I Keep This?

I just signed up with sprint and bought the EVO. I also purchased the atrix a few days ago off amazon and it should be here monday. My question is should I keep the EVO or Return it and keep the atirx? I know the atrix is a faster and a better phone but I get unlimiited data with sprint and I also get a 27.27% off my monthly sprint bill through my employer where AT&T will only give me 12%off. So I guess my question, is it worth it do give up my unlimied data and huge discount to get the atrix on AT&T?

I would base your decision on mobile coverage and the monthly plan. The Atrix, from what I've read, is a superior phone to the EVO. I have the Atrix and love it, but have never owned an EVO. To me, the EVO is just too big a phone. Now, you might be able to work with AT&T to give you an unlimited plan that matches up with your current Sprint plan if the company you work for has a premier relationship with AT&T, in which case, I'd say Atrix all the way!! I've been with AT&T for 16 or more years as a premier business customer, so I've been able to maintain my unlimited data from device to device without any problems. I just moved from a 3GS to the Atrix....the experience is a lot different....some things great, some things not so great.

I have both also but I bought the EVO on launch weekend last June. I'm keeping the EVO for my 30 day return policy and then I'll switch my number if I like the atrix enough. So far so good (though I'm too lazy to walk out and get the atrix from the kitchen right now lol).

I have both the EVO and the Atrix. I had the EVO since it came out last summer. I love the EVO except for the sheer bulk of the phone and the battery lasts about 6 hours of normal use for me. The Atrix is smaller and is faster and has extreme potential as far as Dev stuff goes and roms if they can figure out the locked bootloader. I should be getting the laptop dock next week sometime.The Atrix battery lasts about 27 hours of normal use for me. That is a HUGE difference between the EVO and Atrix. Anyway it all comes down to preference. What is just right for me might be not so right for you...... so play around with both and see which one fits your needs better! :)

The evo is a perfect size. I love mine. And a week into my billing cycle and I've used over 200 megs. Hopefully I'll break a gig this month. But there is nothing the Atrix can do that the evo can't. And swype rocks!

I don't think the EVO can read fingerprints and hit 2500+ on quadrant. But I do love sprints cellphone plans.

You coming into my thread and posting useless help=Fail. If that's how you feel and you have nothing positive to add to the thread why even comment? Just keep it moving and leave it alone because you didn't accomplish anything by saying what you said did you?
