[Q] Atrix still bad?

[Zbor]

so it's been a few months since the last thread regarding how the atrix is.

I currently have a Inspire 4G and I'm debating on getting the Atrix.

You own it, I want to know about it! What do you think? Should I make the switch?

The answer to your question is entirely subjective.

Was it ever bad? Debuted a super phone?

It was good when it was locked, now that it is unlocked it is turning into a behemoth. Just wait until you see a polished CM7 rom on this thing.

it was never bad, otherwise this forum would be desolate.

If you are willing to unlock and flash custom ROM, its a beast.
If you have to live with the stock firmware, there's probably better options out there, unless you really hate 4.3 form factor.

put it to you this way the locked bootloader was why alot of people didnt care for it but the bootloader can be unlocked now and the custom rom train is going to pick up steam, as some one else said cm7 for one thing

It's better than the Inspire that I owned.

Don't listen to what they say in the Inspire forums. The Inspire isn't the best AT&T has and the Atrix is a lot better than what people think. It's a very nice phone.

Not trying to put the Inspire down at all--I just know because I've owned both of them. The Atrix beats it and the Nexus S that I have...

Honestly, it was never bad. As a stock device that was incapable of installing kernels, it was good. I still found myself using my Captivate while the bootloader was locked. Now that there's ROMs and kernels available, I haven't touched my Cappy at all.

wow! I wasn't expecting that many responses so fast!

I want to root the phone, play ff7 (of course) and ENJOY the phone.
I put a custom rom on my inspire so I don't see why I wouldn't put a custom rom on the atrix...

Trying to get the inspire back to "out of the box" state so I can return it.

The only issue I have with the inspire is running fpse and ff7. little laggy at times. hoping the dual core will remedy the issue.

hell, it's the same price and you get more internal memory, hdmi cable, and a better CPU..

I've never had any lag on any emulator I've tried. I don't think I've lagged once in a game.

Atrix is the best phone i've used, honestly. I wouldn't trade it for anything, except maybe SGSII.

Sure, it has some bugs and issues at the moment, but those will be fixed or bypassed eventually. Atrix has a great dev community.

Yeah CM7s pretty nice. It definitely makes this phone 10x better.

I'm running CM7 Pre-beta as daily use right now, with a few minor bugs, and it is sick fast.

Mine doesn't ever get hot.

The only time mine gets warm is if it's hot outside and I use GPS.

The only time my phone gets hot is when I'm using it with the car dock, where it's charging, playing Slacker/Pandora/Google Music, and sitting in the hot sun.
