On its own, the $199 Motorola Atrix 4G is among the top phones in AT&T's lineup. Its bright and crisp screen, powerful processor, and fingerprint reader mark it as a remarkable Android phone. Likewise, the $499 Laptop Dock shows real innovation on the part of Motorola. quote

The Atrix 4G might be our favorite Android device that we've tested. It's got specs that run laps around most other devices. We're not saying the phone doesn't have its issues -- and we're really not big fans of Motorola's skinning -- but this is a powerhouse of a device in a sleek package.

The laptop dock is a decidedly cool (and pricey) feature, but the dual-core Motorola Atrix 4G has plenty to offer on its own. The smartphone packs speed and high-end features into a sleek package and earns its place at the top of AT&T's Android lineup.

The Motorola Atrix could be the start of a revolution ... Hopefully, it isn't the end. The Atrix's bugs and frustrations, still numerous even with the latest OS update, mean it isn't a smartphone for beginners. But for the adventurous, the Atrix simply does what no other smartphone does.

Until then [Ice Cream Sandwich] you'll have to be willing to put up with some random slowdowns and general weirdness every once in a while if you pick up the Atrix. Only you can decide if that's worth it.

The ... ATRIX 4G is a very impressive product that brings an impressive set of accessories and peripherals to market. Looking at the phone specifically, it’s a feature-packed Android 2.2 device that has a vivid ... screen, and a screaming fast ... CPU making it the fastest phone in the market.

I had it for about 20 days, and returned it because I was addicted to the retina display. I found it kind of sluggish, even though it had a dual core processor (more than likely because of Motoblur). I just don't think I was ready for Android at the time. I just ordered a Samsung Galaxy S II,...

This is a great phone. It's powerful and functional. My only gripe with the device is the preloaded software that Motorola feels they need to put on the device. There are many problems and bugs that I run into that I know are caused by the Blur software. As an android fan it makes me sad to know...

If it wasn't for moto blur and the fact that the dam boot loader is locked this phone would be awsome. At this point in time of writing i would say dont touch this get a galaxy s 2.

I recently bought this as an upgrade for my partner for £150. While she doesn't need the latest and greatest smartphone she badly needed something fast, and up to date features with good battery life. Even though this phone was released in about Feb 2011 in the US and about 6 months later in...

I love this phone. Its a powerful little device and my computer is about to divorce me for neglect. I was never big on using a cell phone for the web/emails/gaming etc but this phone has changed my mind about all of that. Its super fast and I'm not finding it hard to find apps to cover my...
