Thread: atrix

sigtau2001 2336680 I just bought the atrix a couple of days ago and i really dig it. i really liked my captivate but after the gps crap and the froyo deal i doubt i will get a samsung anytime soon. Im wondering whether i should trade my atrix for the htc inspire. some of the things i liked when i saw the inspire were the widgets and feel of the phone. best buy didnt have a demo inspire when i bought the atrix so i couldnt really compare the two. like i said i really like the atrix but want some honest feedback sans bias since i could trade this phone back in for the htc in the next 25 days

I would opt for atrix over inspire personally.

I dont *like* motorola per se..

but, atrix has the best battery life for any android phone yet + you already like it + two cores for the price of one..

With that said.. Inspire is a great phone from what I hear. All equates to personal preference.

i think im unbiased. ive been watching and reading about these three phones since viewing the CES event live while they were showcased publicly for the first time, wanting to make a solid decision myself that will last me two years. ive given my (limited) opinion in another thread, but one thing that might not be readily talked about is: the tech at my local AT&T store (sharp guy and historically reliable) said that only one of the CPUs is used for the phone. i have not found any write up on this myself. he said its not an application software or OS limitation that will eventually be addressed either. the other CPU is used for the laptop while docked. when you are using the phone, you arent getting two CPUs working for you. you should assume its a one CPU phone when you do your comparisons, especially if you never intend to dock it. this brings back into the forefront the other features that are important to you.

Quoted for truth

I am an iphone4 user. And thinking about getting the inspire or atria. Kind of leaning towards the atria though. As long as it can b verified to have a better reception than the iPhone. A lot of reviews indicate the atria and inspire are similar, but not sure why such a price difference at most online stores. For example Costco has the Atrix for $119 and the inspire for $49. Both for renewals and new contracts.

Because your paying for the extra core that you wont utilize
