reghardware‘s review Edit Like Unlike

For now, you get the benefits of a phone data connection in a netbook form along with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and a full-blown browser. And when you want to be ultra mobile, then you have the Atrix phone which can be found along with its family of accessories on various cellco contract deals, which might help take the sting out of the cost of this curious combination.

The Atrix is a top-notch phone with a speedy processor. It handled everything we threw at it, including games, without any hesitations. With the Gingerbread operating system, the Atrix may well be the jack-of-all-trades that does many things and actually does them all well. The USD 100 price point with a two-year contract also adds to the attraction of the phone.

As a standalone phone, the Motorola Atrix competes well against the dual-core Android competition due to its high res screen, unique fingerprint scanner, great battery life and comfortable form factor, though is let down by a mediocre camera, some unnecessary interface tweaks and limited video support. As such, it rather depends which you prioritise. Add in its dock accessories, though, and it shines out brightly. There is something undeniably cool about having one device perform so many of your daily functions. Unfortunately these docks don't come for free and the lapdock in particular simply can't compete for functionality with a laptop, netbook or even tablet. If and when Android updates come that more comprehensively support it then it could be amazing but as it stands, it's a nice to have, not a must have.

For all its unique and clever stuff the Motorola Atrix doesn't quite hit the mark. The accessories add functionality, but they're expensive. The handset itself, despite some good features, failed to wow us. Perhaps Motorola needs to reconsider its Motoblur user interface.

To sum it up, the Atrix still stands as a worthy challenger to the brethren of existing and upcoming dual-core smartphones. With its speedy processor, we had no problems with its smooth performance, be it in day-to-day operations like surfing, navigation and even gaming. Aside its mediocre camera and fair battery performances, the Atrix still stands high on our list with its positive features.

The Atrix itself is a decent dual-core smartphone, one that doesn't sacrifice battery life for good looks, and with a handy fingerprint reader. If you're looking for a fast and practical Android handset then it would be a good buy. However, at present it's quite expensive at £35 a month on contract, and we're not convinced that its a better buy over far cheaper single-core handsets like the older Samsung Galaxy S, which can be got on contract for around £20 per month if you shop around.

The Motorola Atrix is a very powerful Android handset, one of the two fastest in the market right now. However, it is more than that: Motorola had the vision and the technical capabilities to give it a second “computer” personality. It is something that has been talked about in the industry for some time, but Motorola is the first company to create such a good implementation. It works well enough to replace a laptop for now, especially if you take the price of the laptop dock into account. The multimedia dock is a more affordable option to turn the Atrix into a computer.

An interesting do-it-all concept, but no matter how good the phone, it’s overshadowed by unconvincing and overpriced accessories.

Pocket-lint‘s review Edit Like Unlike

Many of the features that make the Atrix distinct are rolled into the accessory docks so it seems fair to cover those at the same time. As a phone then we feel that there are other devices that offer more excitement. Motoblur isn’t that engaging, but like LG and Samsung rivals, it’s relatively easy to step away from it and rely on the wholesome Android experience instead. But something about the Atrix doesn’t wow like some of it’s rivals. The hiccups with video formats, the display that’s begging to be a little more vibrant, the fiddling with the finger scanner and finish that isn’t quite tactile enough leaves us with the impression that Motorola have a little more work to do before the Atrix becomes the darling of consumer convergence. We love the fact that Motorola have really thrown themselves into the Atrix and time will tell whether the Lapdock is something that people really want. We’re not quite sold on the experience, but it’s certainly innovative and for some it will be an attractive proposition.

Motorola Atrix 4G from AT&TThe Motorola Atrix 4G is one of the finest phones ever created. It’s well-designed, with a sleek form factor and smooth metal backing. The hardware inside is cutting edge, with performance so fast you’ll find yourself using your phone more and more - and your notebook less and less. That’s one unforseen aspect of having such a fast device: it’s so nice to use that you simply use it more.

Well this is it. The Motorola Atrix 4G walked our death course and lived to tell the story. We didn’t like a couple of things about this droid, but they’re the usual Motorola shortcomings - the crappy camera and the attitude that if you stuff enough of the latest hardware inside you don't have to worry about getting the software right. But you know the old saying – put your money where your mouth is – the Atrix 4G does just that. It puts all its bets on the latest hardware and calls itself the most powerful smartphone in the world. Technically, this is kind of true, so enough said.

The Motorola Atrix doesn't stray too far from the norm once you look past its dual-core processor and fingerprint reader, but it is a slick, super-fast Android phone with good battery life. Anyone after a new Google Android phone with a big screen should definitely consider the Atrix; we just hope Motorola gives Atrix users the latest Android updates.

The Motorola Atrix 4G has a fantastic feature set that’s sabotaged by MOTOBLUR. With a price tag of $199.99 (at AT&T), the HTC Inspire 4G may be the better option.

I give Motorola credit for the idea behind the Atrix 4G and the laptop dock, but the execution is somewhat lacking. Fix the battery life and shore up the performance when connected to the laptop dock and the Atrix 4G could easily be used as a netbook/laptop replacement.

This dual-core phone is fast and boasts solid data speeds, but the Atrix-powered laptop accessory is a good idea poorly executed.

The Motorola Atrix is currently the most technically advanced Android phone – the webtop experience is brand new and worked well, even if it is a bit slow.

We’ve got to hand it to Motorola once again as they carefully planned and thought out every aspect of the ATRIX 4G. Is it revolutionary? We wouldn't go that far, but it's downright awesome! This isn’t just another high-end Android smartphone out there on the market, it dives into new territory and takes the leap of faith by adding in some interesting new functionality that unanimously chops down borders with its webtop app and optional docks. For $199.99 on-contract, this is hands down the best Android smartphone on AT&T’s lineup.

Motorola's Atrix 4G, the unique bleeding-edge superphone that can transform itself into a PC, shows how we'll likely be using our mobile devices in the year 2020. But to get a taste of the future, you'll have to pay, and deal with some bugs along the way.

The Motorola Atrix is an incredibly fast phone and after spending a day with this smartphone it makes it look twice at our Blackberry Bold 9000 and wonder why we still carry it around. We ran some benchmarks side-by-side with other Android devices and the Atrix ran circles around them.

The Atrix is a great phone, and if you're going to be getting an Android on AT&T, you should be getting this one. Its high resolution screen, fast dual core processor and decent battery life smells great for Android folks.

SlashGear‘s review Edit Like Unlike

If there’s one thing the Motorola ATRIX 4G shows, it’s that there’s no shortage of innovation in the smartphone market. The Laptop Dock may be expensive – and Palm may have previewed the idea with the Folio, and Redfly even attempted to commercialize it with the Celio – but Motorola deserves some kudos for bringing it to market and to a major carrier. There’s certainly no shortage of geek appeal, and the HD Desktop Dock is similarly useful, but right now the Webtop interface falls short of what a simple, WiFi-tethered netbook would deliver. The HD Desktop Dock is good, but its core abilities are readily served with a far cheaper HDMI cable. Early adopters can probably justify one or both, but mainstream users will likely want to wait for Motorola’s engineers to finesse the experience.

MobileBurn‘s review Edit Like Unlike

As a standalone product, the ATRIX 4G is compelling and decent enough to check out if you're in the market for a new phone that's got the most processing power possible on a U.S. smartphone today. But with a dated MOTOBLUR experience, and sub-par camera, phone, and data experience, it's just not as mind blowing as I had wished it would be.
