Atrix Functionality Review

Atrix - as a handset.

Motorola has clamped their own interface onto Android, and the handset does well relatively speaking in the confines of the software limitations.

Notably good: screen resolution and resizing which happens nicely through a "fuzzy" in motion snapping crisply to clear image and text when released, also good: connectivity to HSPA+/WiFi/BT is relatively quick, painless, and sticks when stuck.

Needs improvement: Onboard music application will skip to new tracks randomly at any point during playback. All music is thus far stored in internal memory, as I have not yet been able to locate a nice 32GB MicroSD locally (Though, I have my eye on a few online retailers, yes you ncix and tigerdirect!). Ditching the built-in Android app for Winamp did not fix this issue, even post-update.

Overall, the Atrix responds quickly with the exception of a few kinks that still need ironing out, keyboard sensitivity highest amongst them. Easily navigated GUI, and tight socialmedia integration with MOTOBlur, I am looking forward to the next round of the nitty-gritty of measurable down and up data rates.
