For the price, the atrix 2 is the best bang for your bucks !!!
I've tried many phone comparable to it, this is the best for my use : regular phone use, Internet browsing and gps.
I cant comment on games and benchmarks numbers though.
I even found the screen better than samsung galaxy s2 (I know I gonna be insulted, but I tried 3 galaxy s2 and an infuse).
I really don't know the fuss about samsung's super amoled.
I compared atrix2 and galaxy s2 with same videos and pictures. Set them both at Max brightness.
Well, the atrix2 is more vibrant in colors and brighter.
I found the galaxy s2 is too dark, outside with sunlight the atrix 2 is better.
Also I found that the galaxy has a green/blue tint which is unpleasing when displaying photos.
Internet browsing : they are all fast, but the atrix 2 is smoother to navigate and has sharper display.
Almost as smooth as iphone 4s.
Gps : I use a lot of gps for work, I used navigon, sygic, google nav. The best gps device in my opinion is iphone 4/4s. But the atrix 2 is close behind, very quick to lock and rarely loose gps signal. Htc's phone (sensation, vivid) are also very good. Samsung not very good, takes more times to lock.
For battery life the atrix 2, galaxy s2 and iphone 4s are pretty much comparable. A plus here for iphone, because when not in use there's not battery drain. Androids phone sucks battery even when everything is shut (data connection, wifi, sync....). Htc and lg phones are worst for battery life.
The atrix 2 last me a full day with my regular use : 10 minutes calls, a dozen of texts, 2 hours web browsing,1 hour gps.
Quality calls, the atrix2 is good but galaxy2 and iphone 4s are a tad clearer.
Camera quality : make a decent job a little behind iphone 4s and galaxy s2.
But good enough for facebook, birthday party and pictures in a bar or those type of stuff, no one will make a difference anyway.
I just wished the atrix 2 is little bit thinner, but not a deal breaker its still pocket friendly.
So, for anyone looking for a best bang for the bucks, go for the atrix 2. It ROCKS for the price !!!
As good as (even better) than galaxy s2 and iphone 4s. For 2x or 3x cheaper.
I'm running ics 4.0.4 and its super smooth,
And I paid it $120 !!!

My query for Indian Atrix 2 USERS..
My budget is around 18k, need a smartphone which has nice cam quality, smooth and gr8 looking user interface no lags and BATTERY backup is must. It should not be like normally what androids are famous for i.e. 24hrs.. even if we don't touch it.. it shouldn't be like that.
So my research and user reviews concludes Atrix2 and Nokia N8.
Need a good advice in choosing between them.
Thanx in advance...

ry, 22 Oct 2012After update my galleries of pics and ringtones keep disape... moretry taking out your memory card and connect it to pc using a memory card reader or something , and then copy the songs and pics to your PC , then format the memory card , try putting it back to the phone and put your pics and songs to the phone via usb , i'm not sure if this would help or not , just worth a try
but if you have any saved games or anything else importent on your SD you'll loose them too if you don't copy them also to your PC before formatting
Or just try putting another memory card and see if the same happens to that memory card. (make sure you put a memory card which wasn't used on another phone , (cause system files of the privious phone might make your atrix crash or something so use a memory card which wasn't used on another phone )

And nothing matters to me cause this's the best dualcore most affordable android ever ! :D and yeah the wifi is awesome now .And even if you're in a Low signal area your calls never drop ,
And now i'm using a 32GB micro SD , it also works nicely
just played GTA3 and Blood and Glory Games , didn't lag at all , was awesome :)

Whatever it is atrix 2's the BEST for its price , none others even come close.

ramesh, 19 Oct 2012I am about to buy ATRIX2. Iam Vodafone user in MUMBAI Any... moreDo not worry I have the Atrix 2 and it is working super with 2.3 and now with ICS , To be honest there are two roms in GB the previous one had no issues and the second one has network bug on Vodafone India. After the ICS there is absolutely no issues. Buy it as it is best value for money and the fastest to use in the class and has the best battery backup.

, but i use "rom toolbox pro" app , it worked well on GB and On ICS also it's working but after few mins the app stops working and that's the only thing i noticed but it's also not a prob to me as i only use it to Freeze and Defreeze apps
gaming is smoother than before on my atrix 2 now

After updating my Atrix 2 phone to ICS, noticed that it runs much better except when watching uploaded videos on Youtube. It does not have the same playback sharpness as it did before upgrading, probably due to adobe flash no longer available on the my device. There is the HQ symbol but no HD mode.Also cant watch live videos on Ustream and Youtube.

Play store games ran better on GB than this half cooked ICS and the sad part is we would not get JB even if our phone's not even a year old
