Motorola Atrix HD (titanium, AT&T)

Pros: Screen size and vibrant colors

Cons: No MotoBlur, Does not have a home center screen, UI is not intuitive or user friendly, Battery is NON-removable therefore Phone will brick if it locks up (this happened to me in the aforementioned timeframe!)

Summary: I got this phone through insurance replacement. I had the original Atrix when the WiFi and Bluetooth radios stopped working and would crash the phone when I tried to restart them. I took the phone to my ATT store to be activated due to the ATRIX HD takes a microSIM card and the Atrix 1 has a full size card. They had problems just getting the sim card into the slot. They activated the phone but the rep wasn't fully familiar with the setup of the phone. The phone requires an online setup process to enable certain features such as authorizing the phone to work on ATT wifi networks commonly found at businesses like McDonalds, Sams Clubs, etc.

Just 18 hours after the phone had been activated I was using the Google Maps app for navigation and I noticed that the screen had suddenly turned off. I tried to get it to respond but it would not. I had just fully charged the phone so the battery was good. I plugged it back in and the green light indicating a full charge came on, but that was the extent of its indications of any life. I took it back to the ATT Store and they said that they couldn't fix it and I would have to file a THIRD claim through Asurion.

Bottom line, this is not a good phone! I probably could have fixed this phone in the time it takes to take the cover off pull out the battery and stick it back in. That is if the phone had a removable battery.

The phone took 3 or 4 days for the battery to completely run down and thereby reset the phone. This was essentially a battery removal that took way too long. The phone is back up and running but is not receiving any data at all where I have full bars. I have noticed that this phone's voice reception and quality are poor. Also the wifi on this phone is very temperamental. The wifi will turn off on its own at random and will not remember any more networks since the phone locked up.

Bad Design - Non-removable battery
Bad Performance - Voice, Data, Wifi
Defective phone
