As someone who owns both, I would recommend you stick it out and wait for the magic of an unlocked bootloader and custom ROMs to unlock the full potential of this phone and its dual-core CPU.
Compared to my Inspire, the battery life, lighter weight, better call quality, better antenna, and what seems to be crisper screen make my move from one to the other worth it.

I came from an Inspire, don't trade for it.... I love HTC phones, but I had a ton of oddities, with it.
There are a ton of things that can be done with out an unlocked bootloader, even ROMs, this phone has only been out a little over 60 days, hang tight there will be a ton of great things for this phone.
If you must trade for a mid line phone think about a used sgs, or an Infuse. If you really want a TOP end then go for an unlocked galaxy nexus.
Otherwise hang tight, and use bloat freezer, for the bloat on this phone, it is not bad for a stock build. If you don't like Blur, go get ADW launcher or Go Launcher Pro, or something like that.

I hope you're asking for cash on top. The Atrix 2 is a far better device compared to the Inspire. Not to say the Inspire is a bad device, but the Atrix 2 has far better specs compared to the Inspire. Good luck.

Don't do it.

I can't say that I'm jumping ship, but since my Atrix 2 is stuck in a bootloop and probably will be until the bootloader gets unlocked, I just ordered an Inspire from GreenCells to get me by in the meantime. As soon as the Atrix gets unf*cked though, you can bet I'll be switching back.

I've had so many f**king problems with this thing it insane. I've exchanged this phone 3 times at best buy cause of the same problems and once w/ AT&T. I don't know if I can deal with the same problems again. Such as screen scrambling "like snow on a TV" also random reboots, just to name a few. there are a lot more things I'm having go wrong.

Instead of choosing the inspire and you don't like the ATRIX 2 then see if they'll exchange for the sgs2. I had a nexus s they exchanged for the ATRIX 2. It could happen....maybe.....

I have a question... I have a Stock Atrix2, its doing all kinds of Crazy stuff, Im pissed off now, they announce a fix for the verizon Droid Slopzor, its been out 15th the time Atrx 2 is out. Its also suffering from many of the same things. I think the Atrix 2 should have been fixed or both at the same time.
Question: Does XDA have a Native Mail app similar to what Motorolas Native app can do, has a select all, and undo tab, dumping trash is a pleasure or in any folder..one click your done.?

I have an inspire I will trade right now I also have an atrix 1 love it been wanting a atrix 2

they may offer you another atrix 2. i wouldnt hesitate to do it if they dont give you a different phone. lemons do happen although very rare but it does happen.

Unless you got your phone online or over the phone, they aren't going to send you another phone, let alone an upgrade. If you got the Atrix 2 from a store, you're going to have to take it back to the store. If you've had the phone for more than a month, they will tell you to call warranty exchange to get a refurbished replacement, but not before spending copious amounts of time troubleshooting first. If you have been with AT&T for a long time, without any shutoffs, or a late payment history, you can try the "I'll cancel my service" routine, which usually doesn't work, because you will still have pay an ETF. Basically, they own you until your contract expires. It sucks, but that's how AT&T rolls.

Best is very subjective. It would depend how you use your phone. Someone who uses their phone for media will look for something different than someone who needs their phone for calls and reading emails and needs it to last all day on one charge.
I need a phone that gets better than average reception because of where I live.
That being said, the Samsung Galaxy 3 will be tough to beat.

Dude, get the SGS 3..... I am waiting for mine to show up on my door on Monday.
Right now I think it is THE phone to have.

Atrix 2. Even though the bootloader is locked the phone is stable and excellent battery life.

Will u be leaving the a2 for sgs3? Or making the a2 a back up?

I recently moved from the atrix 2 to the galaxy nexus. I am loving it. I still have my atrix though as a backup.
Personally with exception to the camera, the phone is overall just better. The camera is only 5 megapixels but at the same time the colors on Samsung cameras are so much more vibrant than on the moto cameras.
That and I am loving ics on this. Its pretty. Made by Samsung but no touchwiz with no rom flashing is nice as well.

Backup smackup.... I will be using the A2 for straight up dev work & hacking and cracking of the bootloader, also hoping to find a way to get AOSP/AOKP going on this thing...
I already have a kernel and CM9 built for the SGS 3, so I should not have a whole lot of dev work on that phone... that is the thing about the Galaxy phones, they are a dream to develop for.

Who's doing Jelly Bean First?

I'm sure it will come along shortly enough, curious as to who will take the lead on this one.

Me too...... I was wondering the same cuz the devs at A500 are already at work it seems

They spent 900 bucks plus airfare to get to IO I don't think anyone will touch Jelly Bean until source is released in mid July. SDK ports are buggy as all get out and nothing more than proof of concept. We still won't have a fully functional ROM until LG releases ICS source. On the bright side, drivers should be able to be ported from ICS to JB, until GB to ICS.

i see Paul at modaco.com already has JB rom w/kitchen for the galaxy nexus the G2x versions will be uber gimped due to lg's inability to release the source to the dev community. reason why i sold my g2x for a gnex and haven't looked back.

I want to get an s2 but I have a problem spending around $400 for a used phone with the possibility of the IMEI being potentially locked due to the seller NOT paying the hardware payments for the device to Tmobile.

Someone needs to tell the idiots on craigs list to stop asking more than 350 for their used, potentially screwed over Nexus'.

nope! its a nexus brand so it will get updates first since google is handling the code/updates directly. i assume google has the source for the kernel and of course resources/connections with nvidia. whereas lg just wants to sell more phones than update older ones (prev g2x owner).
thats why i love the pure google nexus phones

Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app

Haven't the previous Google direct Galaxy phones been outdated rather quickly? Maybe not outdated, but left behind in terms of OTA's and things like that?
I mean, people will argue the galaxy s2 is a better phone than Nexus...and now the s3 just came out! For one (only one?) of the only devices to come pre-packaged with ICS, it seems to lack certain functionality and features that carrier specific phones have.

There is a dude I work with who has the Galaxy Nexus and loves it, in person the thing is beautiful...probably one of the nicest phones I've seen, well, besides the white Galaxy s2. I have a thing for phones that are all white, super clean looking, and I hate putting cases on my phones.
I baby my g2x, I have one of the LG branded ones that isn't directly related to a carrier. At my desk, that thing never sits on the direct surface, only on a stack of post-its, haha.

Looking to join the MOTO family. Any advice?

Hi, im on the verge of a deal for the sale of my galaxy note.
Im looking to get an atrix 2. I like the look of the lapdock. Hows the UI on that thing?
Question is........where can I get one in the uk and how much should I be paying for a new one and how much for a mint second hand one?
And the atrix 2 doesnt even show up on the product list on the motorola uk website!?
Thanks in advance.

Read the beginner's guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396650) to get an idea of where development for this phone is first. Locked bootloader (with no change in sight), an ICS update which has been moved from Q3 to an indefinite point in the future - it seems like Moto is trying to let this phone quietly die. If you're okay with that then sure, go for it... personally, I would opt for something made by a different company.

Locked down bootloader!
Enough said. I will give it a miss.
Thanks.

Glad I could help... I wish I had known when I bought the phone.

We are not getting Jelley bean, but....

We will get the 100 dollar upgrade toward a RAZR maxx HD.

BTW, I am not recommending or condoning this, just sharing. I might do it just to see what the RAZR maxx HD is like but, we will see.

The rebate program is a joke. I own three eligible phones but the offer is only valid in the USA.

Read the article again, it says that it is only in the us right now but, they will be expanding it to other areas soon.

Isn't the RAZR Maxx HD a Verizon phone only?

You can always get the Atrix HD
Sent from that Atrix.

Well this a good place to cross-link threads: the Support My Moto Campaign - I see a few of us have already been over in that thread... not sure what we will really get out of this, but it's a good consolidated effort I suppose.
And, what you all talking 'bout? We already got some jelly beans for our phone (cm10 - pretty good start, so far) - and, I am pretty optimistic that we will get some other flavors of JB too.. so, I guess the news is not so disappointing.
On the other hand, I will be taking advantage of Moto in any way I can, so gimme that 100 virtual bucks!
Probably use it for my wife's A2 - she don't need unlocked bootloaders - heck, she wants me to put her back on GB after a week of ICS
Moto seems to make good quality phones/handsets.. but I will most likely move on to another manufacturer and keep my A2 as a backup.
Edit: We are on that list, but the plain ol' RAZR (xt910/912) is not?!? That's just wrong...

So is Motorola gonna pay for me to switch from at&t to Verizon? Otherwise that means nothing to the at&t crowd...

Yea man. The best way to do it, if you WANT a phone, save up the money and pay what you have to. Contracts get way out of hand when it comes to the small things. I'm currently tied down myself, but not for much longer. I'll most likely keep the A2 as a back up though since its still a very good piece of hardware AND I've grown quite fond of my A2 community (good people). And, honestly, I may or may not go with another Moto phone. It just all depends.
But all in all, this whole deal with Moto really doesn't bother me as bad as others are bothered. I mean come on, this phone is the shiz, and Moto really does make great phones. Its just from a developers point of view where things get sour.
Yes I went off topic a bit, but sometimes its needed for others to read and relate to.
