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.

Welllll, as long as it drops by april i will have the HD Rocket then.....keeping my fingers crossed.
i guess it doesnt matter for you right, you will get the buy back policy no matter what working at bestbuy mobile right??
you lucky bastid.....
after really thinking about it this skyrocket is still kick ass ill just get a quadcore when my upgrade is available in December
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
yea i have an upgrade coming up around that time as well. but till then i am GOING to use my buy back if i can....then upgrade to the quad when it is released.....after reading our posts, i am officially a PHONE JUNKY.
i want them ALL!!!!
I'm still within my 30 day buyer's remorse period, but I don't think I care about an HD display enough to go back to my crummy old Motorola for a couple months.
When shopping for my phone I tried out a couple with HD displays, and I realized that kind of pixel density is kind of wasted on me. I can see the difference if I really squint, but I just don't care. I'd almost rather have the added gaming performance that comes with a lower res display.
Plus, there's going to be some Tegra 3 phone that I really want 3 months after that, and something even more awesome 2 months after that. The life of an Android owner is to get the very latest and greatest when you get your phone, and to have it stay the latest and greatest for about a week.
but it has a better display and is bigger.....even if just by .15 inches.
lol.......
again if its possible i will be getting it.......
That's awesome. But like some of you guys I'm gonna hang onto my skyrocket. My lovely wife is going to give me her upgrade in November as long as she gets my skyrocket. Thanks babe.

Is there fine print?

What's stopping me from adding 2 lines to my plan, getting 2 skyrockets or iphones for next to nothing, then selling them for $280 each, then buying out the contact on the 2 new lines, and pocketing $160? Am I missing some fine print?

Seriously? This is the worst idea ever. I know you need the money, but this is not the way to do it.
Like someone said, it's going to cost you $722 plus tax just to get them both off contract. You won't make a profit, period. That's even if you go for the iPhones because no one's going to buy a 3GS when it's about to be unsupported starting TODAY in like a few hours time. The iPhone 4 8GB is not worth it either when you can get the 16GB for the same price.
When people look to buy phones, they don't want them at retail prices, which is what you would have to do in order to make a profit.

Actually latest report I read said 3GS actually showed up on the leaked iOS6 file links.
*confirmed now
Seriously wish Android makers would steal this aspect from Apple. One of the biggest downsides to Android is most of the phones lose official support in 10-16 months. Apple is still updating 3GS after 3 years.

I need some advice about my upgrade!

Long story short, I broke my LCD trying to fix the digitizer. I ended up without a phone for a week while waiting for a whole new digitizer and LCD combined...
Worked fine for about a month or so but now is making the phone glitch to the point where its unusable besides voice actions.
I don't care about having the latest and greatest, but do you think around $200 for a used SGNexus is good for the money?
I ABSOLUTELY need unlimited data. Otherwise, I'd have the SGS3 by now...

I'd say go for it. Nexus is a great product IMO. I've heard other people say nothing but great things about that phone. Others may disagree but, who knows how your signal will be until you try it. Instead of upgrading my bolt I went and bought a Nexus 7 for 250.00 brand new. Couldn't be happier
