Not to give up on a decent phone, Motorola went back to the Atrix, tweaked it, and released the Atrix 2 in October. Most notably, the screen had some issues and the MotoBlur interface was almost universally panned.

The Motorola Atrix was one of the first dual-core phones of 2011 and remains a solid choice if you’re looking for an Android smartphone on AT&T, but we found out that it had a few downsides too. It could be a useful accessory in the future, but for now its price doesn’t match up to its limited functionality. If you’re hankering for a speedy phone, the Atrix is a good bet.

It’s expensive, and you’ll have to add on a $20 per month for AT&T’s mobile hotspot feature (on the plus side, this will enable you to connect four more gadgets to the Internet through your Atrix). Without the Atrix plugged in, the dock does nothing. The dock is great for checking e-mails and visiting websites, and you could use it for some work, too. The dock’s main appeal is that it includes the Firefox Web browser, allowing you to surf the Web uninhibited by the limitations imposed by the phone’s smaller display. With the Atrix attached to the dock, a small “mobile view” on the dock’s screen shows you what’s on your phone’s screen - you can use this to access phone functions like making or answering calls or sending text messages, which is neat. Oddly, the dock doesn’t have a front-facing camera, so you can’t use it for video chats. Because the dock has its own battery, it can charge the Atrix while they are attached. There are two USB ports and a standard headphone jack. The dock has a bright, crisp screen that measures 11.6 inches diagonally, a full-but-slightly-cramped keyboard and a large touchpad. Once I plugged the Atrix into the laptop dock, I entered a combination phone-netbook experience, which gave me more functionality than with the handset alone but not as much as I’d have with a dedicated laptop.

The phone is rated for up to nine hours of talk time, and in a day that included much multitasking and streaming a full-length animated movie from YouTube over Wi-Fi, the battery held up well. I expected long battery life, especially with AT&T claiming that you can watch two full-length movies in a row on a single charge. You’ll also need to snag an app such as Qik if you want to video chat with a friend: The Atrix has a front-facing camera, but it doesn’t include video chat software.

And there are only a handful of settings and color effects, so if you want to get creative you’ll need to download a camera app. Photos were crisp, but colors didn’t really pop. The 5-megapixel camera on the Atrix’s back wasn’t impressive. Like a growing number of phones, the Atrix can play Flash videos - something the iPhone can’t do. When streaming YouTube content, such as Nicki Minaj’s “Moment 4 Life” music video, I didn’t feel as if the colors were as warm as they could have been, though. The phone’s display is clear and bright, with good viewing angles that would make it useful for sharing video clips with a friend. My mom, a frequent target of my test calls and sharper critic of sound quality than I am, even said that the Atrix sounded “pretty good for a cell phone.” But in my office, where AT&T’s reception is spotty, I had to try several times to get a call to go through. Not surprisingly, call quality at AT&T Park was also excellent. At my office or home I wouldn’t even attempt to stream content over AT&T’s network as service is unreliable. There, the phone streamed videos as flawlessly as if I were on my home Wi-Fi network. The Atrix works on AT&T’s upgraded 3G network, HSPA+, so to try it out I walked to AT&T Park, where the San Francisco Giants play. Considering its processing power, I was miffed to see the Atrix is currently running version 2.2 of Google Inc.’s Android operating system, Froyo, rather than the newer Gingerbread version, whose faster performance and better on-screen keyboard would match well with the Atrix.
