ATRIX, ATRIX 2 And Droid RAZR

Post by Havok »

Can someone give me the skinny on the upgrades from the ATRIX to the ATRIX 2 and how the new RAZR stacks up to them?

I know there are reviews and sights for this sort of thing but I don't know all the lingo and have a hard time sorting through the BS. They often seem to not actually answer my questions as well.

The Atrix 2 has a different processor than the Atrix, although it's clocked at the same speed. It's a little bigger than the Atrix as well.


The RAZR is thinner and lighter than the Atrix and Atrix 2, has the same screen size as the Atrix 2, has a LTE radio(for Verizon's network) and has the fastest clocked processor of the three. You cannot change the battery.


Thinking about trading in your original Atrix?

Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."

Yeah. Loved my old RAZR and Jenn's phone sucks, so I was gonna give her my ATRIX and maybe get the 2 or the new RAZR.

So the battery can't be changed in the RAZR. Any news on the life? I get a day on my ATRIX with heavy texting and Ebay use and mild internet browsing, but not much else.

I do always keep a charger in my cut, so it's not really and issue. Is that the only drawback on the RAZR in your opinion?

Well, since it has a LTE Battery I doubt it'll run as long as the Atrix without charging. But otherwise that's the only drawback, yeah.

Also,Unless you import a Furrin RAZR it won't work on AT&T's network. It's a Verizon(CDMA/LTE) phone in the states, although Canadian and European versions work on the same bands as AT&T.
