On my Nexus one I can turn 3G off, ie settings,wireless&networks, check"use only 2G networks".
This works well for me when in fringe areas to force 2G,(better voice quality).

On the Atrix2, is there a way to select 2G networks like the Nexus?
In the settings menu it is under settings,wirless&networks, Mobile Networks, Select network. That is as far as the menu goes as the select network tab is greyed out and just shows "automatic". If the Atrix 2 is provisioned correctly, would this give you the option to select 2G only?
 
Just checked, and I can't find that setting anywhere. Sad.

I often use the same trick on my Nexus One, especially at ball games, where 30 or 40 thousand of your closest friends are all on the network in the same place. 2G GSM punches thru the clutter that 3G can't.

There may be some secret codes that will give you this, but they locked it out of the menus.
