Atrix or iPhone

It's a personal thing, I think. I think Android is a very powerful OS, but for the iPhone suits my needs better. That's why I'm trading my Atrix back for an iPhone 4 tomorrow.

I use iWork on a MacBook Pro, and not being able to view Pages documents or Keynote presentations is extremely annoying. I can't view QuickTime movies either, which is what my school uses when teachers post videos online.

I also can't get past the little bugs that Android has. Random reboots, screen freezes, the capacitive buttons randomly stop working, etc. This isn't just an Atrix thing. My old Droid did it as well. And my Android-using friends with other brand phones have similar issues.

Don't get me wrong. I know that iOS has its own issues as well (crappy notifications especially). But, for me, the stability and reliability of the iPhone outweighs the increased functionality of Android. I want to be in and out of my phone as quickly as possible. I thought that widgets would make Android better at this. But when I pick up my phone only to find it has turned itself off, that slows me down significantly.

Again, I'm not an Apple fanboy. In fact, my favorite OS is webOS, and I will definitely be tempted by the Pre 3 when it arrives. But until then, I prefer iPhone. And that's the point... preference. Both are great operating systems. Use which one works best for you.

Flame away. :-P
 
I hate(d) AT&T with a passion but I'm seriously considering picking the Atrix up. The find the iPhone to be...okay. Honesty being an Android phone junkie I'm quite jealous of the sheer multitude of games that the iPhone has on it, particularly Gameloft games. The iPhone gets all of the games first and even get some games and/or versions of games that don't make it to Android (Madden anyone?)... I never had any experience with Motoblur but with the time that I've managed to play with the Atrix (commission-hungry AT&T employees were bugging the @#$% out of me lol) I liked it and it made me see Motor in a different light than the impression that I had gotten from the ever-aggressive Motoblur critics. Motoblur didn't make the Atrix as smooth as the iPhone but but it was smooth enough...smooth enough to make me go play with an Atrix everytime I get near an AT&T store. The Atrix was the first phone that I could see myself sticking with at least a year... With the iPhone 4 you have to worry about "deathgrip" and hold it a certain way; a blunder on Apple's part, a real low... All in all, I would be more satisfied with the Atrix. The battery life is terrific per reports I've read and the size of the battery. Tegra 2-optimized apps make the dual-core processor a factor... There is no such thing as a perfect phone but with timely updates from Moto/AT&T, innovative accessories, a dual-core processor great battery life, and a beautiful screen, the Atrix seems to be as close as one could get right now.
