Personally next phone for me would be quad-core or nexus.
Now that's just silly. Quad-core is barely utilized on desktops. Rather see a big bump in speed than more cores right now.
definitely not for me. I strongly believe that display size for smartphones should be no more than 4. There's been numerous discussions and articles about it and why it is inefficient to operate with one hand with a 4.3 or bigger displays. Aside of that fact, the Atrix 2 will have slightly bumped specs but again, not significant enough to consider it if you already own Atrix 1 and as I understand its NOT going to be an LTE phone. so I'm definitely skipping it. SGSII is a more appealing choice but then again I'm happy with what I have now and if I need a bigger screen I have my Ipad 2 with me.
I have the OG Atrix. I love it. Would I upgrade to Atrix 2, not at all. There is only a better screen, better (more megapixel) camera, no fingerprint scanner, smaller battery, no true 4G, same processor.
Why bother with this phone. If the OG Atrix is cheaper go with that or wait for Nexus.
A true successor would be Kal-El processor clocked at 1.5 maybe even 2. Fingerprint scanner. I could care less about camera. Better battery or power management. And ice cream sandwich.

When using the phone in landscape mode....you'll need both hands unless you have really, really long fingers...lol The only time I use it one handed alot is to swipe the notification shade or unlocking the phone. The ONLY time one handed use bothered me was with the notification shade. The amount of times I use it one handed are so few one-handed use is a non factor for me. I think if more ppl really paid attention, they would be surprised how little they use their phones one handed.
As far as the screen goes on the Atrix 2, yes, it is bigger. But, it has the same pixel count as the OG Atrix' 4" screen, so picture quality will actually go down ever so slightly on the 4.3" screen.
"And the screen has been stretched to 4.3 inches from the original Atrix's 4 inches. While more screen real estate is good, they both have 960x540 pixels, which means pixel density will actually be worse on the new bigger screen."
Aside from that, the differences are negligible. Personally I love the fingerprint scanner, and the camera takes pretty good pics already. I would like to have 1080p video, but soon enough I guess. So I'm staying put. Plus I'm only about 6 months into my contract....
