I have an ATRIX 2 and I am going to return it for the SGS II once I've had 3 bad A2 phones. I've had two bad A2's so far and I have to have had 3 bad phones before AT&T will let me have a different brand of phone.
The day after I got my 1st A2 it lost data completely and it had to be set back to factory presets for the data to work again.
My first and now the second ATRIX 2 keeps losing apps every time I restart the phone. This is a known defect with the phone (and a couple of other Moto phones) and Motorola is not stepping up and acknowledging that there is a problem. I have no doubt that the 3rd phone will have the same problems. There are people posting on the Motorola forums on the Motorola website about this problem and there has been no response from Motorola at all and you know that someone from Motorola is monitoring those forums.
On Wednesday, 10-26-11, I ended up having to contact Motorola to see if they knew of a fix due to the fact that the AT&T person did not know crap. The AT&T warranty person had me delete the data from 3 non-paid apps and then told me to reinstall the apps. I kind of laughed and told them that the data simply removed the settings I had made to the apps and didn't delete the apps from my phone. They put me on hold and then came back and said they had done all they could and I had to contact Motorola directly. (there were a few other things that the AT&T person had me do, but none of them really addressed what was wrong with the phone).
The Moto guy made me set the phone back to factory defaults AND then made me create a completely new Gmail account because he said my Gmail account was to blame. That is so much BS!
I finally got all of my apps put back on the phone last night (11-27-11) and restarted the phone last night and the phone lost apps right away. I restarted the phone twice last night and again this morning, and each time I've restarted the phone since, the phone has lost more and more apps.
This has been THE single worst experience I have ever had with a cell phone!
*Run* as fast as you can away from an ATRIX 2.
OTOH, I had an ATRIX 1 and it was an awesome phone. The screen on the A1 was just too small for me to keep the phone.
The SGS II has 2 times the internal memory of the A2 (SFS II is 16 GB vs 8 GB for the A2) and is faster (1.2 GHz on the SGS II vs. 1 GHZ on A2).
I have read about a few problems with the SGS II, but they don't appear to be as bad as the A2's problems. My SMS app drops the most of all of the apps and every time I lose that app, I also lose all of my texts that have been sent since the last time the app was lost from the phone.
This morning, my two alarms were deleted from the phone, also, and I depend on those to remind me to take my anti-rejection drugs (I had a kidney and pancreas transplant in April of this year). I ended up taking my anti-reject drugs two hours late due to the alarms being deleted. That is simply not acceptable and not good for me, either!
