Browser is bcoz u haven't compared to sgs2
Regarding quickpic, am using it since it came to market almost 9months back
Gallery gives u a cool advanced editing mode which is really handy before sending to Facebook or anything....
 
Buddy, I have seen the browser on my Galaxy Tab (which received hardware accelerated browser with 2.3 update) and no doubt it is very good. However, for me, even Atrix is decent for casual surfing!

Buddy, guess you have used both atrix and Lg2X, which one you suggest. Pls list good and bad points of both, that will help.

Can someone provide info about battery life on the unlocked phones..how long it lasts with their type of applications and usage..what music playback time one can expect..
 
I am not avid music listener but always on 3g or wifi poking around..installing new applications..watching youtube videos..etc...it lasts a day barely....

p.s: I am on froyo..did not realize that you are concerned abt Gingerbread..

bro whatever anyone says i get less battery life than froyo

since u are into music i can exactly tell u what to expect

on 2.3.4 of kenneth beta 4

i unplug at 100pc at 10, am always hooked to 3g network and sync always on

reach library at 10:15

my music starts at 10:25 and goes non stop upto 4pm

and in between i get about 20mails

do bit internet surfing, facebook, etc

20 mins calls

at the end of all this at 5pm in evening i have about 30pc left

but the last 30pc last a bit less

so basically if u decrease ur usage after 5pm u will reach 8-9pm easily

but on froyo i was having almost 10-20pc till i reach home at 9pm

Its a beta leaked build and there may be optimizations later when its released so atrix rocks

My galaxy s wud have died by 4pm surely with continuous music

And O2x may be good but after using atrix screen, i am fond of the high resolution, if u look closely at some colors and some gradients like the drop down notification bar screen, then u will hate the pentile screen but if u use ur phone like a sane person at a arms distance then its surely very good!!

--- Updated Post - Automerged ---

and i can confidently add that the music is better than SGS, the equalizer actually works whereas in SGS i never thought the equalizer did anything good!!

basically its replaced my cowon S9 in libary

i am using it with my klipsch S4 and really loving it................ its the best i have heard on a cellphone better than iphone3g for sure just becoz the eq really works and i can play around with my music a bit!!!

(ya i have played only 320kbps files)

Im on it.

Everything good except for the cherryblur theme :P

I flashed mattedblues theme but the cherryblur dev has done great job theming the rom that some parts are still cherry.

Battery as usual shorter than froyo but i have blur active with too much stuff being synced all the time..

Both are decent phones with with their share of pluses and minuses!

First, what's common: Both are Dual Core Tegra 2 based, unlocked bootloaders (2X came unlocked OOTB while Atrix had it unofficially), community support!

Things going for Atrix:

1 GB RAM

Webtop over HDMI hack

Notification LED (a small thing prolly but I love it)

qHD resolution screen (fonts are crisp and clear on the display)

Relatively free of any issues (Compared to 2X which according to reports has a few issues at the moment, though I never faced any)

Relatively better battery life (1880 mAH)

Things in favor of 2X:

FAST, I mean real fast! (Atrix doesn't have CM7 or AOSP based ROMs, so it loses a point on this though it is not slow by any means)

Display is amazing (Next best to SAMOLED, Atrix's display is, I would say, average when compared to this)

Native HDMI mirroring (Looks awesome on LCD TV)

8 MP Camera with 1080p video recording(Compared to Atrix's 5 MP with 720p and an unofficial-but-not-good-enough 1080p recording)

I tried optimus 3d today and the screen indeed is next best thing to amoled.

the next next best thing is SLCD from SonyE and Samsung (I think manufactured originally by Sony)

atrix screen sucks in front of that...

However, what I have noticed is that the atrix has colour banding only in 2D mode..

It is not observed in video or games with 3D graphics. Atleast couldn't notice.

and obvious difference is black levels... wish smartfones were really as smart as choosing your own desired components...

although it was a bit sluggish with the stock froyo rom.

build quality was above average.

Btw, gtalk voice n video calling is working on cherryblur 0.5d ...yup over data too :)
 
Nowadays I have started liking the ATRIX,only downside I can mention is the Screen,its a pricey phone but lacks the wow factor due to the Average screen quality
 
@people monitoring battery..

please install Battery Indicator and observe in terms of Voltage level instead of %

% is only an estimate. I have seen 50% estimate at 3.8V and 70% estimate at 3.7V .. just bad calibration it means..
 
Woo Hoo!!

Bye Bye Colour banding :)

Thanks to 4.5.2.A

You guys should get on to 4.5.2.A

im via cheryBlur1.1a + Stock Theme (dev was nice enough to honour request for stock theme despite the rom says cherryblur)

+ The stupendous battery bug was due to 1% mod :lol:

All set.. This is looking and working great now :)

so happy that I'm contemplating to post the 4th emoticon now : lol :

Yes it is, just fix the permissions from cwm.

not facing radio issues as such but you can always flash your favorite radio.

And there never is a final thing until you want to settle for what is available at an instance :P

you dont lose anything apart from the bandwidth for trying :)
 
as far as my experience with flashing goes, radio flashing is the most risky thing to do to ur device
most bricking(atleast on winmo) were due to radio flashing and the corrupt radio can never be recovered!!
imho of course
