So far I am loving the Atrix, it’s so much faster than the original Droid (no shit, right?). I can’t wait to upgrade my original droid to something down the line. ---

Atrix update. So far the phone has been great. I do get a freeze once in a while if I open something by mistake then try to close real quick but its always unfroze. Never had to pull the battery. Battery life has improved to where I can go a 2 solid days with out a charge. While at work I don’t use the phone much. While home I usually only use it for email and phone calls, laptop and nook color are used for surfing. ---

> [@Sleeper](#): > > What problems are you running into? New models are always the suck until they work out the glitches. The fast boot and it does not vibrate for notifications. Had the same two problems with all three phones. But other than that the phone is awesome. HTC called me again. They are asking a lot of questions since they know it’s not user error. ---

> [@Gl@re](#): > > what do you mean by the fast boot? It’s a feature the thunderbolt came with. When you power off the thunderbolt it’s supposed to go into hibernation mode (like a laptop). and when you power it back on its supposed to speed through the start up and be at the home screen within 10 seconds. ---

Not sure if I missed it but is there a free version of play on mobile? From what I read it’s 4.99 a month. The one thing holding me back from an Atrix atm is no Netflix.
