Atrix 2

In November 2011, I got a Motorola Atrix 2. It was only $99, a pretty good deal for a dual core Android device with a replaceable battery.

Accessories:

Got the "smart series Vehicle Navigation Dock", 89523N. Not bad, well made, and easy to tighten the "ball joint" to adjust. Unexpected extra was the audio cable and dual port cigar lighter charger.

There's and extra insert that goes in the cradle, without the insert, the unit will fit with a case, without a case, you use the insert, very nice and it fits the dock really well.

The software that fires off as soon as you dock it is nice, it shows a horizontally scrollable menu of things, 6 at a time in large icons, and allows you to add applications as well.

Also bought the "Productivity Series HD Station" 89522N. Took a bit of looking around, most places had it for $99, got it for $59. Nice desktop stand with charger, but also has 3 usb and an HDMI, as well as audio output. The HDMI has a bunc of apps, where you mirror the display, or you have a desktop to surf the net, etc. It also comes with a tiny remote control. Kinda over the top, but you could basically use this phone for a computer, by addind a keyboard and mouse. In the "surfing mode" you have a normal mouse type cursor on the screen.

General phone tips:

The 4G icon at the top of the screen was variously white or blue, here's the meaning of the colors:

• White= no data connection.
• Gray= background data enabled
• Black= data is enabled
• Blue= "4G" enabled
