How is the reception etc..on Motorolla Atrix?

**Singhman** · 06-17-2011, 01:50 PM

Thinking about getting this phone. Is the reception good? i have the Vibrant right now, and reception is mostly good, but sucks at my work desk. Is Atrix "above average" when it comes to reception? Thanks.

The reception is pretty great on the Atrix.
When I first got a phone with Bell, I got the HTC Desire Z, and the reception was atrocious. I could barely go on the main floor of my home without losing signal completely. Or if the phone was in my pocket on the second floor, it would lose signal.

However this wasn't the case with the Atrix, it pretty well has 4/5 bars throughout my town, whether I'm on the main floor of my house or the second floor, or even the basement for that matter. On top of that, the phone is just excellent. My brother owns the Samsung Galaxy S, and it is a horrible phone in comparison. Between speed, battery life, and signal, the Atrix out shines it in every aspect.

Hope that gives you a better idea.

Well I hate to be mean but HTC radios and mics tend to be atrocious throughout their entire product line.

I have a Desire Z right now as well and have the same reception issues. currently in the works of selling this phone to get an atrix.

other bonus is i am reading the Atrix supports the text message feature with ford sync

The reception on most Motorolla handsets are generally fantastic. I've owned a milestone smartphone before my Atrix and it also had amazing reception.

I have had a decent experience with my Motorola Atrix on AT&T, any issues I have had have been AT&T related. But it does pick up signal and hold calls better than my iPhone ever did.
