- You’ll struggle to figure out which app belongs where or why;
- The viewing angle of the screen is poor;

As a phone alone, the Atrix is a little better, although we found that the Motoblur interface doesn’t make things particularly easy or intuitive. In fact it’s not immediately apparent how to make a phone call.
Telstra has the Atrix for $840 outright or for $0 upfront on a $79/month plan.

Nokia N9 | LG Optimus 2X | Samsung Galaxy S II | HTC Desire S
