I got the Atrix a little while ago and it is pretty cool, although I was upgrading from an out of date blackberry, so I don't know how it compares to other Android phones.
One thing that bothers me is that while it advertises this DNLA feature, where you are supposed to be able to stream movies from your home server, it doesn't actually play most video formats.
As a matter of fact, out of literally hundreds of movies I have on my server, a combination of mkv, avi, dvd rips, etc., the only thing I could get it to play was a handful of MP4 files.
Not that I plan on watching videos on it all the time, but it would be nice if the advertised features would at least work. You'd think there would be some sort of codec pack or transcoding setup you could install, rather than having to download the movies directly to your phone to use some third party video player.
