What are you thoughts in the Motorola Atrix 2?

I just got a used Motorola Atrix 2, so far its pretty neat on the specs and in the update with ICS

But what are you thoughts on the Motorola AAtrix 2? Really worth it?

Cheers!

I used to LOVE my Atrix 2. Then the update to ICS happened. I don't know if the phone just can't handle the software or it just is incompatible, but about 3 months after the upgrade, the phone started acting crazy. It will stop receiving any data without warning (that means ZERO phone calls, texts, alerts....nothing) and I won't know that it has stopped until I try to make a call and it won't respond. It then requires a re-boot.

But the single most irritating problem is that the phone will just randomly shut off and turn back on all by itself...in fact it just happened about 2 minutes ago. VERY irritating as it can happen during calls, texting, while downloading videos or apps, or just when it is sitting on a table (like it just did). I thought I could live with it because I really like this phone, but it has gotten to the point of unreasonable.

I am due an upgrade in June, and am considering the Atrix HD. It seems to be very stable, and there don't seem to be any of the bugs that the Atrix 2 has. I have read dozens of reviews and the Atrix HD gets lower ratings on its camera and battery life, but I can live with those limitations.

I hope you fall in love with your Atrix 2 like I did. But I hope more that you will not run into any of the issues that occurred with so many after the upgrade to ICS. Check out the forums on Motorola's website sometime, and you will see in the Atrix 2 forum allthe bugs that ICS brought with it.

I think I heard that a Motorola atrix 2 requires at least a reboot each week so it can work properly(motorola atrix 2 manual)...
