New Android 4G phones (ATT)

[Lason]

How long till you root it and have a custom rom on it?

I might root it so I can get some tethering apps to bypass ATT's stuff but a custom ROM may be tough considering this phone has android and a custom Linux ROM on it also. I have never messed with Motorola but I hear from the Dev's that they are locked up pretty tight.

Switching phones doesn't affect your data plan. For those w/ 2gig plans...

My wife works in wireless and she said they stopped doing this. They instructed mgmt to stop approving it shortly after the stories started coming out.

They used to have and "iphone" data plan, a blackberry data plan, and all the other phones data plan. My thought was that ATT would use it as an excuse to kill unlimited any chance they get. Looking on their site now only shows Blackberry data, smartphone data, and non-smartphone data - so they must have changed it.

One quick question - Is ATT charging additional $$ for 4g data like sprint does or not?

[Lason]

Nope but they have the tiered data plans so that sucks. They are offering a 4gb data plan with tethering now though but Im keeping my unlimited data plan I have had for years with my new 4G Atrix.

OK cool - I've still got my unlimited data. I'm just contemplating the pre-order.

Atrix just got moved back from March 6th release to Feb 22. Alot of people are getting notifications that their phones will ship out on the 22nd, but I havent yet. Im an employee so Ill probably get thrown to the back of the line, lol.

You and your wife both work for at&t?

[Lason]

Yep I work wireline and she is wireless.

I thought this was funny. My phone shipped today and it shipped out of Ft Worth and is due to be delivered here in Arlington Monday. I called Fedex and asked if I can pick it up tonight and the guy started cracking up. He apologized and said no because they are flying it to Memphis Tn then flying it back to Ft Worth Sunday then delivering it Monday. WTF??

[Tx Redneck]

That doesn't surprise me one bit.

Just tried to pre-order the Atrix - it just popped up and told me that my text plan isn't compatible and also my data plan isn't compatible. It says that after the new phone is received I will have to call customer service to correct my plan, thus killing my unlimited.

I wonder if I will actually have to change it or they'll just let it go?

Also, Lason it is showing up for $99 with contract right now.
