The Atrix is out, and though I was pretty convinced it would be my new phone, I’m reconsidering. Largely because of Motorola’s lockdown on the phone. It’s been rooted, but no custom ROMs yet. I’m not sure if I’d even be interested in it if it was freed up. There was a phone that Nokia was going to release which was tentatively called the N9-00. It would have beaten the hell out of the Atrix, and had a far more robust operating system on it. And most importantly, it had a physical keyboard. I’m still not sold on software keyboards. Moreover, I don’t yet see the need for me to get a new phone. I really want to play around with Android, and I’ve even considered the possibility of developing apps for it, but my current phone really does fulfill all my needs. It’s approaching four years since Nokia released the N95, and there hasn’t been another device since that could stay as relevant for as long as it has. I need to work to keep my gadget lust in check, and stay practical.
