AT&T says that they have around 900,000 users using phones with Carrier IQ installed. Carrier IQ is the spyware that comes preinstalled that cannot be force closed and sends usage data down to home button clicks to the carrier. While there is a list of eleven devices that AT&T has released that have this installed we have found it on other devices as well one of which being the original Atrix 4G.
AT&T Devices with Carrier IQ Installed:

The following devices also have it installed but are inactive due to its interfering with the devices performance.

Also keep in mind that Carrier IQ is packaged in some applications like the free AT&T Mark the Spot application. While your AT&T device may have Carrier IQ installed there are apps available to remove it as well as the ability to install a custom ROM to remove it.
