    Obviously the Matrix Pro is based off of the Matrix which is aimed more towards people whole like to text a lot, the Matrix Pro keeps the good aspects of the Matrix and adds quite a lot more functionality in the same form Read more

    • Easy to use, Good sound quality, Well made
    • Interface can be very slow to react at times, Video camera is bad, No WiFi

    The Pantech Matrix Pro shows great improvement over last year's Pantech Duo , and it offers that extra dose of smartness over the Pantech Matrix in the web browser, email and syncing departments. Read more

    • Relatively small, reasonably attractive, very good reception, good GPS, great audio quality over Bluetooth A2DP stereo. Very usable keyboard given the small size-- good tactile feedback.
    • Voice quality is good overall, but our test unit's call quality sometimes randomly degraded. No WiFi. Slippery and shows fingerprints like mad. Number pad impossible to use for blind dialing.

    The Pantech offers much more than your basic cellphone.  It is quite stylish for the price and is well-suited for avid-texters.  If you’d like to pick up the phone from AT&T it will set you back $349.99 without a contract Read more

    • Being a dual-slider, there is a dedicated phone keypad on the vertical axis and a QWERTY keyboard on the horizontal axis.  Both sliders have quick, smooth mechanisms.  The phone keypad is a flat surface, but each number “b...
    • While the size of the phone is not so bad on the vertical and horizontal, it feels a bit chunky and hefty in the hand. Though the phone boasts music and video capabilities, there is no dedicated headphone jack.  You have t...

    The phone is bulky and an awkward size. If you're coming a Blackberry-style phone, chances are you'll agree with the keyboard feeling awkward as well. Read more

    • The dual slider is pretty neat. Good battery life with my level of usage.
    • I came from a Blackjack 2 with the keyboard on the front, and I felt like the Matrix Pro's keyboard was cramped and I had a difficult time using it in comparison to a keyboard on the front. Also, many times the phone would...

    Bought the product because I broke my phone and didn't have insurance. Great phone for the money. Had trouble using the camera but that was because it was an older version on AT&T. Read more
