Pantech Matrix Pro in the house

By Mauricio Freitas, in Windows Mobile, posted: 12-MAR-2009 15:00

Very exciting... I've just received an AT&T Pantech Matrix Pro Windows Mobile Smartphone here. Exciting because this is a very new model, with a sliding keypad and a sliding keyboard as you can see in the pictures below:

The AT&T Pantech Matrix Pro is a WCDMA 850/2100 MHz device meaning it will be perfect for connecting to the new Telecom New Zealand network and for my upcoming trips to Australia and the US.

I have just opened the box and I am now synchronising the phone with my Exchange server, installing important programs and more... Full review later.

Looks kinda chunky/thick... and kinda ugly too... oval/round-ish looks is kinda 2007/Motorola-era

It is actually small when you have it in your hands... It's thick because of the double keyboard/keypad but in terms of size I was actually surprised.

is the dual slide just a waste of time. Surely one keypad (the full one) would be enough?

Good question... No, it's not a waste. I value a keyboard because I constantly reply to emails from my mobile device. At the same time the keyboard is not an appropriate interface for dialling a number, entering PIN over the phone during a call, etc.
