I love the two different keyboard display modes. All and all this is a nice phone. I bit heavier then most, which is a great for my tastes. Although throughout the months it has started to become a bit loose through the transition of keyboard modes. As with any phone, when it gets a bit cold, it is delayed. I have dropped it a few times with no major consequences. I do recommend this phone for people who can take care of a phone. I do not recommend this phone for people who "abuse" their phones, this phone WILL NOT last. I love mine, the style, the menu setups, the extras (music player, camera/video camera, memory expansion slot, excellent color display, etc.) It was a great buy for me, at the refurbished price of $86.00 I could not have done better!
I got this texting phone for my wife, who was using a non-texting phone to do lots of texting. Pro: Dual slider makes phone calls easy, as well as a full QWERTY slider for texting. Solid feel. Con: Button arrangement, UI limitations Regarding the button arragement, in specific the circular pattern makes it very difficult to know which button you are pressing. There is a four-way rocker button around the center button, and around that rocker are 4 separate buttons. I've used the phone several times and it is all too easy to hit the wrong button. It looks cool I guess, but it is not very functional. The UI does not allow you to map the four-way rocker selections the way some other UIs allow that. So I cannot assign (for example) the left button to Bluetooth toggle. The QWERTY keyboard has pretty small buttons, but it isn't too bad to use. The spacing is almost too wide for quick thumb typing. It isn't intuitive how the four-way or other buttons will be mapped when in QWERTY mode - that is, will they be flipped "on their side" when the phone is on its side? I don't know without trying them. Overall, if you can get this phone for cheap (under $50 or so) it's not too bad. Especially if you don't like touchscreen phones and want a dedicated hardware dialer for simple phone calls.Read full review
THE GOOD: The Pantech Matrix slides both ways to reveal both a number keypad and a QWERTY keyboard. It has a megapixel camera, HSDPA, A-GPS, and access to AT&T's broadband services. THE BAD: The Pantech Matrix suffers from tiny navigation keys and a flat keypad. The handset is also on the bulky side. THE BOTTOM LINE: The Pantech Matrix is a pretty good dual-sliding multimedia handset, but we just weren't pleased with the keypad design.
While the Pantech matrix is a very stylish phone. It has allot to be desired. Although the design of a "Dual Slide" phone is interesting. The framework is rather flimsy. The Chassis of the phone its self is too wobbly. Many of you that have used the phone agree, when the phone vibrates, the "Wobbliness" causes the phone to make a nasty crackling noise, unless the phone is being held closed. As far as the built in features go. The camera is adequate. The media player and speaker make a great combination for an on the go Media center. I was not to thrilled with the cheap data/charge port, as I have had to fix it on one that I owned before. I do like that the SD card is located Externally. The battery is adequate as far as cellular use. But media use will drain the battery pretty quickly. I do rate this phone 4 out of 5 stars. It was good for its time. But now its better left as a back up.Read full review
This wireless device is manufactured by a relative new-comer to the US wireless hardware market. The volume control key and the camera activation key, both located on the exterior of the case, are definitely a nice touch. I really appreciate the extensive BlueTooth features and capability; this set easily pairs with other BlueTooth-equipped devices, such as laptop PCs, wireless headsets, and even other wireless phones. Upon power-up, this phone quickly "boots up" and registers with a local network that employs HSDPA, UMTS, or GPRS technology. The included lithium-ion battery has above-average life between charges, unless you frequently use the BlueTooth feature, the media-player, or the internet browser. Voice quality is good. I have enjoyed playing some of my favorite tunes using the media-player, which supports a number of different audio file formats. So far, I have not yet used the built-in camera; therefore, I cannot address this aspect of the device. Overall, this phone is very user-friendly and enjoyable to use, although it never received very much publicity or media "hype" at the time of its original introduction to the wireless market.Read full review
