The Pantech Matrix Duo first impressions

We had Mobility Minded were lucky enough to get a Pantech Matrix Pro from AT&T for review.

In the near future we will be holding a contest here at Mobility Minded and are able to give one of these away.




I just got this Windows Mobile 6.1 standard phone(non-Touch Screen) in the house yesterday and I was able to use it for quite some hours. The rounded edges is a nice feature which makes the device look attractive but also gives a good feel in the hand.

Some other early reviews online have remarks on the thickness of the device. Yes it's is slightly thicker, but don't forget that it has two different keyboards that pop out. One a numeric keypad and one full QWERTY-Keyboard. Both are spring loaded and gives it a great experience.

The phone is a 3G phone. The 3G data connection give you a high speed data and voice. The setup was easy, just insert your SIM-card and all the settings were correct. I was able to pull in all my emails (imap,pop3 and exchange) with no problems. There are many great media software's installed on the device to instantly use with your data plan. (XM radio, MobiTV, etc)

Please follow the following link for the specifications

I will be using this phone extensively in next coming weeks. Periodically I will post some updates on my experiences with this already great feeling device.

O yes, the non-touch screen, I am not missing a touch screen at all yet, actually I get a better reliable experience using the hardware buttons and keyboard buttons to operate the Pantech Matrix Pro by AT&T.

Also kudos's to AT&T for the start-up and shut down splash animation screens. I like it.
