Alright,


Ive had my Pantech Matrix for a while, and i really do love it. After about 2 months of using it, 2 or 3 of the buttons on the keyboard would be slow. Example, to type a letter, id be pressing " N-N-N-N-N" and by the sixth N, it would finally show up. And at first, because i had never had the phone and none of my friends had it, after having it for about a month, you can slide it both ways at the same time if you slide it in a specific way. Now, after about 4 months, i can slide it both ways as easy as it slides one way. Yes, it does slow the phone down a little bit. Whenever i was bored or talking to someone while holding my Matrix, i would be sliding and sliding and sliding it. I dont recomend it. My phone has gotten a little bit slower, but really not all that noticable. I just noticed it because im always on it. But its really a great phone.


If your looking for a begginner phone, the matrix would be a pretty good phone. Its VERY durable. Unlike a touchscreen, the screen is holding up great. Like if you drop a touchscreen and the screen scratches, it can mess up the phone. but for my matrix, i dont have to worry about busting or scratching my screen.


For pictures, im not fond of my camera. there is no flash, unlike some new phones, but im not too worried about that. You can not zoom WHILE TAKING THE PICTURE, but after you take it, then you can zoom.


It comes in lots of colors too.=)


the buttons on the normal pad when u slide it up, like 123456789*0#, they are very strong, as in they dont bust.


It has yellow pages, and GPS. very helpful, especially if you dont have one of those GPS things built in your car and you newed directions.


 


Texting- it send up to 10 people at a time. and instead of going to


"send to>Josh."


then it goes back to the text,


its a long checklist, which not all phone are like that. i love the checklest!


 


I hope this review helps!

Where's the PC SyncSoftware?

No complaints, except I just dropped my Motorola for this.  Motorola has a complete phone tool software, but I haven't seen any for the Matrix.  The Matrix Pro comes with Windows Mobile 6.0.  You can download Active Sync and Mobile 6.0 on your computer but it doesn't work for Matrix, just Matrix Pro. 


So if anyone knows of any PC syncing software that will let you download pics and sync  contacts and calendars with your PC let me know.  tle_mgr@yahoo.com

okkayy so ive had this phone for like 3 weeks i was so excited when i got it. but now i hate it. the keyboard slider thing is cool but its already wiggling. and sometimes i have to shut off my phone for it to send messages and its already freezed like 5 timess. . ughhh and i hate hate this phone. the battery life sucks if i leave it on when im at school it loses a bar. and did i tell you it turns on by itself. when i was in class it rang 7 timesss. i personly hate the lock thing. they do come in cool colors cuz i hate black phoneesss there just boring  but i seriously hate this phonee. the camera qualityyy suckky.. and im like a teenager so i like to take alot of pictures but this phone doesnt even have flash. so i told my mom that i wanted a new phone so im suppose to be getting the lg zenon or samsung impression.:) overall this phone would be good for people that dont really know technology . but noot for me i absolutely hateee it..
