Horrible Phone
2 days ago by Anonymous
20%2out of 10
Ok, so I bought this phone back in November of 2009. A few days after I got the phone it started to glitch. The buttons on the front would freeze and the only way to correct the problem was to turn off the phone and wait and then turn it back on. After turning it back on all of my settings like ringtone were not there anymore and I would have to go back in and reset them again. I finally got fed up and took it back to the store where I got it a week and a half after I bought it. They gave me a new one. The 2nd one started to do the same thing. It really aggravated me. I am finally getting a new phone and I am SO HAPPY! The matrix is a terrible phone. I never dropped it and I did no damage to it, it just did not work. I would never recommend this phone to anyone unless you want to deal with constantly having to turn your phone on and off multiple times a day. Don't buy it, don't bother. Splurge a few extra bucks for a better phone. Yes, I know the price is awesome but it is not worth the hassle.
Cheap
EVERYTHING ELSE!

I asked for the Pantech matrix for Christmas last year and I was very happy when I got it. I loved it until it started acting weird, it had random glitches and would randomly crash on me. The longer I had this phone the less it had its glitches which is weird.
This phone is overall a solid phone and is perfect a year later with minor exceptions like the paint coming off already....
It's kinda cheap and bulky and people says its ugly but I'm fine with it however this phone gets very boring. I'm replacing this phone soon.
I don't think I'd recommend this phone to anyone, maybe as a backup phone I would recommend it though.

i have had this phone for about 9th months, and yes the screen is scratched and it can slide both ways easily, but its a great phone. It has a very easy keyboard and emoticons are very easy to use, you can learn the keyboard just as you would one on a computer. The camera is not good unless you change settings to specific things like daylight and tungsten, etc. It has internet access which is cool and is an mp3 player with a memory chip. Ringtones don't have good sound quality but songs do. This phone is the most durable I've had, being tough through 5-6 foot falls to the concrete numerous times. It has a bunch of widgets like voice memo and alarm, along with notepad, world time, calculator and converter, and stopwatch. Great, great, great phone. Thank you pantech for this creation.
Great phonenothing

Ive had this phone for 7 months and Its okay, The camara Is not horrible but is not great, I will Say that it does shut off by its self but thats because it has to re-fresh, Would not get it wet or even damp because the keyboard will stop working because i got mine wet and the light for the keyboard did not work so i got another pantech matrix, The screen is very easy to scratch But a trick is to put toothpaste over it like get some toliet paper and then rub it on the screen unti the toothpast is not visible, I would recemend the I-phone, Its really cool and games only cost 99 cents its free internet and is very easy to text on, (i know this because ywamy uncle has one) Anyway, I would recomend this phone for 1st time beginners, Its very easy too work!! but if your the kind of person who gets tired of there stuff easily this is not the phone for you
this is an okay phone

If your looking for a phone that shuts off while your talking,screen goes blank,paint fades and peels ,power cord doesnt work then this may be the phone for you.Phone is 6 months old,has never been dropped or exposed to water and pantech wont cover it cause it has paint peeling and fading.(so I was told)Pantech is nothing more than a low end product.
inexpensive compared to other phonesVery poor quality,paint peels and fades on phone which may not be good if you have toddlers in a house cause they like to touch everything

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!
Durable.
Good First Phone.
Easily, you can change up the display.
Many Profiles, like vibrate, vibrate/ring, ring, etc.
Easy accesible shortcuts on the phone.
Easy to text on.No Camera Zoom while taking the picture.
Not good quality pictures.

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

I have had this phone for a month now. I researched phones for months before purchasing it, and I am not sorry. I am rather technologically challenged, just an average joe but I have learned how to use the features on the phone that I was interested in. I am not into texting but I did want a phone where I could read my email. I like how the slider screens automatically adjust. There are a few more features I haven't tackled but if I didn't learn anything else at ths point, I am fully satisfied with this phone. It also has picture ID which is neat. I use the Bluetooth aspect also.Others have reported the slider feature breaking but I can't imagine that happening.
QWERTY keyboard, mobile email, great ringtones, camera, video share, great lookscamera not as clear as others I've seen but thats not of great interest to me

Good Phone

The Pantech Matrix is a great phone. I have had it now since november of 2008 and nothing is going wrong with it like other reviews have said. It is holding together very while. I am a very heavy texter, so it is opened and closed over and over again and it still slides very well and stays shut. Since it has the QWERTY keyboard, it is absolutly great for texting and AIM. and it is very easy to use. Battery life from what I have noticed is great. When i visitmy girlfriend at her college and stay a couple nights I don't even bring my charger. Its record so far is 4 days without a charge. And it charges fully very quickly. The Camera isn't all that great. I am really not a picture taker when it comes to phones, thats what my Camera is for. but the Picture quality on this phone is pretty sub-par. All in all, This is a great phone. Holds up well to heavy use, great battery life, easy to use, great apps. I Love It.
P.S. the red one is best. *Phillies Colors*
Easy to Use (and get used to)
QWERTY keyboard
Reliable
Durable
Great Battery Life
Fun Apps
Good Sound Quality
Cellular Video is Fun
Phillies Colors
Camera isn't that great
Comes in Giants colors. *BOOO GIANTS*
