i've had this phone for over a year now and i drop it all the time it is still an amazing phone but the vibration is soo obnoxious

Ashalee

when i had this phone it held more memory than any phone ive had.it can hold alot of videos, music, textxs and i loved it.but when it broke it made me sad.like its hella heavy and the vibrate is really loud.but it was good for when im on the couch and left it on the counter i could hear it and be like "oh thats where it is".and when u loose it in the couch and its on vibrate it comes in handy.i absolutely loved the phone.its really sensitive and all but a good thing to have.

dannie

i love the pantech phones you guy are lucky to have one.

i HATE this phone. i've had this phone for quite some time and it is a first class piece of junk. first of all, it's HUGE. secondly, it's ring and vibration is far to loud for my taste. if your phone is on vibrate you shouldn't be able to hear it from the other side of the room, with this phone that's not an option. another factor is that the thing freezes up constantly and it takes forever to delete things off of it. my matrix also doesn't hold but 145 texts and then i have to delete them all which takes forever. sometimes it wont even let me make calls, it just tells me over and over emergency calls only (very annoying). the only good thing about this phone is that i've dropped it about 500 million times on concret, pavement, ground, bathroom, car, etc. and it still seems to work. however the paint chips way to easy and the phone itself chips.

Brittany

just go on ebay for covers there all so many even rhinestone ones! i got an awesome one for a cheap price :D

Chris papcun

This is the most durable phone ever. I can out of experience say I've dropped this phone, thrown it across my campus onto pavement, watched it bounce down stairs, slid it open up and down side to side millions of times, and it refuses to break.

ranqiue

this phone is ok i like hw it slides both ways but the only problem i find wit it is tat it is too heavy they shld make it lighter but otherwise itsan awesome phone to hve seriously i recommend it to mostly person who loves txting thou tat wats i use it for lol and less calling.

mirissa

i want this phone sooo bad

In response to your question about blocking certain numbers from calling your daughters phone...the answer is YES if you have AT&T. It's a feature called smart limits and costs about 5 bucks a line per month...you set it up online and then bingo! the exboyfriend cant call or text your daughter. It's a little piece of mind in this crazy world of ours. Hope this helps and good luck.

Taylor

I have had this phone for about two years. The problems i have with this phone are that you cant put a signature on it, it turns off and on out of the blue, and i can not find a case for it anywhere. My advice is not to try to slide it both ways at the same time cuz mine broke when i tried it. But on a scale of 1-10 i give it a 7.

Renee/moneyme

this fone is sik i meen wat fone goes both sides but i totaly agree with u abowt this fone

Anonymous

Can I make a signature with this fone?

D-Man

I do agree on the phone and the slowness but about the 30second videos, not true. If you want to take long videos, you need to change the res to 176x144 and then your good. I think the 30second video-clips is the setting for text size videos, while that setting is for unlimited. (Only limited by memory.)

Anonymous

I've had this phone for almost two years and I'm super exited to get a new one. This phone doesn't do anything exept for call and text. You can't play any games because it costs money because of the airtime and same with the GPS and mobile browser. If you just want a phone to text and call then this phone is perfect for you, but if you want a phone that can do stuff then get something else. It does turn on and off which is annoying. Also you can't change the text tone, which is always super loud. The vibrate is suuuuppppeeeerrrr loud. It sratches really easily, has bad sound quality, and takes forever to delete text. also the camera doesn't have zoom, the keys get sticky and u can only hav like 30 second videos.

trent banks

i hate this fone. ive had it for about a year. the display went out once. and eery one i get has a problem with freezing and turns itself on and off. i cant stand it. i think ive replace it under warrenty 4 times! my charger barely works and my battery only last like 7 hours. im excited to ditch this fone for the blackberry 9000. do not get this fone!

dose this phone have a alarm on it to get u up?

Ive had this phone for a year! It is pretty cool, if you don't mind it being so fat. lol. Its got to be the most durable phone. Ive went swimming with it three times in my pocket while it was on, and it works great. Its fallen everywhere...the shiny paint stuff did come off, just the dull red on it now. Its easy to use...sometimes a little too easy, which it could do more. but for whats its worth, its pretty good.

d-man

This phone is still awesome. I had mines for almost a year now & the only problem i have had so far with it is the stupid charging cover came off the phone. Nothing else, absolutely nothing else. It doesn't freeze like what people say. Maybe its just how technology is. Sometimes you get a good one & sometimes you get a defectid one. O & i keep good care of mines. I have a screen protecter on it. But i never bot a case for it. No scratches though because i always keep it in its own pocket. My keys & other things never are in the same one as my phone. I do this because i heard it scratches easely, so i am not going to take any chances. Other then the charger hatch coming off the phone, this phone is awesome. Really really awesome!!! Thanks for reading & if I were to reckamend this phone, I would say. Get it if you dont mind the thickness & it being a little heavy. You should be careful & should not slide it too too much because some people say it can break that way.

Taylor

i wanted a phone like this so what do u all recommend

Selenia

I don't mind AT&T, unlike seemingly everyone else. However, I can't wait to ditch this phone. It has many nice touches and features for its price. It is also equally annoying. From a crappy proprietary charge jack with cheap Chinese made chargers that never fit quite right, to having to return it twice for warranty exchange within the year for different issues(one reception, one display). I now have it in a rugged shock absorbing case and the third one seems to be holding up. Hopefully, it will hold up till my contract is up. I think I may just start buying phones unlocked from now on.So, trying to make this thing hold up until contract end, even though I could do a free upgrade right now,

Megan

This phone is good but it freezes. The screen freezes so it's not able to see anything. You can still use it when it's frozen but you can't see anything. EX: Texting I DON'T LIKE THIS PHONE!!!!

I just got into 7th grade and it is a great phone, but if you use it in class, it wouldn't be so smart because it vibrates very loud and rings very loud. The paint has been coming off. I've had it for 3 months. It does shut off in the middle of texting or doing anything but it happens rarely. hope this helps!

UAGLY

I have a friend that just purchased a matrix unlock for $163.20 with tax no contract was a deal or a wack judgement of desperation please let me know.

im having the same problem...got any ideas yet?

blahblah helping use

go to your phone company adn ask them how you can turn on picture messaging to see if you can get it with your plan you are on. but you may want to know this, it costs you a lot if you dont have unlimited multi media messaging hope this helps you! ! :)

I just got the pantech matrix and have no clue how to make pictures that are sent via pic message bigger...anyone with answer's?

the person who wrote that their phone was freezing wasn't saying that all of the matrix's freeze... they were just saying that theirs did. if you read further they state that they got a new one and hasn't had any problems with it.

i have had a pantech matrix since june it is awesome it works perfectly and does not freeze like the other guy said

Brianna

I got my first Pantech Matrix on Christmas and it worked well up until January. It started freezing and ended up coming completely off the track. When I brought my phone in I got another one for free and have had it up until now. This one hasn't broken off the track but freezes a lot and says insert sim card (when the sim card is in there) daily, and sometimes more than once a day. This phone seemed cool since it could slide both ways but I wouldn't recommend it at all. Get a better phone and save some money!

nancy

Have had my blue Matrix since Christmas and the paint is coming off and the phone just shuts down while I'm texting. Has anyone else had problems with the Paint? I'm concerned since I have a 2 year old and with all I have read about the lead in paint from other countries??

Anonymous

I have owned my Pantech Matriz since April,2009. I adore the phone. It was a great choice for me. I would not trade it for any other kind of smart phone. The color is sensational. Very happy with it. So far no break downs or act ups.

pantech matrix user

this is a good phone but it has alot of problems! it blanks out and restarts randomly it also takes awhile to delete the messages overall it's an OK phone but has quite a few problems it is easy to text on though.

D-Man

Well, the Pantech Duo is a smart phone, meanwhile the Matrix is just a regular phone. The Duo runs Windows Mobile & the Matrix runs a standerd program. The Duo is kind of old now so if you did want a Duo, you should just go for the Pantech Matrix Pro which is a newer version of the dule sliding Smart Phone. Hope I helped.

Rockever101

which one is better, the pantech matrix or the pantech duo?

Rockever101

is this a good phone for me, a sixth grader going to middle school? someone please answer me. i want a phone now!!! (not to be pushy):D

Yeah it is aslong as you add the contact from your sim card to the phone itself.

Rosebud

I've had this phone for about 2 months now. I got the red one. I LOVE IT!! A few times now while deleting my text msgs, it seems to freeze and I have to turn it off and back on but that's only happened 3 times and only if I've had over 60+ read or sent msgs. I usually have bad luck with my phones so I'll keep you informed if something goes wrong. Oh, and my 12 year old has the same phome only blue and she loves hers too. Great phone!!!!

Anonymous

i love it its totally awsome!

cho

Yeah, you just can't save the names under SIM. When you add a new contact, save it under PHONE and you can edit from there.

D-Man

There is a way to set ring tones for your contacts. First, you would have to save your contact that you want to use the tone to your phone. When the contact is saved in to your phone, then you would then first go to the contact name. You should see an icon next to the name, it should not be the sim icon. Then you would push options, left soft key. Edit & then go down to ringtone & set your ringtone. The tone should not be more than 300KB because the tone will then be too big to set as a ringtone.

JONAH

i dont see it in the manual. but is it possible to assign a specific ring tone to any of my contacts?

sasquatch

i agree with cho. i bought an sd card for it, but the phone won't let me save any pictures in it! although i do like the qwerty on it. it's really easy to work. still, if you want a long lasting phone, not this one. same things as cho's matrix happened with mine

cho

I have this phone, and it's not that great. I've had it for a while now and it reboots randomly, turn off on its own, and sometimes it freezes up. I don't even use the phone often!! I say look for a different phone.

cody

does the matrix come or have a 3.5mm headphone jack

I have this phone and love it but all of a sudden after just a few months the buttons on the front do not work! im devastated. has this happened to anyone else or does anyone know how to get this fixed without purchasing a whole new phone!?!?! please respond

Myboomboom

Na-ah! I dont like the phone. A lot of people are complaining about the slider. That's all. =)

D-Man

I got this phone like a month ago & it is BA. The design is really sleek & nice to the touch. I can use it pretty easly either way. The only thing i dont really like is that the speaker does not really handle the bass well when listenning to music. I can navagate really easly after the first week, but still dont know everything about this phone yet. O & did i menchen that i am fully blind, so even then, i still really like this phone. So if a blind guy can use this phone, i think anyone can.

dcsk8er

just bought this phone today. i normally hate sliders and qwerty key pads but this phone changed my opinion on both. only thing that kinda annoys me is it can accidentally connect to the internet pretty easily. locking the keys really comes in handy and will save your bill from unexpected internet charges. over all i really like it and looking forward to continue using it. Definitely the best phone i have yet to own

Anonymous

Depending on your status, it will cost around 50/79$s with upgrade or new 2year contract, & if you just want the phone, it will cost about 279 or somewhere around there.

Anonymous

Same here, I went to, & there, i downloaded games & apps but the phone said unsupported files. I also need help? Please reply.

D.man

I actually own this phone just about a month ago & tried to put some games on it. I copied them from my micro SD card & they are both .JAR & .JAD files but when i go to try to open them, the phone says unsupported file. How do you instal games? Please help me out???

this phone is an absolute brick! it is heavy, thick, and ugly. The face of the phone doesn't look that bad, but the thickness of the phone ruins the aesthetics. not my type, but it may suit a myriad of others.

Sarajean

I own this phone-and I hate it. I know it's hard to believe, but it is true. Whatever you do, don't buy it stay with your old phone or look for a new one. I used to own a Sony Ericsson W200, but then I bought the matrix... boy, am I sorry I ever did that... My Sony could do a lot more than thins phone every could... I wouldn't be complaining if my retarded friend didn't make my Sony 'Master reset'. Other wise I would still have my old phone and have away/sold my new phone.

Personally, I think it has a cute design.

i love the dual slide it's prettty amazing..

dan cougar

Dude, you can put your own mp3s and pics on this phone and make it custom ring for every person on your contact list. You first have to copy all the names off your SIM on to the phone itself. Second you have to find mp3s short enough (seems like 300K is the popular number). Give it a try. It does work.

Anonymous

Its a great phone.. BUT, it does fall apart after a while.. Like, mine slides both ways now, like.. At the same time (which it shouldn't be able to). True, its a super cool phone and I love it.. But they should still work a little to make sure that dosn't happen.

do this slide 2 ways like the pantech duo

katie

No, it doesn't break on the second day. you might be thinking of the pantech dou. or whatever, my friend had that and it was slow and easily broken. but they made this one a lot more sturdier. i have it myself and i love it (: the sonys find of suck :/ get this one lol. trust me you wont regret it.

If you go into the profile and modify the ring tone you can change the volume on the button beeps separate from the ring tone.

i just got my phone today is great but i hate txting and hearing the beeping sounds but the only way to make it stop is to put it on silent or vibrate but i want to hear my ringtones when people call me ??help??

This is a really good phone i have it in red. you just have to get used to the qwerty keypad since its kind of slippery. but the ringtones suck, and so do the wallpapers your gonna have to deal with that unless you put in your own songs as ringtones and your pictures as wallpaper. Also,the menu button is on the right side of the screen, and you cant cnage it to the left side. i still like it tho, im gonna have to since ill be stuck with this phone for a year. and no, it does not break teh second day

SARAH

WOW!!! I got this phone a couple of days ago, and although i can't have it officially until christmas, i love it!! IT does everything, but i have only played with it a couple of times, so when i find out all it can do, i bet my comments on it will only get better! I don't recommend it to everyone, just those who know how to use technology and don't have to have someone explaining the entire piece of equipment to them every step of the way! This phone is for those who don't ask questions, they just go and find out for themselves!

i got this phone today man this phone is the best i always text my brother and my cousin

TextingMama

We just bought two of these phones- one broke on the first day! Everyone complains that when they talk to us, it's difficult to hear. Turns out the speaker is on the bottom of the phone and it picks up every little sound in the room. As long as you don't try to talk to eachother at the same time, you'll be lucky. There is also a little cover over where you charge it in. It's held on by a little piece of rubber- looks like a clear rubber band. I'm thinking that cover will be off my daughters phone in about three weeks. I wish ATT would get on board with a more a better qwerty keyboard manufacturer. I really can't recommend this phone.

I just got this phone today and I must say for $79.99 its a great value its got a great screen, easy to use interface, loud clear speaker and clear call quality Battery life is nice and has lots of features this phone isnt for your corporate cell users ie..blackberry freaks but is a very nice alternative for those who want a qwerty keyboard on a phone that doesnt require an expensive data plan The phone is a big improvment from the pantech duo and feels solid and the slide works very smoothly, again great phone for the price

Anonymous

it comes with a computer jack where you have to hoook it up 2 da computer then download the music or pic etc.

riely

good phone also good for texting

Allie

I looked at this phone and ATT almost talked me into it. It looked very rigid and I think that the design will be faulty after use or if dropped. The keyboard was not very user friendly I thought. The camera isn't that great either. It needs at least a 2MP camera. It's nice to look at but I don't think very user friendly, especially after awhile. I went ahead and got a Blackjack II and am very happy I went with it rather than the Pantech Matrix.

Nice dual design.. .very original for pantech... features are passable but the lack of wifi is a point less in a phone like this... Poor camera...at least a 2mp or better is cool... Qwerty keypad doesn�t seem to good but the keypad of the phone with numbers seems much better... good phone to send sms.... :)
