I like it but can't am on my 3rd replacement phone!

I really like my phone, yes the ringers and alarms should be louder. I had it for almost a year just under a couple of weeks thankfully warranty still on the phone. They sent me a refurbirshed one as my original phone the speaker and mike both went out. It was a hassle not having a phone to work for a week. Then I got my refurbished one and the battery kept dying. Since the battery was almost a year old I bought a new battery phone still kept dying. Called at&t again and they had to send the 2nd refurbished phone. It worked for almost 2 weeks and the speaker and mike went out on this phone. Now they want me to go for the 3rd refurbished phone. This is not acceptable. I do not mind getting a refurbished phone but they should make sure everything is working on them before they send them back to you. I have been with out a phone essentially since the end of December. I see where other people have had problems with the slider, I have not had that problem thankfully. This is the 1st phone that I have had that had a qwerty keyboard on it and I loved it. Just wish I could get one that was reliable. It is a hassle to have to be on the phone with the warranty people anywhere 30 mins to an hour as they run you thru the same tests everytime. Not only that you should be able to get a replacement over night or withing 2 days without having to pay for the shipping, isn't that one of the reasons to have a warranty and customer satisfaction???? Not having a working reliable phone since the end of December is unacceptable, as there are times I need to reach someone when I am out due to some health issues. My husband has had it he wants me to just buy a new phone. That would be fine and have been trying to decide on one, there are way too many choices. Anyone have any suggestions for a good reliable phone, that has loud ringers, alarms, qwerty keyboard and camera? Thanks for your comments in advance!

very great phone!!

This phone is wonderful!! I have the green and black pantech matrix and it is just perfect!!! keyboard is close togther but that is ok because i have tiny fingers, the color is just beautiful. and the way it double slides just amazes me. i have had this phone twice because i had an accident with it, obviously no other phone could make it through this situation either and both phones have worked completely fine!!! I highly reccommend this phone to fast texters, people who email, and people who are looking for a remarkable phone!!! Good job Pantech!!!

Downgraded from a Blackjack to this and I'm glad that I did

My husband and I recently downgraded from Blackjacks and chose the Matrix for the full keyboard option.

We both prefer this phone over the Samsung Blackjack. It is easy to use, I love the slider option for texting and surfing and that the screen is bigger than what I'm used to. I also like that I have the vertical slider option for a regular phone pad.

We have not had any problems with the sliders coming lose and we are both rough on phones. I believe the issue was fixed before we purchased. Please keep this in mind when reading older reviews.

The speed of this phone when surfing is quicker than the Blackjack. The camera is also better than what I was used to. Although I cannot zoom when taking the actual picture, there is a zoom feature when looking at the photo. Sending pictures is a snap.

The keyboard is quirky. The "b" key is on the right hand side, before the "N" key. That really irritated me at first but now I've adjusted. The rest of the alphabet is pretty much where it's supposed to be.

My only complaint is that the phone is "clicky" when scrolling online. I find this very irritating and hope that it goes away as the phone ages.

Overall, one of the best phone purchases we've made.

Designed to make messaging faster and easier than ever before, the Pantech Matrix features a cool convertible design that slides up to access the alpha-numeric keypad and slides sideways to reveal a full QWERTY keyboard. You'll be able to quickly download video, music and more over AT&T's lightning quick HSPDA 3G network. Additionally, this GPS-enabled phone can access the AT&T Navigator service for turn-by-turn directions as well as its Video Share serve, which enables you to send video of yourself to another compatible phone while making a voice call.

AT&T Service
This AT&T phone can handle high-speed data connectivity via AT&T's 3G mobile broadband data network, which is available in most major metropolitan areas. The AT&T 3G network uses the dual-band UMTS 850/1900 MHz network (also known as WCDMA), making it possible to enjoy a variety of feature-rich wireless multimedia services. It also gives AT&T the advantage of offering simultaneous voice and data services.

In areas where the 3G network is not available, you'll continue to receive service on the AT&T EDGE network, which offers availability in more than 13,000 US cities and along some 40,000 miles of major highways. Providing average data speeds between 75-135Kbps, it's fast enough to support a wide range of advanced data services, including video and music clips, full picture and video messaging, high-speed color Internet access, and email on the go. You'll also enjoy quad-band GSM connectivity, which allows you to make calls in more than 190 countries and access data applications in the more than 135 countries where AT&T offers international data roaming.

With 3G connectivity, you'll be able to access AT&T's Video Share service, which enables you to send a live, one-way video stream to another compatible phone during a standard voice call. The service also allows you to switch the direction of the video stream during the same phone call. (Customers must be in an area served by the company's 3G network and have a Video Share-enabled phone.) A majority of users in the architecture, engineering and construction industries rated the ability to share live video through Video Share highly, according to research commissioned by AT&T. Video Share lets you see progress on a job site or review the day's work without having to drive from an office or other site to do so.

You can take advantage of the AT&T Navigator GPS software and service, a full-featured premium navigation application that includes audible turn-by-turn directions, real-time traffic updates and re-routing options, and 3D moving maps (additional charges applicable). AT&T Navigator offers several other features to make your commute more enjoyable and reliable, including mobile access to Yellowpages.com. Additionally, AT&T Navigator is the only mobile phone-based GPS service that provides integrated speech recognition for address entry and points of interest search.

With 3G connectivity, you'll be able to access AT&T's Cellular Video (CV) service and the Internet while on the go. Cellular Video features content from CNN, The Weather Channel, iFilm, Comedy Central and exclusive premium content from HBO and much more. And you get access to AT&T Mobile Music, which enables you to buy tracks while on the, access the Napster subscription music service, stream music video, discover what's playing with Music ID song-recognition software, and find out what's hot with The Buzz music news portal. (A MEdia Max subscription bundle is recommended for accessing AT&T's Internet, video, and music services.)

The phone has a built-in web browser for MEdia Net downloads and mobile web browsing. AT&T's MEdia Net service enables you to receive and send emails, read news headlines, get weather updates, download games and ringtones, and more.
