Pantech Matrix integrates a dual-sliding double-keypad design, similar to its predecessor, the Pantech Duo smartphone. The screen rotates automatically when you switch sliders. There are curved delineations separating each line, as well as two tiny nubs around the number 5, but aside from that the keypad is quite flat. It also felt quite small and narrow. Slide the phone to the side, and you'll reveal a full QWERTY keyboard at this point, the screen orientation will shift to landscape mode and you'll need to turn the phone 90 degrees to the right. A numeric keypad slides downwards for phone dialing, while a QWERTY keyboard slides outwards from the side for convenient text messaging. It has a sleek, dual slider design with the benefit of a full QWERTY keypad and 3G speed. The 1.3-megapixel camera on the Matrix can take pictures in four different resolutions (1,280x960, 1,024x768, 640x480, and 320x240), four white-balance settings, four color effects, and three quality settings. Supported by AT&T's high-speed 3G HSDPA network, the Matrix can feature live video conversations with Video Share, download music over-the-air with AT&T Mobile Music, and watch streaming video content with CV. Via A-GPS technology, AT&T Navigator gives turn-by-turn directions with maps, ensuring travelers are never lost.
