As a used phone, I expected some overall wear. That being said, the battery only lasts just over a day if I leave bluetooth on, and about 2-3 days with it off. The sliding functions are solid. I like the qwerty text screen. It's been a while since I had this last, so it's taking some time to reacquaint myself with the phone's nuances. The internet access is outdated, so I have to find alternate ways to find and download special ringers or songs.

I got this texting phone for my wife, who was using a non-texting phone to do lots of texting. Pro: Dual slider makes phone calls easy, as well as a full QWERTY slider for texting. Solid feel. Con: Button arrangement, UI limitations Regarding the button arragement, in specific the circular pattern makes it very difficult to know which button you are pressing. There is a four-way rocker button around the center button, and around that rocker are 4 separate buttons. I've used the phone several times and it is all too easy to hit the wrong button. It looks cool I guess, but it is not very functional. The UI does not allow you to map the four-way rocker selections the way some other UIs allow that. So I cannot assign (for example) the left button to Bluetooth toggle. The QWERTY keyboard has pretty small buttons, but it isn't too bad to use. The spacing is almost too wide for quick thumb typing. It isn't intuitive how the four-way or other buttons will be mapped when in QWERTY mode - that is, will they be flipped "on their side" when the phone is on its side? I don't know without trying them. Overall, if you can get this phone for cheap (under $50 or so) it's not too bad. Especially if you don't like touchscreen phones and want a dedicated hardware dialer for simple phone calls.Read full review
While the Pantech matrix is a very stylish phone. It has allot to be desired. Although the design of a "Dual Slide" phone is interesting. The framework is rather flimsy. The Chassis of the phone its self is too wobbly. Many of you that have used the phone agree, when the phone vibrates, the "Wobbliness" causes the phone to make a nasty crackling noise, unless the phone is being held closed. As far as the built in features go. The camera is adequate. The media player and speaker make a great combination for an on the go Media center. I was not to thrilled with the cheap data/charge port, as I have had to fix it on one that I owned before. I do like that the SD card is located Externally. The battery is adequate as far as cellular use. But media use will drain the battery pretty quickly. I do rate this phone 4 out of 5 stars. It was good for its time. But now its better left as a back up.Read full review
Everything has strengths and weaknesses. It is not a smartphone but if you text alot and need immediate access to a real phone and physical keyboard to text it is a good phone. It can also take a memory stick with all your music, we all know many smartphones can't. If you are looking for apps and to impress your friends in 2016 it won't cut it.

As far as this goes - hypothetically it's wonderful. It has a lot of cool things on it that make me happy. However, it lacks some of the features that I would have liked to have. You can't set ring tones for for people in your contacts who text. You can set them for ring tones. A few other little things that aren't that big of a deal. The biggest problem is that this phone carries some bugs that seem to be a model problem and not an individual phone problem. It doesn't carry a charge well. I don't know if it is because I use it a lot more than my old model, but with the refurbs of this model that I had one completely died within a few days of having it. The messenger in all three I had doesn't work. In one model that I had you couldn't even hear the party on the other line unless you had it on speaker. The one I have now is good enough, but it was a lot of hassle at first to replace the ones that were not working. Ended up costing me more than if I had gone with a more expensive model. It also drops blue tooth but I don't know if that is a model problem or something that happens with most cell phones.Read full review
