Pantech Matrix Pro Phone

Pantech has unveiled its Matrix Pro smartphone, which will be available via AT&T. This Windows Mobile 6.1 powered device can be considered as the successor to the Pantech Duo, which was launched way back in Oct 2007. The most noticeable feature of the Matrix Pro will probably be its sideways-sliding QWERTY keyboard. While there isn’t any information on when the phone will be available, word is that it will be retailing for $179.99, and will have the following features:

• 850/1900/2100MHz UMTS/HSDPA
• 2 megapixel camera
• Stereo Bluetooth
• microSD card expansion (up to 32GB)
