14 Oct 08 AT&T finally launches Pantech Matrix for $80
In case you don’t remember, we talked about the Pantech Matrix at AT&T a couple of weeks ago back in Septemer, and the cellphone was officially launched today. It is already listed on the AT&T website with a price tag of $80 with rebate + service agreement, or $280 if you want a free phone.
Like previously mentioned, the Matrix cellphone has an interesting and unique detail – dual slide out keypads. It means there are 2 sliding keyboards, one is numeric while the other is QWERTY. In terms of multimedia, the Matrix can read MP3, MIDI, iMelody, MMF, WAV, SMAF, and AAC+ format files.
The battery on this Pantech cellphone can last 3 hours of talk time, which is below the average and should be improved in the next version. On stand-by mode it works up to 10 hours.
By using a microSD card, the memory can be expanded to 4GB – lots of mp3s to listen. XM Radio and music subscription services like napster and eMusic are also included.

[...] Pantech and Verizon are about to launch a new world phone, the Escapade which is supposedly coming on August 21. The phone will work both on Verizon’s CDMA network and on other GSM networks which means you can take it with you at all times, no matter where you decide to travel to. The phone will not impress you with specs as it comes with a measly 2-megapixel shooter and GPS. We will be waiting for a price tag and more consistent information on the Escapade and we will keep you updated. [...]
