Cecilia over at our sister site CuteGeek.com posted her review on the Pantech Matrix Pro today, and while she liked the way the phone look, her overall impression wasn’t that great for the phone.

She pointed out that the UI for the phone wasn’t that appealing and that pretty much has to do with the fact it’s a Windows Mobile OS, but with Microsoft coming out with a better more stylish version of their mobile OS later this year, her impression might have been different.

Check out the review here.

The Palm Treo Pro finally has a home, it’s shackling up with Sprint and will be available starting March 15th.

The Palm Treo Pro is a Windows Mobile Pocket PC Phone, it has a full QWERTY keyboard and Touh Screen, and what is so interesting about the touch screen it doesn’t look like a touch screen, and you may not realize it is one until you actually touch it.

The Treo Pro comes with Built in GPS, Built in Wi-Fi that can be enabled with 1 touch, and the center button glows when you have a voice mail. (Can be disabled) The Palm Treo Pro on Sprint will also come loaded with Sprint TV, Sprint Music and Pocket Express.

I have been using a Palm Treo Pro for nearly 4 months now and it is one of the easiest phones to text on. But the QWERTY keyboard kind of fools you, at first it looks too small for your fingers but it isn’t and is actually comfortable to text with.

Again the phone will be available from Sprint on the 15th of March and will sell for $199.99 with a two year contract.

Today the Samsung memoir for T-Mobile arrived at my door step and I did a quick Unboxing video and thought I would share it with you all. You can expect a review in the next week or two.

I made a quick video, kind of rushed it because well I was in a rush. Enjoy!

Pantech has done it again, if you recall two years ago in November they gave us what I considered one of the best phones in 2008 the Pantech Duo. Now they give us the Matrix Pro a phone similar to the Pantech Duo but with a faster processor, newer sleekr elegant design and and Windows Mobile 6.1.

Like the Duo the Matrix Pro is a dual slider phone, but unlike the Duo the Matrix Pro works on at&t’s 3G network for faster mobile internet speeds, and with the bluetooth pal function you can easily share your mobile internet with your laptop. (Just don’t tell at&t you’re doing that)

The Matrix Pro has a beautiful 2.4” color display, full qwerty keyboard which is great for texting and IM’ing on, it also has a 2 megapixel camera that does both stills and video, GPS and supports up to a 32 GB SD card.

We will have an unboxing of the phone later today, and you can expect a review in the next week or so.

Don’t have a final word on pricing but as soon as I do I will update this post. The phone will be available from at&t starting today!

Not only will Widows Mobile 6.5 have a full fledge browser like the iPhone and Samsung instict but it will also have improved finger navigation, they will also make it easier for Windows Smartphone users to backup their information to the web for free so that when they change phones they can sync that data back to their phone. There will also be a marketplace similar to the Google App and Apple App store.

Check out the video demo below.
