Pantech Matrix Pro (C820)

Successor to the Matrix released late last year, the new Matrix Pro is updated with a larger, more colorful screen, an upgraded 2.0-megapixel camera, more memory and a faster processor.

To stay compact, the handset has unique double-sliding keyboards -- a QWERTY keyboard to type emails and a numeric pad to dial calls.

Running on Windows Mobile 6.1, the smartphone supports threaded chat-style text messaging, corporate and personal email and AT&T services such as MobiTV, Napster Mobile, eMusic Mobile, AT&T Mobile Banking and CV on-demand video.

"The Matrix Pro is a significant evolution in this dual-sliding family of phones," said Michael Woodward, Vice President of Smart Devices for AT&T Mobility. "The Matrix Pro will appeal to anyone who wants a powerful smartphone with a great design."

The Matrix Pro will be available starting Feb. 24 for $180 after a two-year service agreement and a $50 mail-in rebate.
