I have been using the Pantech Matrix Pro from AT&T pretty heavenly in the last few weeks and I am starting to like the phone more and more. I was a little disappointed about the thickness of the phone but now I have to say that it actually feels right in my hands. The rounded edges makes it feel great and easy to handle the phone.
