Default We're Giving Away a Pantech Matrix Pro Windows Mobile Smartphone!

Remember that Pantech Matrix Pro mega-giveaway that Rocco announced a bit over a week ago? We're it's now our turn: Smartphone Thoughts is giving away a brand new Pantech Matrix Pro, and a $100 AT&T Wireless gift card, to one lucky winner. Because this device is carrier-locked to AT&T, the $100 gift card is for AT&T, this contest will be limited residents of the USA.

Our contests starts today and runs until May the 2nd, midnight (GMT -7). All you have to do to enter is post a response to this post, telling me which mobile phone you're using now, and how the Pantech Matrix Pro would improve your daily smartphone experience. Does it have a feature that your current mobile phone lacks? If so, what is it? That's it! I'll selecft a winner the morning of May 4th, with entries counting as long as they were posted before midnight on the 2nd.

UPDATE: Please only post once. Multiple posts will disqualify you. If it's your first post in our forums, it will be held for moderation, so it may take up to 48 hours for you to see it.

I'm currently using a Samsung Blackjack with AT&T. The most annoying thing about my Blackjack it that I can't dial numbers with letters (such as 1 800 CALL ATT) since it solely uses a QWERTY keyboard. Sometimes, it's the simple things that cause the most problems.

This phone would actually replace my wife's Pantech Duo, which fell out of her car in a grocery store parking lot during a rain storm recently. I was able to breathe life back into it through a variety of methods, including replacing the battery, but it isnt quite what it was.

This phone looks like a nice upgrade from her Duo, which she likes very much. The dual slider feature is great, and yet the phone remains small. The smartphone form factor works much better for her than a touch screen, as the thing is pretty much loose in her purse.

She absolutely has to have a WM 6.1 phone, as we syncronize our calendars. The week she was without her Duo was nearly cause for Calendar Crash Divorce!

My daughter was at soccer practice @ school and her bag was ransacked. Lost her phone and iPod, so this would go to her

Unfortunately I don't have a smartphone. I have to live vicariously through my wife's Treo 800W. I love the fact that the Pantech has the dual keyboards- dialing on the Treo's qwerty keyboard can be a pain in a rush

I already use AT&T, so adding data should not be too difficult to get past my wife

Right now I'm running an xv6700 on Verizon Wireless. The phone is great, but I love the idea of the Pantech's dual keyboards. After being on a touch screen phone the idea of hardware keyboards is actually pretty enticing.

Talking I need an entry into this giveaway...

Jason,

I actually don't have a phone at all. My husband and son have one though and their phones are through Kricket...that's all I know. My husband says that if I can get a phone on my own my husband says that he'll get me service (how sweet is he-yeah right)...

Thanks for the giveaway!!! As usual, they're always great!

I have an aging ATT Tilt. I would give the phone to my College bound Daughter. She currently has a SE580i which is difficult to text with. Besides using the excellent QWERTY keyboard, she can use the phone's WM6.1 features to take notes, surf the web, store and run Power Point presentations for projects, check email, and load other WM apps that can help her with her studies.

I currently use an HTC Touch. Since I've had this, I find that I spend more and more time accessing email and my other Outlook information via the phone. The thing is that the lack of a real keyboard gets old somethings, so the keyboard in this one would be really useful.
