I own the Duo. I honestly, would rather the Matrix. The biggest issue I have is I was not told up-front before I spent close to $500 on this phone that it does not have a built-in GPS receiver. So in addition to what I have already spent on the phone, plus the extra cost for the data plan and subscription to Navigator, I now find out I need to spend another $100 on a GPS receiver. I am very unhappy about this, as this was why I bought the phone in the first place! The Matrix has built-in GPS from what I can see, and even though it doesn’t run Windows mobile, it is far superior from my standpoint.
I’ve had the pantech duo since july of this year. Personally, it sucks. The camera is pretty week, very bad pictures far away. The sound is so-so. Its not as good as my last phone (sony ericsson walkman) My phone sometimes goes blank and continues that way for 1-2 minutes. I do not recomend this phone, only to users who like the dual slider.
