Today Pantech and AT&T announced the retail availability of the Pantech Matrix Pro, a Windows Mobile Standard Edition smartphone that picks up where the Pantech Duo and the Pantech Matrix left off.

The Matrix Pro is a dual-sliding smartphone that features both a traditional 12-key alphanumeric keypad as well as a 3-row QWERTY keyboard for quick text input. A 2 megapixel camera is on-board, as is aGPS for navigation tasks, and the phone works on all four major GSM/EDGE network bands as well as the 850/1900/2100MHz UMTS/HSDPA 3G network bands.

The phone is available today for US$179.99, after rebate, with a two year contract. We expect to have a video review of the Matrix Pro up within the next few days.
