hey John Rhett enger' here so I picked up the Pantex matrix pro from AT&T Wireless yesterday I'll be using it ever since and I realized I was getting a lot of questions about preparing it to the iPhone so I want to give you guys a real quick demonstration of how windows mobile 6.1 standard so that's the non touch screen version compares with the iPhone on some of the key features and key things that you guys do on a daily basis so I'm gonna compare unlocking changing ringtones going from ring to vibrate how to send a text message how to view a web page adding a new contact and adding a new calendar item some of just the most important things that you do on an everyday basis so this is just going to be an example of windows mobile 6.1 standard and I'm going to use the pantech matrix obviously different windows mobile devices your experience may vary just a little bit so the first thing both devices are locked to go ahead and unlock them to unlock the pantech matrix in the windows 6.1 windows mobile 6.1 go ahead and hit a button you get an unlock message right there I will hit unlock now tells you to push the star key so I'll slide this open and I'll push the star key and now the device is unlocked to unlock the iPhone push this button the top of the device slide that over and now the phone is unlocked so let's say you are going into a meeting you're going into class and you want to change your phone from ring to vibrate so you don't disrupt remember is around you I'll show you guys how to do that quick and easily on both devices so on the pantech what you'll do is you'll take advantage of these sliding panels you'll scroll down where it says profile select it and select vibrator now it says vibrate right there this little icon at the top showing you that the phone is on vibrate on the iPhone to switch from ring to vibrate take those switch on the side give it a flip little icon right there letting you know you're on vibrate and you are good to go so texting is a very big deal is important to me I'm sure it's important to you Hanako the text using the devices so will you take advantage again of these sliding panels will go to the top glue to text messages will hit the compose button and now we can go ahead and start typing - and start typing the message so it takes a few steps but not something terribly difficult on the iPhone to send a text we go ahead hit text drive I got some messages and that's really it hit the compose but at the top and you are good to go I'm back out of both of these ok the next thing and one thing that's most important to me on a mobile device is the web browsing so how do you visit a web page so I'm going to chain you guys that right now go ahead and open up the Start menu we'll go to Internet Explorer and let's go ahead and open up let's say you want to open up pocketnow.com so hit the menu button address bar and now you can have to hit delete to go back and you can start typing your address and there you go nothing too bad there on the iPhone you go hit Safari hit the bar at the top soft keyboard automatically comes up and you can start typing your address nice and easily there as well so let's back out at both of these screens okay and let's say you want to add a new contact you just made a new friend just picked up a girl in a bar or whatever it might be and you want to add her phone number so let me show you guys how to do that here again we'll use the sliding panels so you want to go ahead and add a new contact go to the sliding panel it's right there at the top you have a contacts button down below hit the soft key hit new and now you can add a new contact nice and easily to add a new contact on the iPhone you can either go through the phone menu or hit contacts pulls up your whole list of contacts here you let the plus button and now you can add my first name last name and whatever you choose all right let's say you want to go ahead and change ringtones you're sick of what you have as your standard you want to hear something new to change ringtones on windows mobile 6.1 once again you use those panels slide over to ringtones select it pulls up your sounds manager and you can pick whatever tune you like find the one you want and just hit done on the iPhone to change the ringtones you have to go to settings you have to go to sounds and then from here you can select your ringtones and you can scroll through and take a pick so let's say you want to add a new calendar item so on Windows Mobile take to the calendar scrolling panels new appointment go ahead and select it subject start date and you can put it all right there on the iPhone you go and hit calendar and again take advantage that plus button and you can go through and start typing nice and easily right there so guys this is a real quick example of how different features and different basic functions work on the operating systems windows mobile 6.1 standard so again that's non touchscreen and Apple's iPhone hope you found this helpful for exclusive content to be sure to follow me on twitter at twitter.com/zeromd coming days for a full review of the pantech matrix pro see you guys in the next one bye
