Apps

The Matrix Pro can download and run a number of third-party applications, such as those offered by Google and other vendors. This includes Java applications and games. It comes pre-loaded with Microsoft's Mobile Office suite, which includes Word, Excel and PowerPoint.

Bluetooth

I had no problems pairing the Matrix Pro to multiple different devices. Headsets were no problem and same with other handsets. PCs, however, were a no-go for the Matrix Pro, as the profile is not supported. Both mono and stereo Bluetooth headsets are supported, and sound quality was surprisingly good through both. In fact, sound quality via stereo Bluetooth headphones surpassed that of the included earbuds.

Clock

The basic layout of the WinMo home screen has a nice, large digital clock at the top that is easily read from an arms length away. The problem is, the phone doesn't always show this screen when you wake it up. After the display times out and goes dark, pressing any button or key will wake it back up. What you'll see is the last screen that you used before the phone went to sleep. If that was the camera, then the camera comes back to life. If it was some folder, then that folder is what you see. Long story short, if you want to check the time quickly, be sure the Matrix Pro is set to the home screen before it goes to sleep.
