The Matrix Pro doesn't require a data plan like the iphone. You can stick with pay-per-use, or sneak in the cheaper MediaNet plan or whatever ATT calls it these days.
It also doesn't require a 2-year contract. You can opt to pay full price, which is currently $379.99 on the ATT website. Pretty reasonable price for any smart phone.
And since it's a Windows Mobile phone, you can utilize the various freeware and commercial apps out there. And since it has a GPS, I'm pretty sure Garmin XT will work on this. So you don't have to pay for the ATT's navigation service.
It has a microSD slot, so you can expand the memory. The ATT website says 32GB.
And it has copy/paste.
So "value" is a subjective term. For some, it's the price of the phone. For others, it's what you can actually do with the phone.
“The other one is a biggie, and it's something very noticeable in the videos: touch sensitivity is pretty bad. Using the virtual keyboard proved to be far too painful, and we're pretty sure it wasn't multitouch-friendly.”
