Helio Ocean 2 vs. Pantech Matrix Pro?

I'm switching away from Verzion in December to both get a better phone, and because both Sprint and Virgin Mobile are cheaper. I know that Virgin Mobile runs on Sprint's towers, however, my father said that Verizon had trouble getting service on my college campus a few years ago. I really like the Helio Ocean 2, but the Pantech Matrix Pro is a smartphone. Please keep in mind that if I go with the Pantech, I will NOT be using a data plan, because it costs too much for my budget. The Ocean 2 has the data plan included. What I need is a good messaging phone that can sync calendar (or at least has a calendar), so it comes down to which is better coverage. Please give an honest answer on this.
Also, keep in mind that there is both a Sprint Wireless store and a kiosk for Virgin Mobile in my town.

Not sure if I mentioned it yet, but the college campus is Indiana University of Pennsylvania.
Also, some sort of assignment book would be helpful, as I would like this phone to replace my planner.
 
I would definitely go with the Matrix Pro. Both phones are actually made by Pantech. From my knowledge, Virgin mobile and Sprint do not carry the Matrix Pro. The Matrix Pro is AT&T Exclusive. But as you stated, if you need your calendar and such, the Matrix Pro is a better choice over the Ocean 2. The Matrix Pro also comes with Mobile Excel and Mobile Word. Good luck on your search!
