Apps

There is a rudimentary browser-based Apps Catalog available to the Twist. Users can choose to download applications such as WeatherBug, WikiMobile, Guitar Tuner, and a handful of others.

Bluetooth

The Twist supports mono and stereo Bluetooth headsets. Pairing with either kind was a snap. Sound quality through both was decent, though I thought the sound quality via mono headsets was poorer than I've heard on phones in recent memory.

Clock

The clock on the Twist is awesome! When in sleep mode, a quick press of the D-pad will wake the phone and the digital clock fills the entire screen. It's HUGE! I love it. So, so, so easy to read.

GPS

The Twist has GPS and works with Verizon's VZNavigator software. In testing, I found the GPS to be very accurate and it was quick to locate me when outdoors. Verizon's GPS software hasn't changed, and it works well. Plotting routes is a snap, and it picked logical and quick routes.
