Apps

The Strive does provide access to a limited set of Java apps through the AT&T portal. Users can open the browser and download at will. It's called the App Center, and offers stuff such as games, ringtones, tools, graphics, themes, etc. Other apps that are preloaded include Loopt, Mobile Banking, MobiTV, MobiVJ, My-Cast Weather, Where, WikiMobile, XM Radio and Yellowpages.

Bluetooth

The Strive offers a number of Bluetooth profiles, including those for mono and stereo headsets, as well as object push. I had no problems pairing the Strive to headsets, though pairing it with PCs gave me some trouble. Phone calls via mono headsets sounded great, and music via stereo headsets wasn't too shabby, either.

Clock

When the Strive is asleep, hit any button to wake the screen. The time is displayed in the upper right corner. It's big enough to read with a quick glance, though it wouldn't hurt if it were a hair larger. I couldn't find a way to alter the size, location, or appearance of the clock through the Strive's menus. Pity.

GPS

The Strive comes loaded with AT&T Navigator, which is by all accounts a decent application. Personally, I can't stand to pay for a service that is also offered for free elsewhere, but if you have $10 to burn each month, feel free to do so. AT&T Navigator performs all the get-me-there tricks you need. That means if you get lost, it'll figure that out and re-route you. It also calls out turns so you know exactly where to go.
