Bluetooth

Bluetooth worked well on the Pantech Pursuit. I was able to pair with my headsets with no trouble. The phone can also push pictures over Bluetooth to your PC, and this partly makes up for the lack of a USB cable.

Clock

There are a bunch of different clock styles on the Pantech Pursuit. Some are fun and whimsical, but some are more serious, with a dual clock option for world travelers. The phone also offers a clock on the lock screen, and keeps a clock up top in the notification bar in most apps.

 

GPS

The Pantech Pursuit offers plenty of location-based apps. For navigation, you can subscribe to AT&T Navigator, and it worked well in my tests, following me on a few trips in and out of the city. There's also a local search app in Where, though again, you'll have to pay a subscription. You can also subscribe to AT&T Family Map. This app gives you the location of the rest of your family, provided they are using compatible phones. The camera can also geo-tag photos with coordinates so you can view location info with your pics.

 

Extras

There are a ton of extra little apps and demos on the Pantech Pursuit. Almost none of these are free, and it's shocking which apps require a subscription. There's a weather app, My-Cast, from Garmin, and that's the best free app available. There's also a mobile banking app, but it doesn't work with my bank (Bank of America, a very large bank). AT&T charges to use MobiTV for streaming video, Hip-Hop Official and even IMDB. I understand charging for a streaming video service, though I would never recommend users shell out the cash. However, it's just silly to charge for access to a Web site like IMDB that would otherwise be free.

If you want to download more apps, the Pursuit gets a link to AT&T's AppCenter. The AppCenter mostly offers more games, ringtones and other very basic apps.
