Review: ZTE Salute
Apps
New applications are limited to those of the Verizon Get It Now quality. There are only a handful of free apps. Most cost several dollars, and more than a few are subscription services that incur monthly fees. The Salute is not meant to be an "app phone."
Bluetooth
The Salute comes with Bluetooth on board. Pairing it with mono headsets was a breeze. Call quality was awful. You're better of using a wired headset for phone calls if you need to go hands-free. The Salute supports a limited number of Bluetooth profiles. I was able to pair with with computers and other phones to push pictures around, but stereo Bluetooth isn't supported.
Clock
The Salute has a great on-screen clock. When the screen is locked, a press of any button will light up the screen, which aptly displays a nice, large clock. It is easily read from an arm's length (though not as easily outside).
GPS
The only navigation option with the Salute is VZ Navigator. On most phones, VZ Navigator works perfectly fine. The Salute's slower wireless data speeds meant, however, that maps and directions loaded incredibly slow. They were so slow, in fact, that you're better off using a dedicated in-vehicle GPS unit. The Salute's navigation features work, but only just, and too slowly to be of use in a fast-moving car.
