Bluetooth

Pairing the Intensity II with my Bluetooth gear was easy enough, but performance wasn't great. With stereo speakers, the phone worked just fine. But with a Bluetooth headset, I had some reception trouble. My headset cut in and out constantly, and unless I kept still, it was tough to have a long conversation. Sound quality was also a bit garbled through my Bluetooth earpiece.

Clock

The phone has a medium sized clock on the standby screen, and you can choose from a few sizes and styles. Even the largest size wasn't large enough, and I found the black color of the clock's font to be tough to read. The clock does not persist through the phone's menus and apps, so if you want to check the time, you'll have to stop what you're doing and exit to the home screen.

GPS

The Samsung Intensity II uses VZ Navigator for turn-by-turn navigation. In my tests, VZ Navigator worked very well, and the phone had no trouble finding me and tracking me on my trip in and out of the city. The app also offers some cool location based features like local gas prices and local event listings. A VZ Navigator subscription costs $10 extra per month, but if you'll use navigation a lot, it's definitely worth the price of admission.
