Review: Pantech Laser
Apps
The Laser has access to AT&T's library of Java-based applications. These are lightweight apps, but AT&T has quite a number of them. Most of them cost between $1 and $3, if they don't require a subscription to use.
Bluetooth
The Laser offers Bluetooth support for mono and stereo headsets. I had no problem connecting to either type of headset. Call quality through a mono headset was god awful. It sounded like someone was trying to call me from 1935. The sound was terrible. Music fared better through stereo headphones. The Laser can also connect to other devices, such as PCs, and I passed photo files back and forth with ease.
Clock
Press the lock key quickly and the Laser displays a large, digital clock. It is easy to read. Once unlocked, the default behavior of the central home screen is to display a large analog clock. This clock looks great, but if you don't like it, you can switch to a digital clock.
GPS
The Laser offers AT&T's $10-per-month navigation service. Google also offers a basic Java version of Maps for feature phones, but downloading and using it is a chore. It's not preloaded on the Laser AT&T Navigator works fine, and is a capable piece of software at routing and determining directions. However, given that stand-alone GPS units can be purchased for $100, you're much better off going that route or downloading Google Maps.
