Bluetooth

The Sentio supports a number of Bluetooth profiles. I was easily able to pair it with both mono and stereo headphones. Sound quality through both types of headphones was hellish. In fact, I'd say it was about the worst I've heard on a phone. The amount of noise was ridiculous, and the sound faded in and out. Music rarely played for more than 10 or 15 seconds without dropping out completely. I was also able to pair with other phones, and pass photos and sound files back and forth, though speeds were unimpressive.

Clock

When the Sentio's display is asleep, press any button to wake it. The unlock screen displays the time in a nice, large digital readout. Too bad it's invisible outside; you'll never see it. It works fine indoors, though. The bummer is that there are no controls to alter the clock. You can set it to 12- or 24-hour modes, but you can't change the appearance. The time is displayed on the home screen, but it is so small, and the Sentio's screen stinks so much, that it is unreadable. The time is not visible when using most applications. The Sentio does have a stopwatch, world clock and alarm clock, each its own application.

GPS

The Sentio offers TeleNav's GPS application as the only navigation option. Unfortunately, I was unable to access it. If T-Mobile is able to help me open and use the application, we'll update this section. However, my experiences with TeleNav on other devices has always been good. It does a good job of routing directions between points, and its turn-by-turn functions work well.
