Apps

The 2700 can download the simplest applications via Sprint's online portal. The apps available include things such as games, organizers, etc. The most interesting set of apps is in the Sprint "Social Zone", which is a newer place to find some types of social networking applications. Options include things such as PhotoBucket, Rabble, Xanga and a MySpace application that you have to pay for. I attempted to purchase it just to see how much it would cost, but the phone wouldn't permit me. I think it is uncool for Sprint to charge users to access MySpace (outside of already existing data fees).

Bluetooth

The 2700 supports mono Bluetooth headsets and a few other profiles. Pairing was no problem, and call quality via mono headsets was very good. Pairing with other phones to push contact data or photos was also a snap. I had no issues in testing out the Bluetooth at all.

Clock

The clock can be customized in a number of different ways. The default view of the phone (when keyboard is locked) shows just the date with no time. You have to go into the phone's settings and change the "Foreground" settings and adjust the clock to one that suits you. It can do large and small analog/digital readouts, a world clock, or also show your calendar in big and small sizes. I found "Large Digital" to be the best for quickly checking the time.
