hey everyone Daniel Webster here from pocketnow.com and this is the software tour of the motorola Bravo mb 520 so let's get started so the Bravo is running Android 2.1 along with the motoblur 1.5 user interface so that gives you many pages that you can put applications on or other programs or widgets so if i want i can add a widget here i just hold down and go to either motorola widgets or android widgets so i'm going to choose one of the motorola ones here and we have many different widgets that we can choose from you can also download other widgets on the android market for the android widgets or sometimes you can also find the ones for the motorola widgets so let's say that we wanted to add a date and time just hold this here and select the clock style and we'll just click done and it shows the date and time so i'm just going to go into the applications here and we have a few proprietary applications we have the motoblur accounts which gives us our account information we have alarm timer which is different on this particular device opposed to different android devices we can change the clock if we like just go down here and let's say we wanted to change it to this sort of modern style we can just go click on here and then change our clock also have a timer there we have AT&T family map but the only thing that that does is it sends a link and turns this into a bookmark so all it does is launch the browser to the AT&T family map website we have 18 teen maps and AT&T Navigator both of them are paid for service that costs around ten dollars a month we have AT&T music which is also paid for service and I believe that this costs four dollars and ninety-nine cents a month so just exit out of that we have 18 T radio which is how you listen to the FM radio on this particular device so you can either subscribe or go to the FM tuner so I'm just going to the FM tuner I don't have any headphones plugged in right now so we won't be able to hear anything but we'll just wait for it to load and there we go we have the FM signal so we go back and go back again we have the AT&T Wi-Fi hot spot so that program show you all of the AT&T Wi-Fi hot spots in your area you can also search by zip code if you like and city and state no back a browser of course calculator which is the default calculator on any Android device the calendar which is also the default calendar we have a camcorder which as I've said in the hardware tour is only CIF resolution so very low resolution camcorder and our camera which is a 3.1 megapixel camera go into our contacts we like go to our dialer unfortunately this device does not have speed dial like if you begin typing a name or number it doesn't recognize the number off the back so let's say if i was to type 206 or something it wouldn't give me a list of contacts in my contact list so let's go back we have DLNA which is an awesome program if you've ever used media sharing over your network this phone allows you to do that so you can share your media from the device or you can also share your media on other computers or network drives or like a playstation wii or xbox 360 you can do all that and just play it on the phone itself or you can play the media on the phone on those particular devices so we'll just go back and we have email and a file explorer so a pretty generic just shows us foam files and shared folders the shared folders is where you can also set up to share folders over your network just go back gallery I don't have any pictures on this device right now so you don't see too much just go back and gmail help center instant messaging so you can add an instant messaging account I believe there's quite a few one here let's go in here oh no just a matte windows live messenger and yahoo latitude which is the google application that shows your friends or family or whoever where you are and you can also view them and course Google Maps pulsing that the android market we all sing that media share which ties into the DLNA application and that allows you to shares or media messaging so you can view your universal inbox your text messaging your facebook or your Twitter just go back we have mobile banking which is pretty cool if your bank is on the list unfortunately not every single financial institution is on there so you'll have to load that application and search for your particular bank or credit union or whatnot mobile video that uses that plays videos but it only plays over the network connection so it won't work over Wi-Fi so we'll just disable this here and it connects to the singular video website so we'll just go back can also view mobile TV which also works over the data connection unfortunately doesn't work over 3g so i can hit continue but it costs around ten dollars a month we'll just go back we have music unfortunately don't have any music on here also because this is a brand new device I'm it's I haven't synced up everything yet but we can view artists this is all the default android 2.1 music browser we have google navigation news which we can sign up for many different news accounts i have the travel channel photos right here someone i can view any one of these articles and just go back phone portal which allows us to sink our device either with a USB connection or through Wi-Fi so we can share our media we can also download our text messages to our computers and save our contacts and all that other great stuff and just go back we have places which is a google service and that goes as many different categories to search through restaurants coffee bars hotels all the other great stuff and it shows us our nearby location so we'll just go back we have quick office which allows us to view all of our documents and we've probably all seen that before or settings social networking so we have Twitter and Facebook and probably some other things on here let's see mine is just set up for Twitter and Facebook so just go back Google Talk so we've all seen that before or task manager this has its own proprietary task manager and you can also set it up so it auto ends application so it helped save the battery so just go back text messaging vlingo voice which allows us to tap and speak so blockbuster and that will find the closest blockbuster to me and give me the phone number and all the other contacts information hopefully it works pretty quickly let's see here so we'll just hit okay and we're able to view the closest blockbuster to my proximity and can you voice commands which is similar to a google voice search and we can also go to where but that's a paid for application which across two dollars 99 cents we have YouTube and YP mobile if you want to use yellow pages a post using the internet or Google so another great feature that they've included on this device is swype keyboard so if you like to use the swype keyboard or if you ever have it works really great all you have to do is go move your finger and we've probably all seen this book before and you just move your finger across to the letters and it starts to type out the word so this has been the software tour of the motorola Bravo mb 520 if you
