hey everyone Daniel Webster for packing.com and this is the software review of the Pantech Burst one of the very first 4g LTE devices for AT&T and surprisingly with Gingerbread and the proprietary software that it comes with it runs very quickly so let's check out the software so the Pantech Burst is running Android 2.3 Gingerbread and surprisingly pantech has not included too much proprietary software or too many proprietary user interfaces on this particular device so let's just go into some of the live wallpapers and this one is one that's available on the Pantech Burst so we'll just go into the live wallpapers so here we can go in and we can view the Firefly which is one that comes on the Pantech Burst we can go down and view a couple of others that come on the Pantech Burst and that's the text River and you can change the words if you can see it it says Pocket now on here and we can also view the weather if we like so it will update periodically depending on what kind of settings you have so let's just go back so here we can view some of the widgets that are available on the Pantech Burst so we have all of our Android widgets and we also have the pantech widget so we can have the bookmark calendar clock contacts email all this other great stuff that's available to the Pantech Burst when a social snapshot is pretty nice let's go there I can show you how this work so we can select a style and this allows you to update all of your statuses from various social networks so let's just click on here let's say we wanted to add let's choose this one here so we'll click on that one and now if the one can log in and add my own social snapshots and then I can create it through Facebook Twitter or through MySpace if you're still using that so let's just go into some of the settings on the Pantech Burst here so we have it personalized which allows us to change our themes which is a pretty neat so if you want to have many different themes you can add them and you can have your own user specific themes here so if i want i can choose play and then i can just go back let me just choose that again so you can choose play and click done so now we have the play theme and as you can see it did change some of my widgets of a scroll over it added a music widget here and some other news and weather information so it does change your widget so you can have many different widgets set up for your various theme so let's go into some of the applications here so we have a lark lock which is a proprietary to the Pantech Burst so amazon kindle we've all seen that 18 t code scanner 18 t family map a few AT&T proprietary software titles that are available on this particular device so they have google books I added the Bluetooth GPS because I was playing around with this device we have our calculator calendar camcorder and this does record up to 720p HD it does not record a full 1080p but with such a budget device it's a pretty still a pretty good resolution for a camcorder and go to camera and this does have a 5 megapixel camera so we can add our GPS location we can change many different settings we can change it directly to the camcorder from here you can change it to the front and as you can see will view my camera so there's the front and the front-facing camera is VGA resolution so this is pretty good so I'll just go back to the back one and go out into the settings and you change many different things we can add a single shot multi-shot division shot and we can change the brightness settings and we can also go into zoom clock tools allows you to view world times and we can also add a timer and a stopwatch so we have a digital compass and we can have you that's pointing north this does also lock onto your GPS location if you want it to so here you can view that it's pointing north and it will show us our speed and our distance traveled we have our contacts and we have a unit converter so if I want I can change it to length volume any one of these nice units and then now we can change it to here and we can input our units and then have it calculate on the bottom we have a document viewer I don't have any documents on this particular device right now it doesn't come with a micro SD card but if you do have a micro SD card with many documents you can view them directly from your Pantech Burst we can view all of our downloads that we have downloaded from either the Google Chrome browser on the device or whatever other applications of use we have an email a different email right here that we can input our email address in we have Facebook featured apps which 80 thinks are great apps to have we can scroll over to different categories and we can view some of those apps most of them are free but a lot of them are paid for we have a Flash Player of course we have our gallery which is just the stock Android gallery we have our Gmail handy memo which allows you to create memos quick and easily from your Pantech Burst Google Latitude Lync pack which I'll show you in a few minutes we have live TV unfortunately they didn't give me a live TV subscription to try out on this particular device Google Maps we have messaging which is our SMS or MMS messaging application we have movies which allows you to download movies directly from the end spot service so if I wanted to I could uh let's say I want to download this movie I can rent it for 24 hours for $4.99 or I can also watch the trailer looks as though there's a club price which is a little bit cheaper our music player but I don't have any music installed right now we can scroll over my at&t we have a navigation which is the google navigation news and with pc suite connector which allows you to connect either through a USB or through Wi-Fi if you're connected to a Wi-Fi network we'll have our phone places quick light which allows you to use the front-facing camera over a Wi-Fi connection so you can as use a quick you can share videos directly from your Pantech Burst to the quick service or you can also do a streaming video s board which is a neat application we should have same group messages either through MMS or through SMS so we can just go back we have Google search we have sketchpad allows you to draw something so if I wanted to create a new sketch here and just type oh I don't know hello or something like that and save it directly to the Pantech Burst we have stocks so I can view all these stocks I can input my own stocks and I can also view my mobile portfolio if I have something on here Google Talk Twitter video player which is the stock Android player voice dialer voice memo voice search weather our web which is a little interesting that they use to graph it for that we've got YouTube and also YP mobile so we'll go into some of the settings here and you can view all these we also have a setup wizard which allows you to customize everything we have wireless and networks so one interesting thing is this does allow for tethering and portable hotspots I'm not sure if the SIM card that they gave me does have a portable hotspot but it does allow me to connect so if you have that on your plan and you'll probably be able to use the Pantech Burst to connect to a laptop or a tablet device so there we have the tethering activated as you can see the little blue Wi-Fi signals will just turn that off we have sound settings so we can change all those we can change all of our ringtones if we like and we can change the display so we can have the screen timeout or brightness all the other great stuff language and keyboard this device does come with swipes so you cannot change that and it also has the stock Gingerbread keyboard which is pretty nice as well ATT software update so instead of going into about phone and then going checking update you just go to the ATT software update and it allows you to check for an update through the 18d software update service here one nice feature inside the applications and if you go down to menu can uninstall directly from the application instead of having to go to the menu and then settings and all the other stuff - a delete and application engine application directly from the applications folders so I'll run a speed test unfortunately I don't have LTE service in my area so I'll begin this test just running on HSPA+ I was able to get eight point one five megabits per second download and two point four three megabits per second upload so that's pretty good speeds for just two HSPA+ so now we'll run a few benchmark tests so on smart bench 2012 I was able to get 2129 and the productivity index on the gaming index I got 3,000 160s was really fast so let's do another benchmark so one quarter and standardized over to get 2947 so now I'll run the Linpack pro so running a single thread on Linpack Pro I was able to get fifty one point two seven four in flux at one point six three seconds now running multi thread and I was able to eighty point five four eight in flops in two point zero nine seconds on that multi thread so this has been the software review of the Pantech Burst on eighty one of the very first 4g LTE devices for eighteen
