Operating System And Connectivity

• Built on the Android v2.1 Éclair operating system, the Intercept is upgradable to Android v2.2. The phone connects to the 2G and 3G wireless networks and is Wi-Fi compatible. For transferring files and synchronizing data, the phone connects to a personal computer through a USB cable. The phone comes with a variety of Bluetooth profiles, or modes, such as hands-free (HFP), headset (HSP), object push (OPP) and phone book access (PBAP).
  
  

Camera And Messaging

• The Intercept features a 3.2-megapixel camera that captures still images at up to 2,048-by-1,536 pixels of resolution and is capable of recording video. Several camera functions, including geotagging and auto focus, give the phone added photographic capabilities. Geotagging embeds map and GPS coordinate data into each image. The Intercept supports text, photo, video and voice messages and mobile email through connections to an Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP4) or Post Office Protocol (POP3) server. The phone also supports push email, which delivers incoming email directly to the phone and does not require the recipient to log in and manually check for new messages.
  
  

GPS

• A built-in assisted-GPS application, which uses cellular tower and satellite signals, gives the Intercept navigational functionality. A-GPS technology is more accurate than standalone GPS units. In conjunction with the A-GPS, the Intercept also provides location-based services functionality, which gives contact information for nearby commercial and emergency services, such as hospitals, police stations, gas stations and restaurants. A-GPS and LBS technology work together to allow third parties, such as parents or employers, to track the location of the device.
