Entertainment
The Incite comes with five built-in games: Solitaire, Ms. Pac-Man, Sudoku,
Block Breaker and Bubble Breaker. There's a MEdia Mall for shopping for
games, music, graphics, ring tones, videos, multimedia and other applications.
More music and videos available on the AT&T Music program, and the phone
comes with Windows Media player and an integrated music player for enjoying
new tunes, plus FM and XM satellite radio players.

Having access to satellite radio, songs and a few games is nice for a
quick cab ride or short subway journey.
For those wishing to troll the Internet for more videos, the Incite has
CV, an application that uses AT&T's high-speed data network to connect users
to news, sports, weather and entertainment videos.
AT&T's MEdia Net application browses weather, news and downloads ringtones
and multimedia, while the phone's browser connects to websites, plus downloads
new files and programs from the Internet.
The Incite's entertainment options are enough to get by on, but nothing
new or especially original is to be found here. And often making the most
of the media package takes a bit of money.
Internet
AT&T's 3G Broadband Connect network powers the Incite's Internet capabilities,
providing some of the fastest web surfing and email speeds available today.
AT&T's 3G network spreads across more than 300 metropolitan areas in the
United States and Incite users can find 3G capability in 60 countries abroad
and find an Internet connection in 150 countries. The Incite is a definite
asset for frequent international fliers.
Navigating the web on the Incite is simple and a jog wheel on the right
side of the phone makes it easy to flip through the latest headlines before
jetting into the boardroom, although it may be hard to read the fine print
on the screen.
And if on the go leads to can't find where to go, download the GPS application
AT&T Navigator onto the Incite for turn-by-turn instructions to any address.
The phone monitors traffic on the route and alerts the driver when there's
an accident or traffic build-up warranting a detour. Users can also map
out their own preferred route and receive instructions from Navigator over
the Incite's speakerphone if they can't watch the screen, which shows visual
directions.
Users need a plan for Internet use on the phone or they will be charged
for each time it is used.
Storage
With 70MB of storage built into the Incite and room to expand up to 16GB
of memory with a microSD card, the Incite can practically double as a back-up
computer with expanded memory. That's not a bad option, considering the
phone has computer connectivity capability and stores and sends videos,
photos, documents and songs.
The phone also stores up to 12 phone numbers plus email addresses for
99 contacts and one voicemail default and can hold a full music library
with a memory card.
Although a memory card doesn't come with the phone, it's a good idea
to purchase one to take this phone to its full potential. The Incite's internal
memory significantly falls behind the newer BlackBerry Bold's 1GB and iPhone
3G's 8GB or 16GB of storage.
