1)OBEX - bluetooth profile to transfer music/pics/ringtones
2)Video Recorder
3)Video Player - even with memory card inserted does not play
4)sending MMS - will not send multi-media messages, unknown if it can recieve them
Navigation is incredible though, and easy big icons. In box comes with a cradle for your car to use the GPS which automatically puts it in GPS mode when inserted.
Plan requires 30 data pkg on ATT, GPS basic is free but after 60 days the premium is $6 per month.
