what's not functional?

[Jeremiah Flerchinger]

I thought I remembered someone said t-mobile sim cards weren't 
connecting correctly to the network, but at&t cards were working fine.  
GPS is working fine although there was talk about changing the chip & 
drivers in the next release - although I'm not sure about the state of 
that or the reasons behind it.
