The phone also has an updated Genius Button, which allows for hands-free calling, texting and writing.

Additionally, despite lacking an HDMI-out port, the phone has DNLA for media sharing.

Furthermore, the device has T-Mobile TV, which has streaming content from ABC, Fox, PBS, Disney, and Univision. T-Mobile's "Media Room" has Slacker and and FM radio built-in.
