You have to add the skills to it via the app. It doesn't come preloaded with everyones crap they'll need. It takes 2 seconds to enable a skill.

For the OP, the bluetooth speak alone almost makes it worth it. I use it for music and random questions. The shopping list is legit as well. I use it most for home automation though. i.e. turning on/off lights, locks, thermostat, and controlling my home entertainment system.
