Yes, media files are left as an exercise for the reader.
Adding to the original list: Almost everything: . . .Contact pictures have to be redone. +++I'd imagine any grouping or ungrouping of contacts (which I wish just didn't happen) would have to be redone. . . .Speed dials have to be redone. . . Bluetooth pairing has to be redone. +++Homebrew apps are all lost, along with their data, and all have to be redone. I see no way to back up either apps or data. +++Classic gets restored, but has to be reauthorized and any Classic Apps and data are lost (unless backed up) and have to be reinstalled. +++Alarms have to be recreated. +++Launcher pages and icons have to be reordered. +++Wifi settings have to be redone. A fair amount to do, and I'm probably leaving out some stuff. That said, I wouldn't trade!

The most interesting bit for me is what does NOT get restored...seems like it all should be (apart from those pesky media files). Settings, at just a few KB apiece (if that), should be restored IMO.
