I honestly don't use BT, but it could be used as a hands free speakerphone. It's also good for calling POI's directly from the GPS. (some POI's have phone numbers on the GPS itself - it saves having to look it up)

The FM traffic receiver will mark out where on your route that there are delays and adjusts your ETA to compensate. On my nuvi 3790T, it uses that data to automatically re-route you as well. (on the older units like my 1390T, it gave you the detour option instead and you could hit a button to reroute)
