    Yes they are:

    DATE - ANSI-compliant date data type
    TIME - ANSI-compliant time data type with variable precision
    DATETIMEOFFSET - timezone aware/preserved datetime
    DATETIME2 - like DATETIME, but with variable precision and large date range

    GEOMETRY - "flat earth" spatial data type
    GEOGRAPHY - "round earth" spatial data type
    HIERARCHYID - represents hierarchies using path enumeration model

    If you are using CTP (June 2007) then those are not yet available and it will be in future CTPs.
