Since I have a iy780 that does not have an inbuilt fm-radio I+d like to find a bluetooth headset with a fmradio.
The best one Ive seen seems to be Itech clip d-r.
Unfortunately they dont sell it in Europe. I havent been able to find one anyway.
I know Nokia has one but its almost triple the price of Itechs.
Why are there so few headsets with radio?
I dont understand it, must be a great need of such a headset.
Any recommendations for swedish user like me will be greatly appreciated.
Its soooo terrible...
The FM radio only works with the offical headset. Wont work on third partys
Probebly a good thing i dont listen to the radio much
But this is really a fantastic phone i utter love it

ofcourse, the antenna of the radio is within the headset itself, its not in the phone, Lol, .... most phones are like this
Use internet radio Probably that's better.
Me neither, I don't listen to radio ...
For me, the most important thing is web browsing experience ...
- How good is the screen for web browsing
- How fast is the web browser
- How convenient is typing text (to comment in a web forum)
- How good is the bookmarking
- and so on
So far, from what I have seen (I dont have the device yet), it will satisfy my needs above.
Having simple Flash Lite 4.0 is a bonus while waiting the true Flash 10.1 !!!

That's very annoying if true. The user guide says "You need to connect a headset first to the audio jack of your phone to use FM Radio. FM Radio uses
the stereo headset as the FM radio antenna"
No mention that it has to be the supplied headset. It says "a" headset. And it only says the headset is the antenna. Most phones with built in FM radio will accept any headset as the antenna.
EDIT: It is also contradicted by this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5998006&postcount=6
I have never tried a phone that need Offical headsett, the last i tried was htc hd2, no problem
Not unexpected , needing headphones plugged in, but for me that is irritating as i was hoping to be able to use it over a stereo bluetooth headset (yes i know there are headsets with radios built in but doubling up functionality annoys me , grump over)
Well considering I sat this morning listening to the radio with two different pairs of headphones, I disagree! One was a pair of in ear sennheisers and the other was a headset that came with my webcam.

Strange... i tryed my philips inear headphones from my Ipod the radio would run but i just get static all the way through insainly bad reception...
The HTC headphones provided worked fine... That was the basis of my gripe...
But its not really that much of a problem as i dont listen to FM radio anyway

Mine works fine with a non HTC headset.
It's 2010 FFS FM is dead. Internet?
Does the speaker location suffer like the N1?
I mean if you put your Desire on a table the sound doesn't get mufled?
Rather than purchasing another expensive add-on, I've read that the Desire has the capability of transmitting FM.....e.g. if I wanted to listen to an online radio station or my music library from the Desire on the car stereo.
I've searched the forums/app market with no luck, does any one know of an app or solution to having this work?
Thanks!
ive never heard that the desire can transit fm ??? i use a bluetooth car head unit works great
So absolutely nothing?

the desire does have a fm transmitter, i remember reading it in the specs when i was deciding what phone to buy to replace my hero
Then where is it, I never read anything as such.. this is one thing I miss from my n 900 .. would be a massive fail if I missed it out
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
i found a thread talking about the n1 fm transmitter, as we all know the n1 and desire have almost identical hardware
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/android/thread?tid=7d31d3160c3bbacc&hl=en
i've also read that there is an fm transmitter built into the hardware.
there's no way to make it work though eh?
I've tried looking on google and read the manual but I can't find any info how to turn the FM transmitter feature on. The specs say it has one and I want to be able to play music to my car stereo via it. Looked in all share but still no luck. Anyone else tried this and been successful?
Cheers
As I know Galaxy W don't have Fm Transmitter.
That's a shame as some of the reviews I read said it had which was why I bought this phone. I compared it to the galaxy s plus on geekaphone and one of the reasons to buy it was the transmitter. Just looked back at them and they have taken it off the website
Guess it doesn't have a tv-out option either?
Yap no TV out
Anyone know of a workaround for NextRadio's requirement that headphones be plugged in before I'm allowed to play through my phone's speakers?
I think the head phones are used as an antenna. If it works like fm radio on an a htc phone.

This is correct. It's a limitation of physics: you need an antenna of a certain length to receive the radio signals.
