FM Radio? Really?

[SEMIJim]

I thought I read somewhere that the Samsung Galaxy S II had an FM radio in it. Did I read correctly?

You may have seen that in the specs somewhere on a website, but it does not have an FM tuner in it. Or if it does, its been disabled.

You can use something like TuneIn Radio app or Slacker app.

Yes, Galaxy S2 has FM radio, at least european (and probably also US version) of phone.

The International may have it, but the US version does not.

That's handy. Not. Rhetorical question: But why would TMO do that?

No, I can't. Where it would've been handy is at my fitness club. They have rows of monitors, turned to different broadcasts (local news, CNN, FNN, FOX News, etc.), and they broadcast the sound on low-power FM frequencies, the frequency for each of which is listed under the monitor.

Besides: Consume network bandwidth to listen to a local FM station, if that's what I wanted to do? What an incredible waste of bandwidth.

The International may have it, but the US version does not.

Okay, thanks for all the info. Appreciate it.

That wasn't a biggie, for me, but it does decrease the likelihood of my going with an S2 or TMO. (Was already approaching "unlikely," anyway, due to coverage concerns.)
