Craig 1,435 Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Does it have FM radio chip? Does it have HD FM radio? Does it have IR transmitter? I couldn't find this info elsewhere, sorry if I missed it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nbtodd 0 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 I too would ask of FM. There are modern apps for it, it still has a listener base, and if you're traveling or flying on a low battery (as I am with my D4), it comes in handy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Craig 1,435 Posted March 25, 2019 Author Share Posted March 25, 2019 Still would love an answer to this question. I guess I'll buy it anyway even without, but not having fm radio would be really annoying. It's very useful to be able to listen to music w/o using data. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EskeRahn 5,460 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I too would like FM, but I doubt very much that it will be there when not mentioned in the specs. I would like DAB+ too, but that is even more unlikely.... And indeed Radio over data, can easily eat 0.1GB/hour (DR.DK Danish national broadcast eats that) so for those having a few hours of daily transportation this can add up to a substantial amount for a month, e.g. 20x(2+2)|x0.1GB=8GB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Waxberry 638 Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 FM Radio is included for sure. FM also makes 3.5mm headphone jack more useful. (Headphone as FM antenna.) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Craig 1,435 Posted March 30, 2019 Author Share Posted March 30, 2019 Yes, excellent. Will headphones be required to be attached for radio to work, or just for improved reception? I seem to recall some device I had that requred them as no other form of antenna. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I recollect either the N95 or N97 required you to plug in headphones to use the FM radio maybe one of those but I suspect other nokia phones were like it at the time.

All the phones I have had with FM required the use of the headphones as antenna, and this goes for the tiny portable FM-radios I have had too. As the FM lies around a wavelength of 3m, they need something comparable to 1/4 of that, that is comparable to 75cm. So even the largest phablets would struggle with FM with an internal antenna only. It might work with a strong signal under ideal conditions. So without knowing for sure, I feel quite convinced that the cable is needed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
