I certainly do remember when I listened to FM Radio last time.

WP8 is getting better day by day. The portico update that just has started seeding brought some minor bug fixes and little enhancements in usability, eliminated the random restart bug. Apollo+ will be, as it seems a 'major' update. I guess FM radio, BT4.0, notification center are on their way.
In addition to this the developers and nokia are adding useful apps everyday. VLC is coming to wp, whatsapp is also coming. WP8 has brought memory extension support, multicore, native code, directx. Social network integration is top notch. OS works flawlessly.
I see WP8 as a successful OS in very near future.
PS: WP haters don't start badmouthing. Go throw tomatoes on MS headquarters in Redmond if you hate that much. And USE YOUR HEADS.

I know.. I really love to see news about WP8.. I am an android fan, won't lie about it, but I really do see a future, a bright one for WP8.. I think in near future, it will be about Android and WP8.. While I love android for what I can do with it, I also like the simplicity of the UI and how smooth it is..
Oh.. can't wait for my 8X to come!
(yes, i know the 920 is better, but got it for free, so can't complain much)

FM Radio is still important in the countries where unlimited data plans are not cheap.
Also If any OS/device has to be really smart then it must have proper file manger. Sometime or the other managing ur data in ur own way is needed

yeah sadly you get away with your crap, you thumb people down for no reason, slate a product you dont want yet always come on the articles to be a troll and just generally ruin the site with your b.s
ohh and you may want to learn to read its not ''Chaoticrazar'' its ''Chaoticrazor''. reflects on your reading skills
mainly though the fact that you add nothing to these articles just pollute them with crap is what's bad and you should be banned, trolls aren't needed on here.
your definitely some kid with your level of maturity, cant be over 15

''truth hearts'' think you mean truth hurts and your hate filled comments aren't based on truth its based on and say it with me kid ''hate''
fact is you add nothing to wp8 articles and should be banned from them, you complain when people do what you do to the android articles yet you think its fine for you to do it. your no smarter or better then anyone else on here and not some special case trolling is trolling and thats all you are
i expect a reply that looks like it was written by a 11 yr old kid that diverts from my comment as you cant answer me

FM radio? i want FM TRANSMITTER . so i can play my music through my car radio. or home radio atleast
18. PotDragon posted on 11 Dec 2012, 17:12 1 0
sounds like a plan...play FM RADIO through your car RADIO. Then again, you could always just get a car with Bluetooth connectivity. If you own a home "radio" WITHOUT Bluetooth steaming ALREADY, then you have not had any clue for YEARS NOW.
Not using the 8x I purchased; I set it up and shipped it to my 73 year old Mother. I stripped all the useless icons off the home screen and resized all info to fit on one panel. Clear, uncluttered, simple to use. She had no reboots at all & has already received the update.
My 12 hours with Win 8 was enough to sell me. My next handset is certain to be Win 8. All the children who have opinions about an OS they never tried can go back to trying to "transmit" FM radio to their radio.

scratch that home radio thing.
i like windows. and i like my n8 where my music is played through the car radio. and no. i dont wanna f**king buy an external way to connect to the car. my friend uses iphone and he uses fm transmitter adaptor for his iphone.. too much hassle, costly, and inconvenient.. plus what a wonderful device not having "all-in-one features for the price"

the hardware is there but they want everybody in the "cloud".... microsoft isnt the only culprit... lots of companies still dont want to give you internal memory... i can count on my hand the list of devices that have 32gb internal... even less have 64gb...
hopefully with samsung developing a 128gb flash memory there is some hope... but i doubt they will put it in phones... it'll most likely be in a tablet...
is it too much to ask for a complete phone?
great battery, great internal, great connectivity, great screen, great camera, great software and great support = perfect phone

fm radio is very important the solution for free entertainment as they are not only airing music but also talks, jokes... it seems important.. why paid if there is free option..

I would love FM on my phone. Even an IR blaster.

I listen to FM radio on my Windows Phone 7 device every day. So you're saying this was dropped in the move to WP8? I live/work in downtown Chicago, and data connections are just not reliable across my walking commute. So good ol' FM is the best solution to get my daily NPR fix.

Great Topic! I currently have the nokia 920, and would LOVE an FM radio. I remember the HTC OneX was suppose to have an FM radio (had it in an older version) but dropped the feature when it came out. I had an old Sony flip phone that had an FM radio...really miss it. I often wonder what the conspiracy is for smartphones not having a radio.
off-topic, I am REALLY disappointed in not having Pandora nor Sirius available on the windows platform.

you have nokia music though. pandora is on windows phone i think

no pandora, not yet. nokia music is pretty good, but not pandora. and don't get me started with "AT&T radio"..it's $5 a month and sucks.
