That would b impossible as C500 does not have the hardware for the job ,it will need a radio reciever (FM) and it has none. The only way to have radio on C500 is a handsfree with radio in it ,however i do not know if such thing exists.

Nope this isn't possible. What you've probably heard of or seen is the ability to turn the radio feature on or off which refers to the GSM link that talks to the network rather than a radio in the FM-sense.

Most people refer to this as flight mode (as does the device); quite why I don't know because cabin crew still won't believe us when we say it's safe to use on aircraft!

I think that I came across such a radio, but unfortunatelly it was only available as a whole (500+ pieces minimum) from China...... Eitherway buying a mini fm radio should be cheaper I presume....

YOUR C500 CANNOT BE USED AS A RADIO

Not strictly true. Ever heard of streaming radio over GPRS.....................

Play nice or not at all...................

Initially there was some confusion as Orange (especially stores) advertised teh C500 as having a radio in-built (which is does not)
