Guest Cindy888 Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 Can anyone tell me if there is a FM Radio on the C550? If yes, where can I find it? Or have they left out this feature AGAIN?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest awarner [MVP] Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 FM radio is not something that a lot of mobiles have, and as yet no Windows powered Smartphone has an FM radio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest george7 Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 I think that in the c600, they should include a digital radio! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest the_ape Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 Everyone seems to get this confused the c500/c550/SPV in general DOES HAVE A RADIO, what do you think it uses to comunicate to the cells...... It's just called the right thing in the windows mobile market and not just called a phone function. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FM is what your music radio detects, wheras microwaves are used to network your phone with the radio masts! Although technically your phone (c550, c500 etc.) does have a radio inside it, it is not an FM radio, so cannot recieve radio stations (radio one, radio two etc.) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hotphil Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 A digital radio would be nice but as i understood it, the only dab chip currently available is quite power hungry - battery life would drop like a stone. i'm quite happy on my commute with my phone and ipod.

Guest george7 Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 If the c600 had 3G then playing live streaming audio from the internet would become a reality, and most of the digital stations are available online aswell. I just hope that 3G isn't as power hungry as GPRS is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a radio that works on 900/1800mhz (and 850/1900 for other areas). Plus I dont want a cheesy nasty FM radio on my phone.... I'll goto Asda and buy one for 3quid if it's really that necesary..... I like my battery life :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
