Guest v_patel1 Posted July 15, 2003 Report Posted July 15, 2003 FM radio can it be done on the spv? i've heard that theres a program for 7650 that enables FM radio it would be good if we had one
Guest James Posted July 15, 2003 Report Posted July 15, 2003 none yet mate.. also not sure it can be done.
Guest xanadu Posted July 15, 2003 Report Posted July 15, 2003 FM radio can it be done on the spv? I don't see any point in having an FM radio built in to the SPV. You can buy a good FM radio if you want one.
Guest JOB Posted July 15, 2003 Report Posted July 15, 2003 Tis funny when anyone says 'can we have this' someone always replies ' go buy a proper one' Why have a camera?, buy a proper one!! Mp3? ,buy a proper one! tri-band?, get a 1900mhz US phone! E-mail? use your computer! SMS? send a letter! Ring my mates?, use a payphone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Guest Hax Posted July 15, 2003 Report Posted July 15, 2003 I don't see any point in having an FM radio built in to the SPV. You can buy a good FM radio if you want one. Yeah - but it's more convenient to carry around just the one bit of electronics. My missus loves the radio in her 8310 - especially when I'm late picking her up after work :roll: Also, why not? Hax

Guest vijay555 Posted July 15, 2003 Report Posted July 15, 2003 :) I'd love to have fm. was gutted after switching "Radio off" first time i touched spv, only to discover it wasn't FM, but radio stack ;) v_patel1 - what kinda software are you talking about for the 7650. Is this an emulated radio? V btw xanadu: i must stop playing with myself and get a gf one day...
Guest mores Posted July 15, 2003 Report Posted July 15, 2003 i've heard that theres a program for 7650 that enables FM radio nope. that's physically not possible. what has is being develloped is a way to stream web-radio to the 7650. then there is an SD card available that brings radio waves to palms, so not really interesting for SPV users :) remember how radar scanners were supposed to be implemented in some nokias ? lol
Guest Scarfman007 Posted July 15, 2003 Report Posted July 15, 2003 So we could have a web-streamed service like they're developing for 7650?? Infact I know we already do ... but has anyone actually tried (successfully) listening to a web radio broadcast using WMP? I know for one that my GPRS reception is so bad I spend 2/3 of the time buffering (this is with a 28kbps stream!)! Hardly usable ... H How does the 7650 differ? Has anyone had any more luck than me? Scarfman
Guest James Posted July 16, 2003 Report Posted July 16, 2003 i have tried them........ and they are a waste of time with GPRS in the current state.
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted July 16, 2003 Report Posted July 16, 2003 I was at the beach a few weeks ago and sat there listening to streamed capital radio no problem, so it IS possible, if you have a good connection and the right quality feed! P
Guest v_patel1 Posted July 16, 2003 Report Posted July 16, 2003 ok i'll try find the name of the 7650 radio program from a mate
Guest solo Posted July 16, 2003 Report Posted July 16, 2003 I am fairly certain GPRS isn't particularly consistant here in the UK. It varies from location to location and at different times of the day. I recently went to Prague and found that the GPRS connection was much faster than what I have ever experienced in the UK. Solo
Guest James Posted July 16, 2003 Report Posted July 16, 2003 It was still slow(ish) in spain when i was there last week......
Guest Hax Posted July 16, 2003 Report Posted July 16, 2003 More to the point though James - what version of software were you running Paul? Since the UK update, I've found that streamed media via GPRS is a big pile of pants :wink: Just hoping it's been fixed in version 1.50 (or whatever it is we eventually get!) Hax
Guest Fullfast Posted July 16, 2003 Report Posted July 16, 2003 It is a chame, I am looking at coming back to the SPV as I have the P800 as well as my on-call phone 6310i......only thing is I have a handsfree for the P800 which incorporates a FM radio......it shines electric blue as well
Guest v_patel1 Posted July 19, 2003 Report Posted July 19, 2003 my mate says its a streaming radio program i dunno wht tht means
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted July 19, 2003 Report Posted July 19, 2003 Streaming radio = listening to radio over the internet, ie Radio 1 etc
Guest Myke Posted July 20, 2003 Report Posted July 20, 2003 streaming radio = $1000 monthly phone bill
Guest jenneth Posted July 20, 2003 Report Posted July 20, 2003 An alternative to streaming radio is Replay Radio, which is like the TiVo for streaming radio stations. You could record shows using this program on your PC in MP3 format and then transfer them to your phone. No, not as elegant as streaming audio directly, but will save you a lot of money if you're not on an all-you-can-eat GPRS plan. I'll be reviewing this on my website in a few days time.
Guest Lifestream Posted July 20, 2003 Report Posted July 20, 2003 I have done a FM-Radio that works over gprs at 32kbps with permissions from NRJ.. works fine in my ipaq. But very expensive... Better over free Wlan here in Sweden :)
Guest JoelRae Posted July 20, 2003 Report Posted July 20, 2003 which is like the TiVo the what? Please excuse my ignorance :oops: Looking forward to the review ... great site by the way!!
