Ask your operator how much would it cost, so at least u could listen to radio and watch tv if it is

your concept should be clear about the radio. radio is the hardware that is installed in your phone. this is not the software. well you can go to your SE service centre, they can install the radio hardware on your phone.
Posted by BobaFett
really? se can put a radio on it?
Posted by raverockz
you mean k618i right?
i live in Singapore
do you know what i must do?
how much does it cost?
is it legal?
Posted by BobaFett
i can hardly imagine its possible, but hope ajetp will enlighten us how it works...
Posted by raverockz
yeah i hope so...he isn't replying
Posted by BobaFett
imo he misunderstood sg. first oi thought i missed sg lately at se, but thinking on it a bit deeper, its not possible
Posted by ajeetpv
its true, atleast here in delhi, india. one of my friend had a k300. the shop and the SE service centre both are under the same roof. the shopkeeper told us that we can get the radio as well in just $20 extra. the service centre installed the radio in minutes. i dont know whether it is legel or not.
but its true.
not only in SE but you can get the radio in nokia, moto, samsung phones also. ofcourse the quality is not at par.

but how are they doing it? they have to mess up the motherboard ( so if it is no warranty anymore 9, next to it, k610 has no radio feature, so they have to put it in fw too...
Posted by tranced
i was gonna ask the same. how do they put the radio function? do they have a hacked firmware?
Posted by BobaFett
i cant believe its possible... if it would be a real solution, we should have heared about it already imo
Posted by tranced
they keep it underground so they can get paid for it.

yo guys once i have done that{if possible} to my k610i i'll post again
don't forget to check this post!
Posted by shaliron
Well FM radio, as said before, is a hardware function. So there isn't a software application in the world that will give you it.
Posted by raverockz
yeah we know that already
so i'll soon bring my k610i to the service cebtre and upgrade it.
once i have donw that, i'll post again!!!
^_^
Posted by tranced
i still cant believe what ajeetpv said. ok, let's imagine that they installed the radio on the motherboard, how are they gonna make it work? a java fm radio?
we'll be waiting....
Posted by alexlt
Yes, I don't think that's possible either. It'd be better if you buy
HPM-80, which has FM radio included

hey that handset is for w900...how can it work for k610i?
Posted by BobaFett
It wont work, cos the charger plug is different

@bobafett
yeah
why can't he understand that it is k610i?
ah soon i will go and get it upgraded
i'll get the pics too all the best to me
Posted by BobaFett
Not every of us has experiences with all models

kk cool down man
Posted by jepherberich
actually they have the same plug (fastport) -- and I dont see why the headset part of the (HPM-80) won't work. The radio might actually work too, since it's an independent component from the phone and shouldnt require a firmware hack
now we just need someone to test the HPM-80 with a K610/K618/V630/Z610 and post the results here
Posted by raverockz
anyone knows how much it costs in singapore?
Posted by BobaFett
Mea culpa,if w9 has the same port,then it works

the w900i remote doesn't work in k750i, w800i, w710i and w850i, it just says 'NOT SUPPORTED' on the screen. I doubt if it will work in the k610.
I suggest a headset like the Nokia HS-12W, it should be compatible with the k610 and has built in RDS FM Radio.

Thats weird. Hpr20 worked with many models, it has actually nothing to do with hw, just the batt power is used.

I'm sorry i edited my last post, yeah i think, for the k610, you might be able to find an a2dp heaset with fm radio.
The W900i remote is different, i think, because the buttons on the remote have access to the walkman player on the phone, maybe this function was only included in the W900i firmware.

se should have launched a "general" portable radio as hpr20 once, it was really a great idea

To listen to radio on the internet isnt tha bad with k610, of course the quality depends on the operator too

Next to the branding both fones have the same hw, so just some small changes in the fw, no else differences

The 'Nokia HS-12W' is a bluetooth headset which supports a2dp, this means it will work with any phone which has a2dp bluetooth made by any manufacturer. You don't have to get the nokia one I was only giving an example I'm sure there are others.
Posted by jepherberich
makes sense, i stand corrected. SE never meant the HPM-90 to be available as an accessory but an exclusive W900 headset. Not good for the consumers, as I know countless W900 owners who either blew their headsets or lost it and couldnt find it anywhere except online
