i'm not saying you can't have one without t'other, just that if you have mp3 you don't need radio and vice versa, and mp3 is probably viewed as a superior option since you can choose what you play. that said, i would prefer a phone with both options - remembering that s700 is one of the highest-end non-smartphones available.

Smartphones do not have radio coz it is considered as a not so important option unlike touchscreen, Bluetooth and PDA capabilities. To me it is a pity, coz when you travel or idle in trains or busses or planes, a radio can be a nice companion. I miss that in my P900.
Hopefully SE looks at our comments and put one in the P1K.
