I was checking the SE mobile phones and i realized that there are no SE mobile phones that have radio built in.....
I know that HPR-20 is a good solution but how come no
SE mobile phones have radio built in? |

The components required for a radio are quite big compared to the other components required for the rest of a phone such as the T68 or P800, SE pack their phones with so much functionality, that there's no space left on the boards for a radio, unlike Nokia, who have bags of empty room in their phones because they don't bother putting any extra functionality in 'em.
If it really bothers you though, you could record a days worth of radio on your computer, transfer it to a 128MSD and listen to it the next day, just as if it were the real radio, only you get to fastforward the news and crappy DJs like Steve Penk!
Or if it's BBC Radio 1, just record 1 hour between 10 and 11, then listen to that on loop, because it doesn't change much during the day...
Bonus!

It is always a nice extra, but I find that I stop using it after a few days, and just listen to the songs I like instead, so I prefer them to ram a few extra MB of storage or something in instead, having it on a handsfree kit is a good idea, since you'll have to plug one in anyway, and it'll get less interference from the screen etc too.

I can think of two simple reasons why  didnt put a radio inside:
1) So that you will buy the extra accessory
2) They would be copying nokia

I have just switched from using a Nokia phone to the T610. Radio is by far the feature of the phone I use the most (every day when I walk to and from work). So I got the radio headset for the t610, and that thing sux. Its as big as an MP3 player and it cant do anything more then play radio? Also, its heavy and take up alot of space in your pocket once its not used. The wires keep getting tangled up.... Man, I have nothing good to say about the radio part SE delivers.... |
