dont see it as a big problem though, barely any phones have this feature.
Still its a shame. Transmitting to a nearby FM Radio is always a good little party tool to have.

W960 looks quite plain IMO doesn't match the similarly priced N95 for features, doesn't contain the cool looking light effects, FM transmitter or HSDPA, loses several useful BT profiles as do all SE UIQ phones and has a number of disappointed owners from what I've read. I don't think Wifi and A/F is important enough to me to overcome the fact that this W980 is a great looking, heavily featured phone and considering that high end SE clams are VERY RARE could make this a future classic, possibly the first since the W900.
Yeah, a big call I know but as long as SE don't repeat the K850i mistakes, this phone should take off...

As far as I'm concerned, pre-review comments about a prototype phone not supplied or endorsed by SE does not count as confirmation.

I agree. Clamshells are rare within SE. I remember my first, the Z600i. I had to have that phone. And the V800/Z800... Man did I want one, but I couldn't afford it. Since those two phones, no clamshell by SE has come close in terms of being high-end and fully featured. This W980 reminds me so much of the Z800. Its high-end and excellent looking. Future Classic? I'm sure of it.
And to those who argue its not high-end, who says a camera decides if a phone is high-end? Its a phone, not a camera, and its a phone aimed at the music market, not imaging.

But wasnt this one of the most talked about features of this phone? This was the only one true 'new' feature SE introduced.

And this is a masculine phone like the V800/Z800, unlike the Z300 and Z610, and more leading edge than the conservative Z710/W710 twins which had EDGE but no 3G. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the closest Nokia have to this is the eccentric 7390 which may have been discontinued.

Not long till this is released now.Upgrade is due next week so i'll certainly be saving it until the W980 is released.Had enough of the cybershot range.None have me wanting to keep them since the K800 came out.No FM transmitter doesn't bother me either as i have a No Holes bracket from www.dashmount.co.uk fitted to my car and also the Sony Ericsson universal car holder (HCE- something) fitted to it as well as the Sony Ericsson music cable (3mm jack on one end) to plug into my cars headunit.Add A2DP and its all compatible with all my equipment :D

Don't mess that up: It has the transmitter. It misses the integrated FM radio antenna.
