> Why FM radio depends on headset as an antenna?
Bookmark topic
I would kill for an AM tuner instead of a FM tuner. Why would I listen to the garbage Clear Channel spews at us when I can actually enjoy Phil Hendrie, Tom Leykis, and more
Is there a way to break this thing open and flick on the AM switch

AM uses a different type of antenna, you would have to build it in.
FM needs a long antenna.

Can Bluetooth Headsets be used as an antenna? Assume it is only the wired versions that work.

Is it the norm on other non-SE phones for them to require a wire for an antenna in order to use the radio?

@goldenface, I believe so, as on my previous Nokia phones, the radio function was not available unless the headset was plugged in.
Considering that there would be close to zero reception without the headset as an antennae, I think it makes no difference whether the radio can be turned on or not without the headset.
