Bionic has it, D4, Razr, Nexus do NOT.

I never have or never would use FM. I pay for SiriusXM so I'm using that all of the time!

You leave us cheap folks alone!!! I used to pay for Sirius satellite radio (before they merged) and it was just too damn expensive. It would be awesome if the Nex had an FM tuner in it.
 
I've had the bionic since day one, I can't find an fm radio anywhere. What am I missing?

This would have been the perfect phone if it had a low power AM radio. FM is for music and I have that loaded already. AM is for streaming local info. Streaming it over wireless ip takes too much power.
THIS!!

Man, I would have killed for an AM radio a few years ago. I ended up having to actually buy a seaprate radio, heh heh. Maybe we are just demanding too much from our phones. But I cant imagine that an AM/FM radio would take up much space or cost anything.
 
I also had no bundled app. In the market grab "Spirit FM FREE" Once installed go into the apps settings and set it for motorola. Then have headphones plugged in to serve as an antenna. You can choose output as speaker even with headphones plugged in.

I use the FM Radio on my DX to listen to the MRN broadcasts when we go to NASCAR races. Much easier than bringing headsets.
 
I could care less of the built in fm radio. With tune in radio app i can stream most any local station and stations around the country. To me its like having an 8 track player installed next to my cd/mp3 player in my vehicle.

FM Radio=Free
Streaming Music =$$$/Data.

Hence why i believe they stopped including FM rafios as a standard feature. They don't have any way to make money off of it.

I've searched on my RAZR and can't find the FM Radio ??

EDIT: I think I misunderstood the tittle of the post. You're saying only the Bionic has it.

People stopped doing it because apple doesn't do it and stopped after putting in their first ipod. And yes, Apple did it because it would make them money. But everyone else just used their idea of not including it. Of course there were some that still put it in. My Sansa Fuze MP3 had it.
