sprint htc touch pro fm radio

[lilmomo]

does the new htc touch pro from sprint have the fm radio??? whats the difference in regarding to applications between the original touch pro and sprint's touch pro????

It came disabled out of the box...looks like jakdillard hacked it back on by borrowing the drivers (and the application) from the GSM versions and cooking it back into a ROM. I haven't done this myself but it sounds successful. I'm waiting for a new cooked ROM to flash with that stuff built-in

Any chance we can get the application without having to install a ROM?

well, it works fine on the diamond, but not on the touch pro. most likely it it disabled in the kernel... if you have got it sucessfully working on the touch pro though .. let us know

I think it may also be a consideration on battery life or perhaps they wanted people to use sprint Music or strem from the web..

Um, airwaves going away making it all digital/HD radio in 2009, does that apply eventually to radio signals as well?

Though it seems counterintuitive the FM radio would probably doesn't use any battery to receive, only the speaker would use the battery.
