Re: What HTC and Verizon say about the FM Radio

The Motorola chip has the FM radio (I have FM radio in my Motorola bluetooth headset) but the limited MS Bluetooth profile stack

The Broadcom chip has the full Bluetooth profile stack but no FM radio, however you can do just about any Bluetooth profile
Euro TP2's also have the Widcomm stack according to discussions on XDA-devs. Personally I find the Widcomm stack more limited than the MS stack as it lacks profiles and doesn't seem to want to work right with a variety of software such as MSVC, VVM, or even the phone software (good luck getting the headset buttons to work while in a call).
