Re: What HTC and Verizon say about the FM Radio

I looked at the PNG's, and it's simply the skin for the program, but it's definately for the Broadcom chip.

Just did some digging. It looks like we do have FM radio built in. I searched the FCC site for the Verizon model (grantee code: NM8, Product Code: RHOD500). Select the detail link for any of the results, then the Internal Photos link. This will bring up a PDF file with internal photos of the phone, showing off the chips (granted this looks like one of the older, prototype models). The first photo on page 5 shows a closeup of a Broadcom BCM4325 chip next to the Qualcom MSM7600 processor. A quick Google search turns up this page on Broadcom's site about the chip. It describes the chip as: "with integrated IEEE 802.11a/b/g (MAC/Baseband/Radio), Bluetooth 2.1 + enhanced data rate (EDR), and FM receiver." Here's a PDF about the chip: http://www.broadcom.com/collateral/pb/4325-PB00-R.pdf Now we just need someone to do some more digging/programming to get this sucker to work.

Just so people don't have to dig if they don't want to... here's the 1900MHz RHOD500 FCC PDF file with all the internal pix.
