does your sansa clip have:
1. a wifi antenna
2. a b/g antenna
3. a 4G antenna
4. a 3G antenna
5. a 1Xrtt antenna
folks remember, radio is Radio Frequency modulated. RF is super vulnerable to transmission noise, and all those antennas inside this tiny hot box (CPU + battery) would kill any FM radio even if you were LOS (line Of Sight) to the radio X-mitter!!!!
FM radio waves are varying in length for each station and you need a conductor (in this case the earphones' wiring) to be able to absorb or "tune in" said freqs per each station, hence why you need to use your ear buds to receive! FM is ANALOG not digital. there is digital conversion technology inside the evo to get analog FM to be heard thru the phone..
on cars, you see the metal rod on the car for the radio, now its a wire thats inside the cars glass... thats how you get FM radio.. you cant get it from a tiny antenna inside a box (evo) that has 5 other DIGITAL antennas in it...
so no its not a failure on HTC's part. they should be APPLAUDED for all the technology they have stuffed inside this box (evo) that many of us are taking for granted. they did not have to keep the FM feature in but they did. the EVO is a cutting edge gadget. lets not try to tear it down every chance we get but embrace the technology and enjoy it. the next handset will improve on many things so ..
remember the star tac?
