I could be reading his question wrong, but I believe his use of 'radio' here is one of meaning FM/AM radio. Some applications give the impression that all you need to do is plug in a set of headphones to the TP2 and you can begin picking up stations in your area, such as you can, I think, with the EVO and other smartphones.

If this is, in fact, the thrust of his question, I think the answer is there's some hardware inside the device which could, theoretically, be used in this regard, but it is not functional on either 'side' of the OSes, Android or even in any of the various WM roms out there.

*edit: Or there is...and I'll stop typing because I have no idea if it would affect capabilities in Android
