Now maybe if someone was friends with an HTC rep and knew them personally, the answer might be different.

I suspect the same as many others in here. Its there, its just not enabled...either by software or hardware. I hope its software, but fear and suspect its hardware. If its hardware...then screw it...its not worth it to me to make some kind of physical modification to the phone just to get FM radio. I can use Kinoma. If its software...then....game on! (once some genius here finds out how to do it)

It is kinda like the old GPS issue on the HTC Mogul.. It was never enabled until Radio release 3.35 or something... So I believe down the road there will be a Radio Update from Sprint that enables the FM radio, if it is there of course... Until then, we will have a XDA/PPC Geeks work around that enables it, with the obvious caveat that the hardware is there and that the only restriction on it is a software lock, and not a hardware lock... Patience is a virtue.. It will work out...
