I'm in for $5 if it is working on my Sprint TP2.

isn't there already an FM radio cab? I mean, I have it installed on my TP2 right now. Its called "FM Radio" from HTC themselves... of course, i get no stations on it. You have to plugin a head set or at least a 1/4 cable to be used as an antenna. The app gives you the option of sending sound to the headset or speaker. But as I said, Ii can't pick up any stations... maybe I'm missing a driver.

I'll put $25 also. Then $25 when working.

- Sprint TV also uses cellular data and doesn't have much choice.
- The FM receiver uses much less power, and may get reception where where you cannot get cellular data.
- Local sports games are not commonly broadcast on Sprint TV/Radio, they are on FM.
- Some gyms broadcast TV audio on FM only.
- During a natural disaster (hurricane, earthquake, etc.), cellular service is likely to be overloaded or non-existent, FM radio is likely to work much better to get needed information.
- The FM receiver is capable of receiving RDS data (short text snippets: traffic data, emergency vehicle alerts, local info) which a GPS app may be able to make use of.

Additionally..

- We know that our phones have the capability to receive FM broadcasts, whether or not it is disabled is irrelevant. As tech geeks, we want the feature to work.

Every user is different and likes or dislikes different features. Plus, enabling the PPC user is what this site (to me) is about. Am I wrong? I would very much appreciate this feature in my tp2. So, +1 for my vote.

As a Verizon customer though, I would love to enable it just in spite the corporate "Nazis" at Verizon.
