Which Handset with Integrated FM Radio?

Posted: 07-18-2005, 06:30 PM
Subject line says it all really. I'd appreciate any recommendations for a
Nokia handset with integrated FM radio. Our contract's coming to an end soon
and we're looking to replace our 6230. It seem that not all web sites bother
to mention if the handset has FM radio - and the assistants in a couple of
high street shops I've been to don't seem to have a clue.

If it has a camera - fine, but bluetooth and FM are the main criteria.

TIA

Steve

I had no idea I could get unbiased recommendations from users at the Nokia
site. That is why I asked the question in this ng.

There are charts on the site that let you compare phones for specific
features. I don't think they have any false or misleading information.

Thanks for the reply, but I wasn't suggesting that there was misleading or
false information on the site - which naturally I visited when I first
started looking for a replacement handset. I was simply looking for users'
recommendations - like the one Paul gave me - for which I am very grateful
Paul btw!

The subject line is: ' Which Handset with Integrated FM Radio?' Not: 'Which
Handset Has Integrated FM Radio?' - I know I can get the latter from the
Nokia site, but not the former which I thought implied a degree of personal
recommendation based on experience with the handset. Clearly it doesn't.

Regards

Steve

... and thats the reason I gave you the Nokia web site. So now you know
what handset have a radio and BT etc etc. Now you can ask everybody if
they have a preference betweeny x y and z handsets. Much simplier than
everybody else trying to gauge what you would like.

After all the this, if it has a radio then it will sound very much like
the others with a radio. It will all come down to personal taste in the
handset itself.

Except the link you provided indicates it's a cdma phone. Which means it's
not a replacement for the 6230, unless the op wants to change carriers, as
well.
