Strangely enough, the fm radio application on the n800 could download a list of local stations with frequencies. I can't understand why such a nice feature was dropped on the n900.

The FM radio app on the N800 was made by Nokia, the one on N900 is made by community developers who had to start from scratch, so no features were really dropped, it is just a different app.

Well that story about traveling around really got to me and I decided to dload the FM Radio app again.
It's actually not that hard to use. I mean you press one of the arrows left or right down for a while and it will search the station for you. You can then save the station quite easily I think.
But it would be nice to have a digital version as well where searching for stations was a little more like what we're probably all used to.
Fire up a PM to the developer (Pycage on these forums) or contact him through the blog!

Agree about the local flavor and "social" experience of listening to FM. Also agree about the dial tuning being really cool but a bit hard to use. I was thinking just the other day it would be nice to be able to scan...

Classic example of arbitrary Nokia decision making. Couldn't just fallback to the no brainer of tagging with lat/lon if network isn't accessible, could you Nokia?

The program could also use an extra piece of code switching off Bluetooth once I close the application!

Indeed: where is the love?
Somebody from this community was able to produce this nice app, which I found just amazing to be possible at all, and there is absolutely zero gratitude in the OP.

Found this thread about who developed / helped with this at one point:
http://tabletui.wordpress.com/2009/1...adio-for-n900/
And now the actual developers blog:
http://pycage.blogspot.com/
Scroll down to the October 11, 2009 entry and the developer (Martin Grimme) talks about how it works.... interesting.
