      i upgraded and got 1 of the new window 8 phone and i completely shocked that FM radio isn't a must i listen to music all the time to and from work everyday and i always listen to the radio on the way to work now i'll just have to listen to all the boring old music i have on my phone that's a shame its about the only time of day i get to listen to whats happening in the world now i can't do that what a disappointment for me hurry up Microsoft and bring out a radio app sooner rather then later coz at this rate i will have to go back to my old phone just coz it has radio on it would b a shame coz i really love the new windows 8 phone

          MS did a bad job! FM radio is a must have feature. You don't want to bring a mobile phone and a small FM radio while jogging, right ? I won't consider this unless MS bring FM radio back.

                  Windows Phone 8 is already the fastest OS and most stable OS out there. Add some more features and it will be crazy good OS.

Not everyone has the money to spend on crazy data plans, or wants to fill their phone with music. I used Radio on my HTC HD7, but have been missing it with my Lumia 920. Its not bad to have options.

Had proper fil... moreMaybe we can compare Symbian with Assembler, the day when memory and cpu were rare and expensive. The programmer must carefully calculate every byte of memory they use. They don't have time and resources to develop fancy display. But now you can see that memory and cpu are much faster, better and cheaper, so the programmer can focus to the application they develop and make a fancy display. Well, next generation always better then their ancestors.

                              What? MS doesn't have enough time to develop application for Radio?. I just don't understand how a giant corporation like MS be short of resources to develop a simple application like that. There must be something serious with this company.

                                do not be a hater of android because android is a successor of java platform and because its an open source you can make your own tweak and tricks to make even your froyo os android phone better

                                    I use xperia. I've seen nokia's windows phone, its actually good. I dont see why people are bashing the phone. maybe they just wanna troll or they have not seen it yet. Andoid is the best, but there is also good in windows phone. It depends on the user.
