Surely you can admit that in those cases having FM in your phone would be better than nothing?

I have used Sony Z2 and T2
FM radio with RDS are very useful.
Especially, we can listen Local news such as weather information and breaking news and even world news
We can also get local and traditional music and traffic news which doesn't have in internet streaming
And, Internet coverage is not always OK in everywhere
So, FM radio is necessary for future smartphones
Thanks for your opinion,

"You use the S-pen a lot but wouldn't use the FM radio.
There are people who would never use the S-pen but would use an FM radio.
I don't use the S-pen much and only used the Note 2 FM radio when the cricket was on. My point is.... the Note is meant to be the ultimate communications and entertainment device. An FM radio should have been included."
I read it line by line, word for word.
You just said it although indirectly, but the sense is the same.
Getting rid of built in radio free some RAM for other more useful stuffs. And there are better alternatives for that radio.

I said that mobile data and digital stream is great but not always the best (lack of mobile coverage, data usage cost etc).
No one person uses every feature on a smart phone. For me FM radio isn't a must have but it is for some people. Why not include it Samsung?

The same with built-in radio is also useless when indside the office because the reception is horrible.
Built-in radio cannot update me with news in my country when I am in a foreign land. You call that ultimate communication? Most of the time built-in radio is useless.
How many percent of people around the world listen to cricket? Not everyone have the same sport interest.

Tcool, 01 Jun 2014TuneIn radio is available.
Right now I am working overseas... moreTune in radio isn't allowed to stream the cricket, plus it uses 4G data when away from wifi plus it is useless when you are away from mobile coverage (not everyone lives in cities).
I use TuneIn a lot more than I would use FM but there are times when FM is better.
Samsung should include every feature possible if they want to stay number 1.

T... moreTuneIn radio is available.
Right now I am working overseas where the radio stations broadcasts are in local language which I can't understand. So built-in FM radio will be useless.
I am listening to my country's FM radio stations via TuneIn radio on my Note 3 inside my office with good reception and that is ultimate communications and entertainment. Built-in radio cannot do that.
