NO! it is not true!

I'm pretty sure it doesn't. Ameo doesn't and it's the same hardware as X7500. Stereo speakers (dual), yes, and "stereo bluetooth", yes, but not FM radio.

Official specs are here: http://www.seehtc.com/features.html

how good are the stereo speakers?
by the way, where can i get some good standard ring tones from? any good websites where i can actually listen to them (trial thing)?

the WM5 standard ring tones are terrible. the only decent one, which has become old, is the classic ring tone. Nokia for example has some good phone ring tones with good speakers. any suggestions?

You can create your own ringtones. It must be MP3 files so it is very easy :-)

Why bother with FM Radio when you get Resco Radio v1.70. Absolutely brilliant IMHO and far more choices of stations than your average FM radio.

Mind you this only applies to people with an unlimited data plan or those who will use it via Active Sync or wi-fi.

I no longer buy music as I can record the latest music/genre of my choice straight to MP3 and even use them as ringtones.;)

or just download the trial version for a look.

although there is no radio I listen to the bbc radio4 and 7 dab streams via 3g on the way to work each day.

admittedly it does drain the battery faster than i suspect a fm radio would.

I did trial the resco radio app but it has no bbc radio staions.

if you are interested in a specific station then google "radio streaming windows mobile"

one link i use (only accessible from your phone) is

there is a program on the x7500 called audio manager that will allow you to cut songs or use them as ringtones.good program to have

The HTC Advantage PRO retail box sure does not come with any radio station tuning software what so ever, unless you consider Windows Media Player RSTP protocol a "radio station stream". You can stretch the term I guess to include the streams out there.... but wanting the sky to be pink does not make it so.
