Is possible hear radio without cordless for example with a Bluethooth headset?

Like other HTC phones with an FM radio, reception is dependent on having the wired headset plugged in as it is the antenna for the radio. Without it plugged in, you won't get any reception.
I suppose, however I have never tried it, that you could stream the radio over A2DP to a bluetooth headset as long as you have the wired headset plugged in as well to act as the antenna. Maybe you could wrap up the headset and keep it in your pocket plugged into the phone - seems like a pretty bulky solution though.
Hope that helped - good luck! :D

Also, if psargent's suggestion works, be careful that the headset you plug in must be one with a microphone built in (e.g. the headset that comes with the Touch Cruise) because it is the cable to the mic that is used as the FM aerial so a simple adaptor that just connects the audio outputs to a 3.5mm jack (e.g. the Boxwave adaptor) will not provide an input to the FM aerial.
Edit: I just saw that our posts crossed and that psargent's suggestion doesn't work.

This is the only part of the phone that I don't like. Why can't you use a BT to listen to the radio. Sure, I can see that it needs the wire for antenna purposes, but why can't you have that plugged in and listen via BT?
I install BTAudio, and hoped that that would solve it, but it didn't...
