Actually, I misspoke. I was thinking of digital radio, which many stations are now supporting and is gaining some popularity (as far as broadcast radio goes) in the US.

FM radio is a dying breed in the US, not just because of MP3, but because FM stations have been hijacked by corporate radio (i.e. Clear Channel) which limits stations to tightly playlist controlled "formats" - Emetic Easy Listening, Soporific Soft Rock, Headache Metal, Un-hip Hip-Hop, The-Same-30-Songs-You-Heared-3000-Times Classic Rock...

yes i thought that...

If you want to listen to FM radio, you need an external antenna I think

You know, its funny, but i had a $99 LG prime, prepaid phone from att. It has an fm radio and doesn't need the head phones as an antenna. So it is possible. I don't know why all phones don't have it..... that was the only good feature about the phone, and its reception was awesome.

Because it's ineffective. Having an antenna equals more signal strength in radio. If you live in middle of a city, then I would not think that we need an antenna.

Looks like the 20 last years of my life the technology did great things but unfortunately the IQ of ppl drop dramatically.
The only thing that mobile phone companys should do is to create cellphones with build in antenas of the best quality materials and make those antenas able to extend. ffs. U can do it easy and ppl will buy easier.
