FM Radio on Sprint Touch Pro 2 
Modified By MS.Survivor  on 9/21/2009 10:43:08 AM)

I found the following out about FM Radio and the Touch Pro 2.  The radio is part of Broadcom's WIDCOMM Bluetooth BCM4325 chipset.  So, either they don't have the trace for an antenna connected to the 3.5 headset jack or suitable drivers aren't made.  I believe it to be the later.  The program Broadcom's FM Radio program BTFM.exe already exists on the phone.  I sent Sprint this online email.  So now I wait.  Maybe it will come out with Windows Mobile 6.5 upgrade.  Don't flame me:  I know it's not a Windows thing but, the driver could come with the package.

Here's a copy of your email for your records:

Original Question: Touch Pro 2 FM Radio
Question: The Touch Pro 2 is a great phone, yet the FM Radio isn't functional. This phone has a BroadComm WIDCOMM Bluetooth BCM4325 chipset which has the FM Radio and the program is already on the phone BTFM.EXE. Please provide the drivers to make this phone complete with FM Radio. To say that it is only available on GSM phones is incorrect because both use the same chipset. Thank you for listening. Please advise.

I ended up talking to a tech support guy that knew less about this feature.  He took the information I gave him, but you know how thats goes....

Oh FYI...the chipset was recently certified for BT 3.0 standard....but that doesn't mean it will be so on our existing phones....or does it.....another driver issue I think.
