I typically stream my music through internet radio stations,
but there are certainly times when you either don’t have broadband to
make that possible or actually just want to listen to a local station.
With a quick trip to grab the fmradio.deb, you can then access the FM
Radio within your N800.

  1. First grab and install the file.
  2. Next, open up your terminal and enter ‘fmradio’ and return
  3. You should be looking at your N800’s new FM Rad
  4. A special bonus is that once, run, you can add the FM Radio as a home screen applet for easy access.

Who still listens to radio? Nice find Jon but streaming internet radio is better than anything your local broadcast stations produce.

    which is why you should pair your n800 with your 3g phones ;)

    Too bad none of the Nokia N-Series work in 3G mode on US frequencies… :(
