I didn't even realize Qualcomm removed the built in FM radio from their chips. Huh.

Phones should have FM radio not as an emergency feature, but as a method of banging out the tunes. I wanna jam out at a campsite with no downloaded music and no cell service.

    I don’t own an FM radio small enough to shove up my ass, which a phone with FM would solve. I’m sure phone designers will realize their untapped market soon enough.

    There are FM radios smaller and more phallic than there are cell phones. You might not own them, but that's not a problem specific to the radio; clearly your existing cell phone doesn't do FM or you wouldn't be running into this problem in the first place.
