Bring back PTT! Miss my Nextel.

Why? My country doesn’t even have FM anymore. It shut down in 2017, frequencies repurposed for more useful things.

It’s an almost 100 years old technology..

Fun fact: almost every phone on the market has the hardware. It's just drivers/software that are missing (and, more recently, the antenna's been unavailable with the removal of the audio jack. The radio chip is still in there though)

Even most cheapo mp3 players have this functionality built in

Every phone I had that did this also used the wired headphone cable as an antenna. Personally I do like Bluetooth on the go (for casual listening only), so I'm not actually sure it would be usable unless the phone had a separate antenna.

No thanks. I listened to radio the other day (not in my car) and it was all ads and a shortened version of a song so they can do more ads.

I didn’t realize radio got so bad.

This is still a feature in some major brands though. I have a Moto g power from a relatively recent model year and it comes with a built-in FM Radio app that uses wired headphones as an antenna. It also still has a headphone jack so I don't know how indicative it is of the broader US market.

So glad that mine does.
