I agree with u but it has nothing to do with people.It has to do with marketing.The fact is ,is that am radio requires a different part made of iron which in its weight requires companies to pay more to put out the product.I think it shold be required for all mp3 players phones etc etc.There are many different features on am radio that fm radio does not have.Coast to Coast AM is the biggest late night talk show program and yet they dont try to make money off that.Put out a product with both and u have a massive market devolping the same thing.With devices so useless as the Iphone I cant imagine why they wouldnt included it…

I would love to have an AM tuner on my phone! I listen to talk radio here in the US all day long, and think FM is pointless. I like music to sound GOOD, not staticky with poor reception with commercials. With AM I could listen privately and not have to turn down the speakers when colleagues walk in. Would love to know of any phones with this feature! –Joey

I seldom use my FM tuner over the MP3 player. But an AM would surely come handy especially during the months of typhoon when electricity is out.

AM=rich in information & entertainment
FM=rich in only one aspect of entertainment.Music that is.

well i dont listen to am or fm actually coz i prefer listening to pure music and the mp3s on my walkman phone are enough. but actually, i do believe a lot of pinoys would want to have both am and fm on their phone especially our parents and grandparents and those who do listen to news when they cant be infornt of the tv.

I hate FM stations…bunch of self absorbed DJs who thinks their voice could change the world. I don’t even watch regular and Cable TV (that are also biased). AM radio is the only way to go. Although most of their English sucks (at least in may area) they are at least sincere in telling what it really is..I’m already suspending my breakfasts to grab the R300i. Hala Bira Ilonggo!

I would prefer an AM tuner on my mobile phone. In this country especially in ILOILO, there are many listeners and even followers of programs that are aired in this frequency. The far- flung residents would opt to have their mobile phone equipped with such tuner. This is a better tool of information in times of calamity and disaster.
