mobile phone

The insistence of US President Barack Obama to still carry a mobile phone prevailed over security concerns and he is the first United States president to ever carry one while in the oval office. If you want one, just ring up General Dynamics (the contractor that developed the phone) and ask permission for the National Security Agency to get one. About a year ago, I asked the guys at Nokia Singapore why they don't have AM radio tuners to pair with the millions of FM tuner capable phones they develop. Who would want to use AM radio on their phones? The other day, one of those blind masseurs in the malls told me he's been waiting this one great feature a mobile phone should have -- an AM radio. I myself very rarely use the FM tuner on my phone. Actually, there are some phones that both have AM radio (e.g. Sony Ericsson R300i, R306i) but if they could put FM tuners on half of the phones sold each year, why not just add AM tuner to it?
