FM Radio
WP8 seems to have removed the FM radio as a feature.
FM Radio is a MUST for people without data plans or small ones, where radio apps are completely useless unless you enjoy being overcharged.
On top of this, most local stations aren't on those apps anyways!!
To top it off, the sound is MUCH crisper and clearer listening to FM radio, rather than over the internet, and is much quicker as well.
It makes no sense for you morons to have removed this feature, and if this is what you're gonna keep doing, I'll be moving to another platform, regardless of how good the OS is otherwise.

Buenas.
Me resulta difícil de entender, como es posible que una marca como NOKIA,,en la que llevo confiado muchos años se deje atrás unas de las funciones que mas uso le damos los usuarios estos terminales.El paso de implantar Windows phone 8 en los terminales Lumia, a mi parecer fue precipitada y arriesgada. Pero como propietario del Nokia lumia 820 considero una buena apuesta, dado mi grado de satisfacción.
Pero considero un error, tener instalada en el sistema la función RADIO y no poder utilizarla. Consultando en diversos foros me informo que son muchos los usuarios en compartir la misma indignación. Ni existe actualización para su activación, ni aplicación (ya sea de pago o gratuita) para poder hacer uso de ella.
La única forma de hacerlo es por aplicaciones vinculadas a la red de datos u online, lo cual hace inútil la utilización de las ondas de radio fm en el móvil. Tengo instaladas esas aplicaciones y solo funcionan con conexión wifi, ni por la calle,ni en el trabajo, en la playa, ni cuando voy a ver el fútbol al estadio, me puedo enterar de nada porque no funcionan.
Les pido por favor que sean consecuentes y entiendan, que pagar casi 400€ por un terminal de gama alta, las funciones básicas son esenciales y debería ser el propio usuario quien decida si es viable su uso o no.
Si alguien supiese como poder solucionarlo me gustaría que me conteste, gracias

Thats not the way to go Aditya, your petition push us back. i am totally against this type of petition becoz users are not forced to buy the phones, and everyone has not been denied the right to make their choice (& research before you buy), there are several types of OS one can chose from. why banning? if you are not happy with the product don't buy it.
-
Get lost adi, no one wants sales banned because of little complaints like this. You're clearly delusional buddy.

Please sign the petition:
Microsoft should stop selling its windows phone. They have launched their product without doing comprehensive R&D about users' requirement.
It is like they are selling their beta version for improvement of their OS. It lacks even basic features as can be seen in their suggestion box forumhttp://windowsphone.uservoice.com/forums/101801-feature-suggestions
We request Microsoft not to make fool of users with their bug full phone OS.
Is it morally correct for a trusted firm who uses its brand name to sell a cheap product. Buying a smart phone may be fun for many people. But people in low income economies it’s a life time investment. If trusted brand like Microsoft sell their cheap products it not only hurts the sentiment of the user but it also frustrate him and sow the seed for not trusting any technology.We request Microsoft not to make fool of users with their bug full phone OS.
Thanks

An important feature. Btw for those who say "stupid not to have it" BlackBerry didn't have it but it was still great at its time
