Seems like such a minor detail, to me, the whole FM tuner, but still: I've never actually seen one of these FM transmitter things they sell for cars that actually WORKS. I've owned two, and both of them were always getting interference with stations, I had to change the station, still would get static or occasional radio channel chatter...so I just wonder: has somebody actually tested the N900's FM transmitter and seen that it can be used in a city? Sure, if you're driving through North Dakota (or anywhere in Finland except the south...), I'm sure it works fine. But what about in places where there's a new station every 0.20 Mhz? Just curious. It's of little use if you have to adjust the station every 10 minutes when driving.

Anyway, a aux-in input will be one of the biggest requirements for my next car. Bluetooth or FM, don't care, neither one beats a good old fashioned cable.
