I agree - this is an important thread. Especially considering I am in the UK - using my device in the UK and having Nokia say I can use the FM Transmitter in the UK - but having it disabled, with little input from Nokia so far.

As others have said, when travelling, the user should have the opportunity to decide if they use it or not - and as per the Nokia site, certain countries need to check whether they are allowed to use the transmitter before they do - I therefore assume, the decision in those countries is left with the user.

Here is the link for Nokia where it shows waht countries can use the FM Transmitter etc. http://europe.nokia.com/support/fm-transmission
