Both. The transmitter is mentioned in the specs because the software supports it. There is also a receiver build in, but no software, so it isn't mentioned in the specs.

Is it a transmitter or receiver we're talking about?
But out of the box you can transmit but not receive (for now).

Now how much would you pay?
The N900 looks just like a cell phone but it's so much more!
If you call now... (because I can't do this all day.)
You get the:
Cell Phone,
the Mobile Computer,
the Camera,
the Video Recorder,
The Video Player (to play those videos you always wanted to take),
Plus the FM transmitter and Receiver.
A total value of over a $2952.00 dollars

Guys, before you get too excited please note that the FM transmitter automatically turns off when you connect any cable except the charger. Therefore we know that the FM transmitter uses an internal antenna.
On the other hand, the N900 will almost certainly will need the headphones plugged in as an antenna for FM reception, so don't expect to be able to receive and transmit at the same time.
Regards,
Roger
Bluetooth still works while FM transmitter is enabled, right? Bluetooth FM receiver exists? Bluetooth headphones do.

I am working on a FM receiver application today. My n900-fmrx-enabler D-Bus service for actually enabling the disabled hardware is already in extras-devel for two weeks.
The FM radio app might hit extras-devel tonight.
It will only be a matter of time until there's an FM radio app in extras.
With the n900-fmrx-enabler doing the tricky part of enabling the hardware, other people can start writing FM radio stuff, too. The FM radio is a V4L2 device.

cool, an FM transmitter *and* receiver eh? this is awesome
I have a question though, most if not all countries have restrictions on what frequencies the public are allowed to use
Would this be an issue?
Also anybody have any idea on what frequencies the N900 transmitter works on?
