Since the radio receiver uses the headphones as antenna, is it possible to force the N900 to play the music from the stereo speakers? or are we forced by hardware to listen to the music from the headphones?

(I'm allready happy that it's there, just, if it's possible, better )

MediaBox will support playing FM radio on the N900 as well (the N900 device specs don't list the FM radio, but there is one, on the Bluetooth chip).

So much for the missing FM radio

I wonder if the MMS make it before the N900 starts to ship, too

Suddenly I got "Sup dawg" moment and wondered if it's possible to FM transmit a FM radio station using N900. Well just wondering.

Nope, the FM receiver requires a headphones cable as antenna and the FM transmitter won't transmit with a headphones cable plugged in.

It's a shame this isn't possible. For people wondering why you would want to do this, I can think of one possible use-case, and that is to mute the radio if receiving an incoming call (hands free, of course) while driving. If using the car's own radio tuned directly into the station, you would have to mute it by hand.
