US carriers take out FM radio. Korean units I believe have FM radio.

Actually I use to believe that US carries have then removed. However after being a tester fir devices in an unasked US carrier this is far from the truth.

The radios are actually in all devices since the chips used nowadays are exactly the same in all devices if the same model. The vendor (LG, Samsung, HTC c, etc.) will disable them upon the carriers request. It us up the the carrier to decide if they want a feature enabled or not on their device offering.

This was not always the case though. A long time ago manufactures would custom build a device for a carrier and physically add/remove features based on. The carriers request. Now days/ all devices for a market are pretty much the same and those features are turned off or on with a software switch or add/remove drivers.

This does not mean that the V10 physically has a FM radio. I think this is the question that has yet to be answered.
