there is a mistake: N900 doesn't have a FM receiver, only a FM transmitter. So, there is no FM radio, but Internet radio instead

My name is Lorin and I'm an owner of a 2 months old HTC Touch Pro 2 and I'm thinking of getting the HD2 this week or the beginning of the next week. I'll keep both phone because i like to have a physical keyboard but i want that huge screen and that speedy processor Anyway, i looked on xda and here for solutions to all the issues mentioned in reviews and by users and i found everything except one thing. I also saw some good reviews on http://www.HTCHD2Forum.com so if you have anything good to share, please feel free.
