PDAs, Cellphones, Wireless A few months ago I wrote an editorial and several blog posts about convergence on gadgets and how Apple might have to move to the phone market for the next-gen of its iPods. So, where is that market is going? Hi-Mobile.net was very kind to send us over the Sony Ericsson W810i Walkman phone for the purposes of this review. We take a look at the W810i's voice, data and multimedia capabilities.

greetings,

does this phone allow me to listen to the radio via bluetooth?

on my current phone (k700i) it is not possible to listen to the radio on a bluetooth headset.
first i need to connect a handsfree with cable as an antenna. then i can only choose between listening to the handsfree or the builtin loudspeaker. can the W810i send the radio to a bluetooth headset?

Of course not. On most phones, the handsfree is working as an antenna, it is REQUIRED to have it for the FM radio to work. Same on the W810i, you can't do it via Bluetooth because then the radio has no antenna.

thank you for your answer. i find this lack unfortunate.

btw, i think you might not have fully understood what i meant. i know that the handsfree is working as an antenna. even with the handsfree working as an antenna i can still get the radio from the loadspeaker. so i think it should be possible to get the radio from the bluetooth headset in a similar manner. provided that i keep the handsfree connected, so that it may continue to work as an antenna.
