If your dying for FM, just use the trophy or tune in. .
Yea, that is what I have to do now. I listen to a lot of FM sports radio and I can get Football, Hockey and baseball off that radio station. I can't stream those games unless I want to pay for each package. MLB, NFL, and NHL want extra money to stream audio games, even MLB is like $40 a year, never mind the other ones. SO streaming games is pointless here.
I still have my trophy but, when I have a "high end" phone in my pocket that I paid full retail (non contract), that fully supports FM radio but, MY carrier disabled it, this is a problem and after paying the prices that we pay for these devices, WE SHOULD GET ALL THE FEATURES THAT WE PAID FOR.
Verizon has been doing this c.r.a.p. way too long, I really think it's time for a class action lawsuit and trying to create a law that carriers can not disable features on a device any more if the device supports it. PERIOD
I'm sure this is so users will use more data and with capped data plans they make more money.
Also, if you switch to HTC, don't feel bad if your device doesn't have exclusive deals/apps on it. Its bs for sure, but I'm sticking with Nokia until the OEMs start to make WP worthwhile.

Read through some of my other posts. The exclusive apps are not a big deal to me, when I picked up my 928, there was not one exclusive app that I wanted to buy. 95% of the time using my phone is not any 3rd party apps (besides facebook or twitter that are not any exclusives) and I think most people use their phone that way.
It's not as big of a deal to me over all. I had a HTC 8X for 4 months before getting a 928, the only reason I upgraded was the space, when it comes down to it, they are the exact same phone.....
WIndows Phone 8 does not allow anyone to customize the OS, like in Android, When you buy a different brand Android device, you get a whole new interface from the OEMs, this is not the case with WP8, so it's not as much of a big deal going from HTC, Nokia, or Samsung..
Not trying to go off topic here too much but, the fact of the matter is, carriers disable features that the phone supports because they chose to, and that is just wrong with the prices we have to pay for them.
