    Buyer Beware!

    The Argos version is not dual SIM, like their site suggests!
    I'm just back from returning my one, cos it was the single SIM version.
    It was the TA- 1055 model.

    They had no trouble taking it back, but now I need to keep looking :)

    Does anyone know if the phone supports FM Radio like Nokia of old? No FM radio app on the phone so wondering if it does support it what app to download to listen to radio offline?

    That only allows internet streaming of FM Radio though, right?
    I'm looking for a FM Radio tuner, no streaming, just standard FM Radio.

    Does it even have a FM receiver?

    I've read some reviews saying it doesn't have FM Radio but that could be based on the fact it doesn't have the app pre loaded. According to the spec sheet though it does have a FM Radio receiver.

    Ahh offline. There's conflicting reports you can use headphones as antenna on this and there's a chip inside not activated I'm looking into it.

    How small is small? I wouldn't trust a child with anything more than a 3310.

    No FM radio,even though it states clearly is has one,this is either false advertising,or gross negligence, contacted VF via pm on twitter, asked for instructions to turn FM on,or part reimbursement

    GSM Arena states it has an FM radio too.
    Wonder if it's related to the different model (same as how we don't have dual Sims).

    Don't see how lack of FM is an issue with so many services like TuneIn etc. Only situation where I could see it being useful is for conserving battery life.

    Has anyone tried claiming the Google Home Mini from Nokia?
