I am mostly in for FM radio phones and have used quite a many time for many purposes, like listening music but many times I have thought of getting an AM transmission radio and every time I have to get my old radio beside my phone. This is just because I know I can’t find any phone with AM radio. This time we have got a phone, R306 by Sony Ericsson which has a built in AM radio. AM tuner has two modes: 9 kHz (Americas and Japan) and 10 kHz (the rest).

Sony Ericsson R306 features a built-in radio tuner which works in both FM and AM. It also features a 1.3 megapixel camera which offers digital zoom for photo shooting lovers. With Bluetooth connectivity, and a USB connection, R306 focal point is its two stereo speakers with dedicated radio keys and vintage radio looks. R306 clamshell design allows it to transform immediately into a radio.

The phone was announced in January but it’s available now. However, there are no press informations on the pricing, it shouldn’t be too expensive.
