So, I’m pretty happy with my Droid 3. Thought I knew all the ins and outs. Turns out I didn’t. Even though there are no apps installed for it on the device and Motorola doesn’t advertise it, the Droid 3 contains an FM receiver! As long as you install the app, it just works out of the box.

You can download the app from here:

Droid 3 FM.apk

Just install it, attach a headset (the phone uses it as an antenna) and start tuning.

Although there are some bugs in the gui, it is pretty usable. Recommended install to have on your Droid 3, even if you don’t have internet, you can at least tune in to local radio to get news.
