    HI,
    I want to tell you that some Nokia devices come with a built-in FM radio, but the Nokia 6600 does not. We're often asked whether software is available to add a radio to their phone. Unfortunately, it's not that simple, as it's not just a software issue. Phones that have built-in radios contain dedicated hardware in the phone to do this (an FM RF tuner)... and the 6600 doesn't have that. If you're really desperate to listen to radio from your handset, note that it is possible to listen to streaming audio over the Internet via GPRS (using an application such as Avec Radio), although don't expect the results to be up to much!
    There are some Nokia headsets available with an FM radio in the lead, but we can't find one that works with the 6600.
    so Not Possible

    The headphones for FM radio on Nokia handsets only act as an antenna. They do not tune in the FM stations.

    It is possible on any Nokia phone that has an FM tuner to short-out two pins on the bottom of the phone and use any standard headset for radio playback. Alternately, you can use the FM stereo headset adapter, turn on the radio, then plug-in a standard 2.5mm headphone, then unplug the stereo headset. It works the same as shorting-out the pins as I had mentioned above. You can use any headset from then on for FM stereo playback.

    There may be some Java internet radio apps out there. I would try Googling for some before I gave up.

    I guess 6600 doesn't has FM Radio facility.If you want to listen to fm on the 6600,your only option is to buy a headset with an FM receiver built in.
