I upgraded to 2.2 at the weekend and used the radio for the first time today. It's changed! It's now blue and black rather than that horrible orange but the main change is that the RDS actually seems to work.... well better than it did anyway.
Instead of grabbing the station name when it felt like it, it now renames the stations fairly reliably. The only problem is that it seems to use the dynamic scrolling data rather than the static station name. Therefore some stations get labelled with part of the current song, station slogan or half a website address.
I know that it had issues with crashing, I found that it only did this when using the HTC headphones, but I wonder if this has been fixed too?
