Default FM Radio and Wi-Fi Calls

The BlackBerry site is showing an FM tuner and wi-fi calling using Mobile Hot Spot as OS7.1 features. I don't see any more info on those. Their photo shows an FM tuner on a Bold.

Are those features available now?

BlackBerry - BlackBerry 7 OS - BB7 - New BlackBerry 7 for the new Torch, Curve, & Bold - US

I believe it is the Curve that you are refering to that has the capability of FM tuning which would be correct. The Bold to my understanding doesn't support such capability due to the chipset....I could be wrong.

Thanks for your answer. I'm not that good at device ID's. Also very disappointed to learn that my 9850 is not FM enabled either.

Only the curve 93xx is FM enabled. If I remember correctly they have native UMA enabled rather than Wi-Fi calling like the Bold 99xx and Torches. Might want to check that one, I might be wrong...
