Visual Radio !

With the new Visual Radio function in your handset, you can listen to any traditional FM station - or tune in to a Visual Radio -enabled one to enjoy completely new kinds of services. What you hear will come over the FM airwaves - no changes there. And you can switch on or off the new Visual Radio parallel channel to enjoy enhanced services whenever and wherever you want to. In between, you can enjoy the plain FM radio broadcast - just like with any radio station. This also means you pay for mobile data traffic only when you choose to.

The radio station uses the Visual Radio Tool software to create the contents and services for their parallel channel. That content is then sent to a server, where it will wait for the broadcast to start. During a program, the Visual Radio system makes sure that what it is offering you is kept in sync with the corresponding program elements on the air. This means you can get basic or in-depth info, quizzes and special offers relating to a specific song - just while you listen to it.

More details can be found from Visual Radio FAQ.
