Why does my Nokia C1-02, X2-02, X2-05, 110, 112, 113, 114, Asha 200 or Asha 201 not have the Record option?
If the Record option is not displayed when you are listening to the radio, this means that your phone was manufactured for one of those countries where the FM Recording feature is not available due to legal reasons.
The phones that according to Nokia have a built-in FM antenna (thus not requiring the use of earphones to act as a FM antenna) are the Nokia X2-02 only, on that list. There have been a few other models over the years that also have a built-in FM antenna, but I can't remember which ones they are off the top of my head.
Apologies for the delay getting back to you, asha200_spec, could you please confirm the product code of your Asha 200 phone so that we can check this?
The Product code is a 7-digit code which will begin with '05...' and may contain numbers and letters, you can find it on the product label inside your phone's battery compartment.
