After contacting shop in Japan they also confirm that it can recieve UK FM broadcasts.
So, I just ordered the T30 2GB from Japan (gulp!). For the extra £30 im getting double the memory (which i'll def need) and FM radio. I'm going on holiday in less than a month so couldnt really wait for it to be on sale over this part of the world which isnt going to include a radio anyways.
Shall report how I get on with it when it comes.
