Nokia 5800 - very poor FM radio

I have this model of phone. It has a built-in FM radio, however I have only ever been able to receive one station on it, my local independent radio station, it does not pick up any others at all. Is this just my phone, any other 5800 owners have the same problem?

It's ordinary FM not digital. You do have to have the headphones plugged in.

Update - I've had a mess around with the settings. I turned a setting on called Use Alternative Frequencies (or something like that). Seems to have helped, I'm now getting all the main BBC radio stations and Classic FM as well (which is the one I really wanted). So I'm a happy bunny now.
