Version: Slacker Radio for BlackBerry 1.1
Pros: Cacheing radio stations is a real plus. Does the heavy lifting when you are not in a strong signal area.
Lots of choices to suit your musical taste of the day.
Able to eliminate songs you never want to hear again without wasting a "skip."Cons: Gimme a minute. I'll think of something
Summary: I tried Pandora and was expecting that I'd use it on my BlackBerry Storm when I fell out of love with Rhapsody. But Slacker really surprised so here I am. read more

"Pauses between songs is unbearable, slows down my phone"
Pros: It runs and (mostly) plays music, but that's about all I can say.
Cons: Program takes forever to start up. Pauses between songs is unbearable. Mediocre music selection.
Summary: I decided I wanted to get a streaming music app for my BlackBerry Curve and since both Pandora and Slacker are free decided to try them both out. My experience with Slacker did not go well. First of all, the program takes forever to start up and st... read more

Version: Slacker Radio for BlackBerry 1.1
Pros: Station Caching, Album Art Display, Preprogrammed Stations, Create your own station
Cons: Causes my Storm to reboot every once in a while. This maybe more of a Storm issue. App is not available for all MP3 players, GPS devices, etc.
Summary: I have been using Slacker Radio for about a month and am only sad it took me this long to discover it. I had used Pandora periodically on my Blackberry, but the signal disruptions when not in a good cell area made it more of a novelty than something ... read more

Version: Slacker Radio for BlackBerry 1.1
Pros: you can listen to music anywhere on your phone. That's cool. Beats carrying two devices.
Cons: Limited content. Don't expect to hear it all. If you "love" a song, you'll hear it every single time you fire up that station. Doesn't adapt to your tastes, instead assumes because you like a song you want to hear it over and over.
Summary: Just load up your ipod. Sure...get it, run it, but bottom line i wouldn't pay for it. It'd be nice if last.fm joined Blackberry. read more
