This is so sexy, I've been wanting something like this for a while. Too bad when I try to download it, it says my phone isn't supported

Also, the support email address listed doesn't work (delivery failure)

We will have the updated email shortly. Thanks for reporting.

[tcfila]

Do we still have to pay if we already subscribe to XM?

[Mike Stem]

WOW! This is cool, I have really been waiting for this. I am a huge XM fan, have it at home and in my car, and was considering buying a portable device also. Now I can get it on my Pearl. Please keep us updated, and thank you!

tcfila, I suspect we will have to pay something! When I added my home unit, after already having a sub for my car, it cost me (I think) an extra $6 bucks or so. I will surf over to the XM site and learn what I can and post back. Mike

I got it to run on my 8320 but it stops often. Not sure if it runs over my wifi or the network, but I am connected to wifi and in an EDGE area. I'd pick this up if it had more channel options and a better connection. I was happy to check it out, though!

[flyerno9]

XMradio not available on the Verizon 8130.

[fritter]

hmmm... only 20 channels for 8 bucks! Not sure if its worth it yet. but promising

[kstroud70]

:D:D:D This rocks.... I'll be on XM all day...... Thanks for the heads up PinStack

[jonnyxedge]

oh man my buddy with a wing keeps telling me that windows is better because they can do this already...not anymre this is awesome

[flyerno9]

This app is going to hog up all kinds of memory isn't it?
My 8130 is leaking all sorts of data due to low memory.

Can someone who has tried it list which channels they have available for mobile. I would like to know the choices before I download it.

[zjfarmer]

Well I was curious and downloaded. After downloading it updated the channel listing which took about a minute and a half. You then have to put in your name, email and promo code (if you have one). Then your 24 hr trial begins.

You have 6 genres to choose from: pop, hits and dance; rock; country; decades; jazz and classical; and comedy.

In pop the channels are: Top 20 on 20; The City; XM Hitlist; Flight 26; and XM Chill.

In rock: Lucy; Top Tracks; Starbuck's XM Cafe; Ethel; and XMU.

In decades: The 60's; The 70's; The 80's; and The 90's.

In country: Highway 16 and US Country.

In jazz: Watercolors.

In comedy: The Virus and XM Comedy.

Thanks zjfarmer~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~

[bayzbol44]

I downloaded it and I am trying it soon. Not sure why they are charging $8 more for a current XM subscriber. IF anything, they should charge the $6 extra they do for additional units.

[gator2418]

That's what's up.......

[tmdavies01]

When are they going to do this for SIRIUS!?!??!??!?!??!?!?!!??!??!?!

[Cisco Kidd]

~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~
bayzbol44 it's a 3rd party so that's why it' $8 not $6

[Town Drunk]

is the $8 sent to the phone, or do I get a bill in mail?

[bayzbol44]

So who is providing the content? XM, right? IF I pay $8, who am I paying? XM or the 3rd party?

[Town Drunk]

Who sends bill to where? Is it tacked on my cell, or do I set up a account with XM?

[hayden]

Updated with screen shots.

[LaTuFu]

Boo! I have Sirius because it is installed OEM in my car. You two are merging! Do it for Sirius too! hehe

[tcfila]

This is pure crap. I can listen online for free with my subscription. This should be free as well. I'd pay for the download, but that is it.

[bayzbol44]

I have had some issues with a couple channels (Flight 26 and one other one). Besides that, not too bad. I usually listen to the Virus at work and it appears to be about 1 minute behind the "live" radio feed on my radio.

Its all about the revenue, my friend. If the masses will pay, they'll charge for it. If the majority of us vote with our wallets and not buy it, they'll change it. Free market at work.

Same thing happens in Pro Sports, on a much larger scale. People always wonder why Stadiums charge $15 for a beer and $100 for a nosebleed seat? Because they can (i.e. lots of people pony up the $$ for it)

[Town Drunk]

Works on 8700C

[CMangum]

Works great need to find out about the existing xm account price, a couple bucks is a couple bucks

[AAVargas]

So there's no spanish channels, no hip hop/r&b. This is definitely not for me. I love the idea but nothing i would listen too besides the comedy.
