ive downloaded pandora to my blackberry but it says that it will use large amounts of data...and that att will prob charge me more

im sure this prompts up on any blackberry when installing this, but im just wondering if i would have to pay to actuallyhave pandora working?

[AZBBFAN]

If you have a data plan(you should), you don't have to worry

[mr2kool09]

well i have the unlimited talk, text, web and email plan thingy for att...would it cover it?

[AZBBFAN]

yep, good to go. I use pandora 6-7 hours a day at work

[mr2kool09]

What is this pandora?

[USSZulu]

Its a music streaming application. Basically you select your favorite artists and it then plays that artist and artists like it.

Nice, prolly kills the battery then huh?

[USSZulu]

Meh I haven't used it for a long period of time yet so cant tell if it causes MUCH more battery loss. I also have a tour so your performance maybe different than mine. But for reference, for the little bit I have used it I have not experienced much of a battery loss at all. For me it seems like a pretty solid application.

CJJeffers, whats your battery performance on it?

I've listened to it for over 3 hours along with over 100 texts and some net browsing and regular media player and battery lasted me 10 hours til I got off work. So it doesn't drain too much. Now on my 8320 yep and 8900 it did somewhat.

Well even if it uses a decent amount of your battery life since it's constant streaming of data back and forth for music, charge it at work while in use and you are good to go.

Pandora is one of the best apps I have on my Bold. I am listening to it now while I work (or surf CB )

[mr2kool09]

hey do you guys have some other good apps like pandora that are free but just as useful?

[Gnomad]

iheart radio and Slacker are ones that I use the most.

[davidnyc]

Slacker is awesome since you can actually 'cache' a station to your memory card and listen to music while underground, on a plane, etc. It uses less battery that way too. The only negative is that you have to connect your BB to a PC to run the caching tool.

so slacker like sets up a temp file in my memory and it can be listened to anywhere?
whats the variety of each station, like how many songs would it have

hey so how do we raise in rank on this website...is it proportional to the amount of times we post on here using our blackberry's?

[That70sGAdawg]

Flycast is great for listening to your favorite AM radio stations (talk) while anywhere (traveling). It streams also, and for an upgrade fee you can even record up to 20 hours of music/talk for playback anytime.- Like a DVR for radio. I love it!

[SubyWill]

i use pandora ALL the time. i love it, and they have a great selection of music!

That's a somewhat standard disclaimer that many audio/video streaming apps use "just in case". However, since we launched Pandora in March of 2009, we haven't heard of a single case of a listener being charged extra or excessive fees by their carrier for using Pandora. As long as your have an unlimited data plan through AT&T you'll be safe (just don't use Pandora while roaming Internationally)

On a related note, even if you didn't have unlimited data plan, it would take at least 300 hours of music on "Normal" audio quality setting or 150 hours of music on "High" audio quality setting to reach the 5GB cap that some carriers offer for smartphones. That's a lot of listening!

Checkout Slacker Radio as well...it works similar. Both are great...Pandora is ZERO commercials, Slacker blurbs about every 6 songs.

v1.1.3 works much better.
