Not sure if this has been posted yet but I've been trying to dl Iheartmusic and it tells me my model is not supported. I have a pearl 8120 and the web site says it supports the pearl. Am I doing something wrong?

Can you explain more? Is it a client you are downloading or just music

ThePhoenixPearl · 03-16-2009, 12:43 PM

Its a app called Iheartmusic. It can be found here at Iheartmusic.com

iHeartRadio: Streaming Internet Radio For The BlackBerry

Thank you. Trying it now. It is supposed to work on your phone as you said

I only was able to get a promo to play for a station. That's it.

It worked quite nicely on my 8100 but it didn't offer any stations that I didn't already get through Moodio; in fact, the radio station selection seemed to be restricted to Clear Channel stations (not surprised since iheartradio appears to be owned by Clear Channel).

Nice looking app but I'll stick to Moodio just to reduce the app clutter on my Pearl.

I added it to my Curve, seems to work just fine. Downloaded quickly and music selection is pretty broad if u like radio. which i do. easy to navigate, figure i'd try it and think so far so good!!

I see the two that are fortunate are T-Mobile users

BrianBrainTech · 03-16-2009, 03:21 PM

It's great..I'm lovin it on my Pearl. It's been working pretty flawlessly except for buffering sometimes between stations.

You have to remember its just a beta launch of it...I think theyre looking for some feedback and I'm sure they have a FaceBook, MySpace and Twitter for those types of things..anyone know?

I know there was a place to put your email in to get some updates too.

Overall, I give them

Radio is back. Good job!

It worked for me right out of the box. When I close the app, I see a lot network activity. I shut the BB off/on to stop it. - can listen to an old station in Philly WDAS FM

Love this app! So excited when i saw this was available for the BB

Finally bob and tom and Reds games!! wooooot

this is a fantastic app. the sound quality is great, and the buffering speed absolutely DOMINATES that of slacker's on my curve 8330. anyone have any idea as to how many stations this app will support in the near future? the cities seem pretty limited; i'd love to see them expand. i realize not every radio station out there streams their music on the internet, but i've got to believe that there are more than what iheart currently offers....

Hmm. I wonder why I am having issues. I get the promos as I said and thats it. We have the same carrier and device.

I noticed that as well and I didn't like it.
Deleted the app.

that is strange, especially since you've had at least SOME degree of success (with the promos). i'm guessing you've tried all of the "go-to" steps (uninstall, reinstall, battery pulls, etc.) outside from those steps, it must be a problem on their end....

raja_3012 · 03-17-2009, 10:48 PM

i download it too and it worked fine for me.. but after using it for sometime I uninstalled the app.. it did not allow me to listen the radio station of my choice.. the radio stations were fixed. The interface is simple but it is still not that intuitive.

Thank you. I reinstalled and it is working now

Nice. And for anyone interested, I'd highly recommend checking out the Pandora app for the BlackBerry that just came out today. www.pandora.com from your BB browser. It has taken over for Slacker on my device; I'll be deleting Slacker momentarily
