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)

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

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!

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.

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.

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.
