Sirius XM Radio For BlackBerry Launched By Bla1ze | 04 Feb 2010 08:47 | 
179 comments
We had heard before that SIRIUS XM was launching their dedicated app for BlackBerry sometime near the end of January. While that time came and past we still had no app from them available. Seems like we just had to wait a little bit longer, the observant folks in the forums have let us know the application is now available. Devices supported, as indicated on the site are Curve 8500, Bold, Storm and Tour. With the application you do get a free 7 day trial and after that it's required that you sign up for one of the subscription options that are available. 120 channel, no ads - but sadly it appears no Howard Stern either. Check it out, let us know in the comments what you think of it.

Listening to my boys Opie & Anthony on my Storm 2. All is right in the world!
Finally ... O&A on the BB is sweet. This is the sort of app which is very popular on the Iphone/Ipod Touch platform. Glad to see that the BB is getting some love.
Hell Yes!!!!
O&A all the way yhooooo
Is O&A available on the mobile device? I don't see it on the channels nor a comedy category.
Agreed, it's great that I can listen to the boys in the mornings when I am getting ready.
Any idea if and when, Sirius will be available on other Blackberry models? Like the 8330?
SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i'll have to download this and give it a try, not having howard stern available is absolutely a positive tho. howard stern is just far too disgusting to even consider human IMO. i've seen cleaner and more well articulated conversations written on toilet stalls than i've ever heard on stern.
you obviously dont listen to howard. the only reason to pick up this this app is if it had stern.
I concur... I don't have a Sirius subscription, but if I could listen to Stern thru the app on here, and on my computer at work, I would subscribe... not cool. You would think that Sirius would want to have his channel on here, more listeners... more money...
The only people that think Howard is disgusting and revolting is people that dont listen to him. Its a paid subscription. If I'm paying for Sirius/XM dont tell me what I cant listen to. Cant believe those hacks O&A are there and not Howard. Howard is the king and O&A are the court jesters.
you can listen to Stern on your computer at work..... I do via the sirius online player..
Ellis, C&R, Bubba, O&A and many more, friggin Tony Hawk has a show. Oprah even??! (I know haha, but still), everthing is on Sirius.
The app is just a nice bonus for me and with everything else Sirius has to offer, Stern is just a small part of it all. You cant compare slacker and pandora to sirius.
If I am away from my car, I dont have to take my sirius radio with me now, I can take a cord and plug my berry into my the stereo on wakeboard boat instead of installing another radio. WooHoo!
Yeah this app is just TERRIBLE for everyone. (Sarcasm off)
So you don't listen to Howard, NOBODY CARES!
"Cleaner," I would side with you on. "Articulate," I'll have to say he's articulate enough. I just personally won't listen to him because he's a jerk. Some people like that.
"The only people that think Howard is disgusting and revolting is people that dont listen to him."
- Good point. That's why I don't listen to him.
You must upgrade your subscription to premium internet radio to use this service. My subscription already includes free internet radio. No Howard and an additional $2.99 a month--I will pass! Too bad.
So its an additional fee plus the fee for the premium internet radio?
No. Just the fee for premium internet radio from what I can see.
they used to give it free with your subscription now they want $2.99 a month.
nickel and dime just like every other pay subscription thing(verizon).
I use to be able to stream XM online. I pay for 2 XM/Sirius subscriptions and they want more money for online, more money for mobile WTF!
The premium service has never been free. It used to be that you can listen to certain channels at a higher bitrate if you went "premium". They changed that about a year ago, It's a technicality, but the premium service has never been free.
The number one channel I listen to isn't supported. This is a useless app to me if I can't hear Covino and Rich on it.
Wow, this is the main reason I was excited for this app. Stars 2 is on the iPhone version. I will be very pissed if this is true. Downloading now.
Edit: it's on there!!!! check the entertainment section!!!!!
C&R is on there. I am listening to Stars Too right now.. me and vinnie is ending soon.
So if I am not a current subscriber how much will this actually cost me a month on BB? Had XM about 5 years ago and it was about $12 bucks a month and included PC listening & car but not mobile.
Thanks for anyone who can clear this up since this nickel & dime for apps is getting a bit crazy.
I am wondering this as well. I tried to find a price on their website but couldn't find anything, and I don't really feel like going through the sign-up process to find out what the price is.
I used to be a Sirius subscriber but canceled my subscription awhile ago. I think it was about $13/month and you had to pay an extra $3/month for internet.
...It seems if you do not have a sirius subscription, you can only subscribe for 1 year, 2 yyears or 3 years. $100-$300.
wtf no howard?
still sticking with orb
How do you do it on ORB?
US account required... even If I pay for the xm online+ in canada...
Before even trying to install it, I would like to know. Thanks
Sirius Canada doesn't even offer the premium online so No. You can use the trial version just put in a US Zip code ( 90210 ).
$2.99 really isn't that much to upgrade your internet stream and get this mobile app. I will really miss the sports however, and could care less about Howard Stern, he is juvenile, tacky and crude. If I want juvenile I could just listen to Jason Ellis on Faction. Besides, the iPhone app doesn't offer Howard Stern or the sports programming, and I believe it was or still is $7.99 a month.
I might pay if Howard was on but there is no way I will bother without him. Very disappointing.
Pay for streaming 128k music when I have Pandora, slacker, last fm and a ton of my music on the 16 gig card???
NEVARS!!!!
Awesome. Opie and Anthony on the go = more better. EFF Howie
Already a streaming subscriber...free app for me.
No Howard Stern?
I think I'll stick to the free uSirius/Orb listening...
Will that work on a Blackberry?
Anybody else having trouble starting the application?
I have a BB Tour on Verizon Wireless.
I have even rebooted my phone, but everytime I attempt to start the application it crashes. I get 2 alternating error messages.
"Error starting SXM: Module 'SXM-1' has verification errors."
or
""Error starting SXM: Error loading modules 'SXM' OutOfMemoryError."
Why does this have to stream over the internet on our phone when we all have GPS? That uses satellites just like satellite radio right? I'm sure there is a simple answer for this but, I just haven't found an internet radio option that works well for me. We don't have very good service where I live and I'd love to use it in the house while I'm working out and cleaning etc. In the car the internet radio always seems to pause to buffer (i guess, not sure).
You are correct, however, it's a completely different frequency compared to GPS. You don't have a receiver in your phone tuned to receive the Satellite Radio frequency directly.
Only downside is that its about a five minute delay...
No landscape on the storm only portrait....kinda a bummer but nonetheless, I don't have to buy the sirius adater for my new radio now
Hope there is a Canadian version out soon! This has been a wanted app since I got my storm a year ago.
I hope Sirius makes a app for Canadian users. We are always the last to get some of the great apps out there.
Finally I can listen to Ted Sheckler talk about his vast expansion of emporiums whilst i'm on the go!!
I think its insane of XM/Sirius to charge current listeners anything! I have 4 radios with them and one is a lifetime which allows free internet listening (not really free since it is $400 for the lifetime) On the other 3 radios I now pay over $300 a year on service and also get dinged for royalty fees... To hit subscribers with another fee of $2.99 a month might be one of the pettiest things I have heard in a long time. Shame on XM! I will not be downloading- I hope others don't either.
No Howard, no download.
To all of you morons saying how disgusting Howard Stern is, go home and read your bible, and dream of the days when george bush was in power. You are stupid, uneducated, and unintelligent people.
opie and anthony? The people listening to these 2 white trash HACKS are just as bad. Get a clue! They wouldn't exist if it wasn't for the KING Of All Meida, Howard Stern.
No Howard = don't waste your time with this app.
WAKE UP SIRIUS!
