A few weeks ago I received a slotRadio+ music card courtesy of the folks at SanDisk to play around with. The card is a preloaded microSD card that has 1,000 songs and offers 4GB of memory for saving photos, music or videos. The cards work in all Verizon devices and are available as Billboard HITS or DECADES. Each card has 8 preset playlists and the free slotRadio+ application lets you easily play the music from the card on your device. This makes for an easy solution if you're looking to have some tunes on your BlackBerry, but don't want to go through the effort of downloading songs or installing other streaming media applications. The cards also offer 4GB of additional storage so you won't be out of luck trying to save other media when the card is installed. Currently only available for Verizon devices, the slotRadio cards sell for $49.99. Not the best (or cheapest) soution for getting music, but it gets the job done.

Contest: We have two slotRadio cards (one DECADES and one HITS) up for grabs. Just leave a single comment on this post for your chance to win. Keep in mind these cards and the application only work in Verizon devices. So if you aren't with Verizon, please don't enter. Contest ends Sunday at midnight.

Verizon seems to think that BlackBerry users are looking for a better way to get songs on their device. Transfering media to a microSD card for playback on your BlackBerry is far from difficult, but with slotRadio+ you can cut out all the hard steps. The $49.99 microSD card comes pre-loaded with 1,000 MP3s and boasts an additional 4GB of storage. The Billboard HITS and Billboard DECADES cards are loaded up with 8 preset "handcrafted playlists" and make it easy as can be for you to listen to music on your device. Just pop in the slotRadio+ card, fire up your media player and you're done. The catch seems to be that you can't play the songs in any order you want -- you have to use the preset playlists, and cannot shuffle or rearrange anything. Still, you'll have some cheap tunes and an extra 4GB of storage to do with what you please. Both cards are available from Verizon for $49.99, which seems like about $30 more than you need to spend on a 4GB card for your device. Regardless, if you're feeling lazy and want to pick up the HITS or DECADES card, head over to Verizon Wireless for more info.
