iRadio
Here’s something people have been requesting forever here on BoostApps, a streaming Internet Radio app that actually works on Boost iDEN and Nextel phones. I’ve tried over a dozen radio apps and never managed to find one that worked on my i776.
The wait is over thanks to BoostApps reader Lise, who found iRadio on GetJar and got it working on her i856. Lise was kind enough to share her find with us.
iRadio has a directory over offer 500 stations which you can browse or search for a particular type of music like hip hop or classical.
According to Lise, on the i856 it takes several minutes to load the list of stations and a couple more to begin playing the selected station, but it does actually work and the sound is good.
I never managed to get iRadio to play anything on my i776. The program did install and run. But it took nine minutes to load the station list. After I picked a station I waited another 40 minutes but it never started playing. The i856 and i9 have a much faster processor and twice as much memory as the other iDEN phones. I suspect that iRadio will only work on the i9 and i856

“Supported iDEN phones: i856 and i9”
i installed the iRadio on my i290 phone. And I can`t get it to load. Can anyone help.
I’m pretty sure it only works on the i9 and i856.
The processor on the i290 is too damned slow and the i290 doesn’t have enough onboard memory to buffer without lots of quiet periods. I don’t recommend it. if you want to listen to it on a phone I would HIGHLY suggest you upgrade to a i890, i865, i865w, i9, i680 or get a Blackberry 8350i with the service book that allows you to have full access to the boost servers
The iradio will load on my i456 but will not play
I got a tree and clouds but it wont play
works on tree but wont play. the cloud needs a code
Thank you but, what’s the code
I don’t think anyone knows. If you go to the website (http://drhu.org) and scroll to the bottom of the page there is a link to request activation codes. But when you click the link it takes you to a page listing the apps that you can get codes for. But iRadio is not listed. Plus most of the codes for listed apps are not free :(.
