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

Jose,
First verify that the game you want to upload works on a Boost or Nextel phone using the instructions here: How To: Load (Almost) Any Game or App On Boost and Nextel
When you find something that works just post a comment on the “Welcome” telling me where on the web to find it and I’ll upload it here.
Only freely distributable games though, I won’t post warez
I have an I856, and cannot get sound.List loads quick, but the station never loads.
it wont work on my i9. It loads up but wont make no noise????
I tried the iradio on my i776 and it asks for an activation code
I got it to make some noise on my i465. However i had to stop it because it started playing in the middle of class. Took 6 minutes to start playback. 8 minutes to load the list. and 5 seconds to get me in trouble.
