Virtual Radio
This Internet radio app works quite well on my Motorola Rambler. Comments indicate it works on the Seek and Inuendo too. I don’t know what other Boost phones it works on. I tried it on a Motorola i776 and it installs and starts but I couldn’t get it to play anything. If you try it on a phone other than the Rambler and it works, please leave a comment so I can update this post.
Publisher’s description: VirtualRadio connects to the Internet through your mobile phone operator’s network and links to more than 1500 radio stations from all over the world… To optimize the user experience for regular Java phones, VirtualRadio Java version contains channels with a low bandwidth only (max. 32kbps). VirtualRadio Free runs on most common Java phones (but also on Symbian Smartphones)! As there are countless different Java phones in use, we are unable to tell exactly where VirtualRadio will work or not. Just try it out, it is free!
Keys: Softkeys don’t work on the Rambler. Use arrow keys to navigate, OK to select, End Call key to exit

Half the stations dont work

How do i download this to my phone
To download the app to your phone, go to this page http://boostapps.com/apps/virtual-radio/ with the phone browser and click the JAD link.
Nice app, it works well on my LG Rumor Reflex with on exception, when the app is running, my touch screen is disabled except for the menu/options and back button, i cant choose a station unless i use the arrows on my keyboard, is that normal or is something messed up here?
I haven’t tried it on a touch screen but probably the app isn’t touch aware. Quite of few Java apps aren’t.
Thanx for the support. boost is ghetto for the amount they charge for thier phones. speed slows wayyy down too..
