As a compelling free alternative to satellite radio, the FlyCast network has
experienced explosive growth in users and content since its launch in January 2008.

Sam Abadir, FlyCastxxx8217;s CEO, said xxx8220;With the success of the recent consumer-oriented
BlackBerry smartphones, it was an easy decision for us to add FlyCast support for
the BlackBerry Curve, BlackBerry Bold and BlackBerry Storm. Our focus is on giving
users the best possible mobile entertainment experience and these three
smartphones are excellent examples of how to effectively combine consumer and
business mobile functionality. Since our network delivers a broad spectrum of
content, including news, talk, sports, traffic, weather and every genre of music,
wexxx8217;re sure that BlackBerry users will quickly embrace FlyCast.xxx8221;

The FlyCast Mobile Broadcast Network includes over 1000 stations from top
terrestrial and web broadcasters, including Entercom, Cox Radio, AccuRadio, 977
Music, 1.FM, 1Club and radioIO. The network provides unsurpassed quality of
service and paradigm-shifting features, like StreamSlipTM, which allows users to
continue to listen to a station even during extended periods without a
connection; Top of the HourTM, which allows latecomers to listen from the beginning
of news, talk and sports radio shows; SongSkipTM, which allows listeners to skip to
the next song on certain webcast stations and pause on all stations. The BlackBerry
smartphone version of FlyCast supports background play, allowing users to listen
while they use their handset for other functions, and also supports playback
through Bluetooth® stereo headsets.

Well then, it's not "Now On BlackBerry", it it? This thread should have been titled a press release, or "coming soon", rather than mislead the readers of this thread from the headlines.

"Initially, the BlackBerry support will be limited to three models, the Curve, Bold, and Storm."

That's not Blackberry support!! That's Curve, Bold, and Storm support. :(

No one cares about those models any more!! ;)

Any 88xx people using this program? I see the phone is not mentioned below. When I tried to sign up , it read invalis userid

"FlyCast currently works on mobile devices with Safari browsers, like the iPhone and the iPod Touch, and BlackBerry Bold, Storm, and Curve phones. The network will soon be available on any mobile device with a full web browser."

Register from your computer. FlyCast - Now your smartphone is complete

neftv · 11-04-2008, 09:28 AM

Its been posted before. I have tried it out and it works on my 8310 .81 OS. Only thing is I can't see how you add your own stations you want to listen too. However, the nice thing about it, you don't use the BB Media player and its flaws.

akosnitzky · 11-04-2008, 09:38 AM

When I signup. I keep getting the prompt you must provide a valid userid. I also placed this issue on their forum site.

akosnitzky · 11-04-2008, 09:43 AM

Thank you. Trying now

Go to their site and go through the main area.
You will see a large IPOD and a button next to it that says
"Sign Up for Flytunes"

Click on this and you can register.
Then you will be able to login from your BB.

Took me a while to figure it out yesterday.

Thank you. I am logged in. In accordance with my device, my settings are network only. I was able to load a song for a moment. I guess I will need to use trial and error.
