Pandora music streaming comes to the BlackBerry
The free music recommendation service launches an application for select Bold, Curve and Pearl smartphones.
Good news for BlackBerry-using music fans: popular music streaming and recommendation engine service Pandora today released a free application for Research In Motion's signature smartphone platform. The other good news is that the app is totally integrated with the web version of Pandora, meaning you can listen to all your existing stations if you already have an account; if not, just sign up and create new stations right within the app. The bad news is that of the set of BlackBerries supported, users on T-Mobile are out of luck, although Pandora's site indicates other handsets will be supported soon.
Not familiar with Pandora? The service was one of our 10 must-have music apps for the iPhone recently, and although G1 and Android users are still out of luck at present you can always fire up ye olde web browser and check out Pandora for free.

I have a Blackberry Pearl 8130 and am unable to control the sound or output the audio via the headphone jack. Anyone else have this problem?

Yes, I'm finding this problem as well - i'm trying to listen to Pandora on my BBerry Curve with headphones and its only projecting from the speakerphone.
Any tips?

Okay, problem solved. Remove and re-insert the battery (hard re-set), pandora now plays through my headphones just fine. Horay!

Same problem here, it was working find through the headphones for weeks, and now it only outputs through the speakerphone. The built in media player still plays through the headphone output just fine..what's the problem with pandora here? I'm using a bb curve on sprint.
