Two settings for steaming audio quality
Bluetooth option
Auto-play on startup
Ability to easily switch accounts

You can pick it up OTA by just heading to www.pandora.com from your Berry’s browser or go to www.pandora.com/blackberry from your desktop. If that does not get you the new version try directly OTA at this link.

Very nice – it’s been great watching this application mature and it’s also good to know that the royalty battle has finally concluded in a way that lets Pandora survive.

Does anyone have any idea what the high and low quality options equate to in kbps?

Pandora is available for the following on AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, & Verizon. Now why would they not have it in Canada?. Maybe some year.

  Our license restricts us to streaming in the US only. We have plans to support more countries in the future, but at this point we do our best to restrict access to listeners in the US.

Did this update also install Slacker on their phone as well? Several weeks ago I defeated Slacker off of my phone. But after this install/update its back on.

At this point I prefer Slacker just because of the caching feature. Streaming just never works for me. I get drops and battery life issues.
