Sprint Takes Pandora Radio to Go

Sprint Takes Pandora Radio To GoSprint has announced that Pandora-powered streaming radio stations are now available on five of its phones (which will be joined in the next 30 days by at least five additional phones).

Pandora is a Web-based service that creates personalized streaming radio stations for users based on listening preferences. It works by breaking down songs by their "musical DNA" (a fancy techno-babble word for attributes like rhythm, genre, melody). The user is asked to enter a song or artist that he or she likes. Pandora then uses that choice to create a custom radio station based on what it thinks the user will enjoy. Users then rate each song as it plays, which over time helps Pandora get a feeling for the user's musical tastes.

According to Pandora, the mobile service is first available on Sprint because Sprint was, "first to market with over the air downloads, the first to set prices at just .99 cents per song price, and they also have the best music phones on the market."

The following Sprint phones now support Pandora:
  • Samsung A900
  • Samsung A920
  • LG Fusic
  • Sanyo 7500
  • Sanyo 8400
The following Sprint phones will soon support Pandora:
  • Samsung m500
  • Samsung m610
  • Samsung Upstage
  • Motorola KRZR
  • Motorola RAZR
  • Sanyo M1
Pandora is looking to offer its service to other carriers eventually, but has given no specifics. In the meantime, Sprint is offering Pandora free 30 days, after which it will cost $2.99 per month.
