Just got my samsung delve yesterday and gotta say i am lovin it. I’ve previously browsed this site very a bit and i’m in fact using my samsung delve as being a modem to sort this lol. I am a U.S. cellular buyer and we have a single of thier aircards for world wide web but i consider this cell phone is more quickly, I did do the signal strenght hack also and appears to become workin relatively well.

I enjoy listening to Pandora stations on my iPhone but I also found this really cool gadget that lets me broadcast the Pandora music to any regular radio in my house.

I found it here: http://www.usbfmtransmitters.com .

Thanks to everyone for sharing their tips.

I love Pandora on my iPhone, but agree with the #2 item above – when driving in the car and a song comes on that I want to rate/skip, doing those items listed above is a pain (and somehow distracting as well!). Is that a Pandora fixable item, or an iPhone setting?

Pandora is the best radio and I was very excited when learned they released the iPhone app.

It seams great at a first glance, however there are couple annoyances that keep me back from using it.

A very big flaw: the program quits when a phone call received, then you have to start all over. Can you imagine how annoying it is over EDGE and when you're driving? I am sure there is some kind of non-sense limitation coming from Apple, but there are other apps that would pause and prompt to resume when you go back.
The iPhone screen turns off while the phone is docked and Pandora app is active, so you have to push the home button, then slide to unlock the phone in order to see what's playing, skip a track, or for any other function. The iPod app instead dims the screen during music activity, so you can still see album cover and all other info, plus access to any function just by a touch.

I think these are the two major and probably the only issues the Pandora app has, but still it's the best mobile radio app available.
