I like to know whats the best App/Software for Internet Radio for my w890i?

Also what speed in kbps these programs use for Internet Radio?

128kbps is the minimum standard for audio right?

I hope you have an unlimited internet plan. 128 is fine, talkshows can go lower.

Hi
i have the "virtual radio" on my P1i ,you can download the basic version for free but for the better version you have to pay,i payed 20$
http://www.vradio.org/downloads.php
and some stations are also 192b/s
i must say that it works very good with WiFi and the sound is very good too,but with 3G it stops sometimes

If I think about it then there is no reason that it will not. Try the free version first and then you will know if it works....it is the same but the free is with limited stations and lower speed.
This radio is not perfect and also the 3G does not make life easier when you on the move,some stations are only WiFi but most both,you will not find so many stations like on winamp but enough.
and this is the only way to listen to the radio with bluetooth

download the free version first ... if it works go further.
Click here and download VirtualRadio to your PC. Unzip and transfer the two files to your mobile phone by cable, Bluetooth or Infrared.

so if it works then also the paid version will work... and yes that is what i said,it is slow speed.
when i downloaded the paid version it was like an software update.did not have to do much.
sound is very good only reception on 3G is bad. wifi is super!
