I can only speak about iheartradio. I installed it on both a curve and pearl at work. On the curve it worked fantastically. It would be nice if the local stations gps locator would work a little farther out. I'm 30 miles from Columbus, OH and when I select local stations, it won't even find Columbus. Other than that it worked great. Connected immediately. Sounds great. As for the Pearl I haven't had the same luck. After a minute or two the stream quits. I'm not sure if this is the Pearl itself or not because when the music ceases to work, so does all EVDO on the handset and I have to pull the battery. I don't know if this is the VZW firmware or if its the app or just the phone itself.
