SomaFM, one of my favourite Internet radio stations (the other being Radio Paradise) has been working hard to get its iPhone application into the iTunes store and is considering a blackberry application. I guess there has to be "an app for everything" because the iPhone is nothing more than ipod that can make calls when it comes out of the box. The E75 has Internet Radio built in as a part of the radio application. If your phone does not have it, you can download it from the Nokia Internet Radio site.
The first time you fire it up, the radio app will warn you that listening to streaming radio is data intensive, so make sure you either use a wireless ethernet connection or you have an unlimited data plan. Now, choose the search option and then enter the radio station you want to hear. If you've never checked them out, just start by typing 'SomaFM'
The radio app will find all the stations carried by SomaFM, so just select one.
The player will buffer some of the stream before it starts playing so it can better handle network hiccups.
You are going to need a 3G or better connection to listen to SomaFM's 128k streams. When I get homesick for Texas, I choose the Boot Liquor station. Yee-haw!
I also noticed an Internet Radio app at the Ovi store called "Mundu radio" but have not had a chance to try it out.
