After teasing us with a leaked .cab in February, Slacker Radio has been officially launched for Windows Mobile 6.5 devices. The Slacker Mobile application is "optimized" specifically for the HTC HD2 and is launched in conjunction with the release of the HD2 on T-Mobile. Slacker should work on other 6.5 phones with WVGA (800x480) screens; those specifically listed are the HTC Imagio, HTC Pure, HTC Tilt 2, LG eXpo and the Samsung Omnia II.

Slacker Radio for Windows Mobile provides access to your Slacker Radio account (Free or Premium), over 100 stations, the ability to create your own stations, and various information about the current track and artist. To give it a try point your mobile browser to m.slacker.com. Let us know your thoughts in the comments!

  • Still doesnt work in landscape mode very good on my TP2 (all the "pause", "skip", "Fav", "ban" buttons are not visible - so it's pretty unusable in landscape mode) Also, the "Favorites" station still doesn't seem to list any items in it even when I tagged various songs as favs. Otherwise it works great!
  • It works, sort of, on VGA devices as well. The bottom buttons aren't visible, but you can still play stations.
  • I love it on my Imagio. I don't have a single bad thing to say about it: the interface, performance...everything is wonderful. It works perfectly!
  • What website did you use to download slacker from to your Imagio? I have an Imagio and have tried multiple times to download it from m.slacker.com but keep getting denied because the security certificate is not signed by a trusted source.
  • Just answered my own question! Imagio users: use Internet explorer on your phone instead of Opera web browser.
  • Is there a way to sign up for a notification for when the WinMo version does come out?
  • Please try and mention where these kind of services are available. Slacker Radio isn't available in Sweden for instance. @m3 ds: I assume you failed to read the post you're commenting on?
  • I love Slacker RAdio! it came preloaded on my Tmobile HD2
  • That's right, rub it in. How are you liking the HD2?

  • The radio gives users with a sensitive interface and unmatched music search option across artist biographies, album reviews and lyrics of a particular song. The Slacker mobile application is optimized for smartphones running Windows Mobile 6.5 with a screen resolution of 480x800.

  • I am really starting to like having Slacker on my TP2, but it's a drag that the favorites don't work and there is no user guide. Can any body offer any special tricks they've learned?
  • The "Favorites" station still doesn't seem to list any items in it even when I tagged various songs as favs
