@Brix. Its not there, I went through most of the links. I also searched the portal, but no luck.
Maybe they havent uploaded it yet. Where did you hear about it?
I will keep on checking, if I find anything will give feedback.

The WirelessMonkey sent me an MMS early this morning with a video clip of a 6680 playing Virgin Radio...check the "What's New" section or just call customer care...I suspect it's still in test phase so they might be announcing it just yet for fear of overloading their server.
Stuff like this makes me want to get 3G...If they had something like 40 stations I would happily pay a monthly subscription for the pleasure.

@Brix
There is a application for Virgin Radio, I used it sometime ago on P910. It uses GPRS for the radio and I gues since 6680 is 3g, that is how he is playing it, but not sure its the case.
I checked whats new and was not there.
Will check customer care.

cant find it anywhere, maybe its just using the symbian app to do it. I use mtn gprs to stream virgin radio on my pc while surfing the net. its amazing ti think what you would be able to do with 3g... Get avg download of 8k bytes per second, vodacom rarely goes over 3k bytes wwhen i use it.

I see Makro are now selling the branded K750 for the incredible price of R2900. You can draw your own conclusions from that.
@Rhino: I don't have a 3G phone else I would've investigated this Virgin Radio stream this morning.
I know the WirelessMonkey reads this thread and I get the feeling he was just trying to tease us poor ordinary folk who don't have 3G.
Hopefully he'll direct people how to get the stream.

@Brix.
I hope he can explain, because I would love to know how he did it. I just hope it's not a symbian application.
@Rhino.
I agree with you. Vodalive doesn't live up to expectations. They should provide more streaming media, like radio, some TV station. They have BBC, so they can have other few stations also.

Interesting that you guys are mentioning Virgin Radio. Just ran Virtual Radio, made a quick list of the channels and groups. In total there are 22 Channel Groups, e.g
- Talk&Comedy
- SkyFM
- Virgin
- Reggae/Island
- Latin
- Italian
- African
- Middle Eastern
Each channel group has a minimum of 3stations. In total, there is a whopping selection of over 250 stations, ranging from Metal, Jazz, Pop and Classical to Radio Iran, Canal Angola and Radio Moscow. How's that for choice?
Guys, Virtual Radio is not an app. It's an experience...

@Kryptik.
Can you tell how you got Virtual Radio, and maybe Virgin Radio? |

That Virtual Radio app is the best solution to those amongst us who enjoy radio. Pity it's only Symbian.
@Kryptik: Is Virtual Radio compatible with Vodacom? Last time I checked they didn't support streaming on GPRS.

The minute i get home i'm going to change over to my Vodacom sim and give it a shot, boet. @Skhuu, i think i got the Virgin app off one of their subsidiary sites a while ago, although i've deleted it subsequently since it comes packaged with Virtual.
