The guys over at BBOS found out that Pandora for BlackBerry has been updated with support for the recently released OS 5.0.

“Good news – we just put up the new Pandora 1.1.2 update for 5.0 operating systems including Storm 9530 on 5.0 and the new Storm 9550. Other non-5.0 devices will have to wait a few days before it will be available while we finish testing, however most of the changes in 1.1.2 are to support the 5.0 OS.”

As a reminder, Pandora Radio is a free personalized radio app that allows you to stream music right to your BlackBerry. For more info or to download Pandora visit pandora.com from your BlackBerry Browser.

Let me know how the updated version works for you in the comments!

Pandora for BlackBerry has been updated to version 1.1.1 with a few bug fixes:

• Fixed HTTP 502 issue (and other networking-related issues such as the “connection closed” problem on the 8350i)
• Fixed volume going to “full” after an audio system alert (phone, email, IM) on Storm
• For listeners who use the low end of the volume scale, the jump from 3 bars to 4 bars isn’t as jarring anymore

Pandora will work on the BlackBerry Pearl 8100 series, Pearl Flip 8200 series, Curve 8300 and 8900 series, 8800 series, Bold 9000, Storm 9530 and the Tour 9630.

• Mute button should now properly sleep the device when holding it down

Pandora Radio for BlackBerry was recently updated to version 1.03 with the following changes:

• Support for Wi-Fi on devices that have it (using a high quality AAC-HE stereo audio stream)
• Bluetooth support (you can now explicitly enable it and disable it
  rather than relying on the default audio routing in the device)
• Options screen (accessible from Station List menu) to select preferences for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi (on wi-fi capable devices)
• Support for the Nextel 8350i (only over Wi-Fi)
• Keyboard shortcuts, including pause/play functionality using the mute key (even when Pandora is running in the background)

* UPDATE I was able to fix it by denying Poynt access to my GPS. After doing so it loads and you have to go through a bunch of error screens. Do a battery pull after you ok everything and no more problems. *

* WARNING I initially went to the site to download the application to get some screenshots. Once I found out that it wasn’t compatible with the Curve 8900 I deleted it (without getting screenshots). After deleting and trying to restart, my Curve 8900 gets stuck on the splash screen for T-Mobile and goes no further, with Poynt asking for access to my GPS. It seems like Pandora not being compatible screwed with Poynt and now my Curve 8900 won’t fully load. DON’T DOWNLOAD IT UNLESS YOUR BLACKBERRY IS SUPPORTED. *
