It was announced as an app for Nokia N8.   Try it at your own risk but do report here if it works.

you have to register (which you can do in app, very quick too) and this uses the integrated gps apparently as i get a confirmation to let it use positioning data. also integrates with your twitter acount. similar to mobbler app only a bit more sophisticated. surprisingly its a java app not a .sis or .sisx file. very fast loading times. brings up all artwork. takes some time starting a station...it says starting station while i'm writing this ... but its loaded artwork and album info. dont know how to quit the app without using task manager tho...ok it still hasn't started a station yet so i can't comment on playback for now...not sure why it's taking so long...i tried "deadmau5" i'll try another artist now hang on..ok there doesn't seem to be a way back to change radio station or artist or anything...i just quit it... you have to quit and open app again to change artist/station...:/ ok well other than that seems a good app/idea...just tried "eminem" and again loads artwork and album info and track info but takes aaagessss to start station....so i quit it again with task manager.

Not very good for a first impressions...
EDIT: +1 for the info

This app is from Nokia Beta Labs so this is a Beta (and not Final) version and things might not work as they should.

I think it was good if you could spent a little time and leave your impressions at Nokia Beta Labs since this is the purposes for they releasing beta versions. Is for users to test it and leave their problems/suggestions.

nope for s60 v5 ... The app crashes

It works ok. I'm getting music from it. Navigation is done using the buttons at the top of the app.

It sometimes freezes and requires a task manager exit. Nice idea overall

[carman58]

app loads and sets up fine, but tried about 5 stations and can't vet any sound out of any of them, graphics load and play bar moves, but no sound ! N97 using java 1.4

does anyone know if theres a radio app whereas i can enter a frequency other than built in radio cos i dont like having to plug headphones in . basicall yim trying to listen to glaxy or capital as its now known ion the uk over internet but cant seem to fina an appropriate app???
tried this one which is ok but i think like the other poster put its quite complicated and need alot of tweaking before final release comes out.

@coopigeon
You need to connect your phones because they serve as antenna (this is for every phone).
If you want to listen to radio via stream on internet, you can use one of this apps:
