Yeah, I don't understand that either... it's gotta be something to do with support, although that doesn't make sense with a free service.
Anyway, I spent a few minutes and got this downloaded and working on my AT&T Tilt. Here's how I did it:
I saw that I got an error message when visiting pandora.com in Pocket IE saying my device is not supported, and yet I got the main/non-mobile homepage when I visited the same page in Opera Mobile on my device. So that told me the page probably detected what device I was on from my browser's user agent. A quick web search showed me that the agent string for the HTC XV6900 (shown on
Pandora's Windows Mobile page as a supported device) is:
Code:
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows CE; IEMobile 7.7) 320x320; XV6900; Window Mobile 6.0 Professional;
So I just added a new user agent in my
User-Agent Switcher Firefox add-on, and re-visited the page. Downloaded perfectly.
I transfered the cab file to my device, and it installed and now runs great.
