I really didn’t need it but since I’m trying to better organize and manage my time better, I decided to take the plunge. I got it off of EBay for $230 where it retails for around $300 – so I saved a couple of bucks.

The main reason I got it was because I love Howard Stern. I’m retarded for him. I usually end up listening to his replay on Howard 100 but that doesn’t usually end till 2. So, I’m stuck in the house till then usually. I know, I’m an idiot.

With this baby, you can set it to record over a 100 hours of music or talk radio. Transfer mp3′s from your music collection and add memory buy adding a microSD card. It has built in WiFi and and from what I understand, it even makes you breakfast. All this and it’s portable! I used it ridding my bike this weekend.

I know Sirius and XM are (hopefully) about to merge and that there will be newer and better products out on the market soon, but using this is a great way to add hours to my day. If you’re thinking about getting one, do yourself a favor – buy it!

It was my Christmas present to myself and I love it. It’s everything I’ve wanted in a phone and what’s the best is that I didn’t have to switch providers to get it.

Anyway, I love Howard Stern and I’ve tried and tried to listen to Sirius Radio on the phone since day 1 but finally figured out it just wouldn’t work.

Then last week, I got an idea: What if I used my phone’s blue tooth and pair it with my PDA.

The first thing I did was to see if I could get Sirius to run on my PDA. I tried it and of course it didn’t work. My friend told me about Select Radio a couple weeks back. I installed that onto the PDA and it worked like a charm. I totally recommend it. Not only can you get Sirius, you can get XM and literally thousands of radio stations.

So, with that taken care of, I now tried to link up my phone and PDA. I knew it could be done because… well, why couldn’t it? Someone in the world had to have figured out how to do it.

Well, I was right.

After many different Google searches, I was led to Mark Venture’s Verizon Phone Info Page. I did all the configurations and gave it a try.

It connected to my phone and they started to talk. Every time it would connect though, it was always asking for the username and password. In the config, it tells you what they are but for some reason it didn’t accept it.

I tried it so many times without it working, I wanted to throw my PDA off my balcony (not my phone because it did nothing wrong. the PDA is the bastard step child in this senario).

Then, somehow I found the answer – on lgvoyager.com’s wiki page (Go all the way down to the Dial-Up Networking portion). All you have to do is go inside the Voyager and hack some of its code.

This took me most of the day but all in all it was totally easy. And now I can listen to Howard yell at BaBa Booey anywhere I go.
