Can you reasonably listen to the "high quality" 128k streams? If so, then this is will be my i730's killer app.

Thanks!!

P.S. And I realize that 128k is not "high quality" audio as far as "high quality" audio goes. All is relative.
Here in Syracuse, I can stream 128 all day on EVDO using any of the streaming programs (PocketPlayer, Pocket music, Resco Radio) without a single pause to buffer.

On my 1X Verizon Treo 650 I get heavy buffering every few minutes or so , but I guess thats to be expected.

There is a HUGE difference between 1X and EVDO.

BTW I really like Resco Radio as well, Great app (the auto EVDO connection and simple interface sold me as well)
