sorry if this has already been discussed but I am seriously thinking about getting a sling box. I would like to view it from my cell phone as opposed to a lap top computer. I currently use Verizon as my cell phone carrier. Can anyone suggest a verizon phone that would work well for this use, or should I switch to another carrier. Thanks in advance for the help.

I don't know Verizon phones but anything that runs the Windows Mobile OS should be able to use Slingplayer mobile. I use it on my Samsung BlackJack II, which is an older phone. Of course a data plan is required.

It also worked well on a Palm Treo 755 with Sprint

www.slingcommunity.com is the best place to find out those kind of questions.

With the Palm Pre getting Flash 10.1 next month, the Sling.com site should work.
I can hardly wait, I miss Sling.

I use the Blackberry Tour. However, the only blackberries that are officially supported are from At&t and support wi-fi. Nevertheless, crackberry and the sling community have the download links that make it work without going through the website. I use the Bold software on my tour. It is the .11 version, but the .20 version works as well.

It works beautifully in 3g areas. I enjoy it immensely. I have never been able to get it to switch to audio only without locking up the player. The quality is better than I expected.

It does use the battery up at a good clip though.

I use a HTC Touch Pro 2 on Verizon's network and it works great. :)

Dittos! I use the Slingbox app for Windows mobile on a HTC TP2, also. Works great! Something that actually works for a change!:D

Us poor Android users are getting the shaft so far. I heard Sling isn't gonna do anything about it either...
