Sirius / Sprint Debuts
Sprint PCS Vision subscribers can now access the 20 music channels provided by Sirius Satellite Radio. Which is pretty cool... I guess. But with Sprint PCS Vision costing something like $10/month, it's only something that will attract Sextel subscribers who want to show off to their friends - you won't really attract the core satellite radio audience to this service (and I don't think it's meant to).
You have to wonder about the sound quality though, I don't have Sprint PCS Vision, but I have yet to hear any good sounding phones. And considering the Sprint/Sirius deal is the reason for the whole censorship issue, I'm not sure if they're going to attract more customers than they've pissed off.
UPDATE: I'm told that the Sirius content is available for an additional $6.95/month. Does anyone have any reports on the sound quality?

When talking about quality its important to list your phone, and type of service. I have sprint power vision, and a razor k3m. The sound quality is damn good, I was very impressed. I'm probably going to buy a car adapter now to listen to xm through my cellphone, no lie.
