Ok I have good and bad news. Bad news first - The Sirius stream is in fact WMA.

Good news - In the 2006 update Nokia added support for the WMA codec which means we will be able to stream sirius :-)

Now if only they could get OGG support out of the box

I honestly don't know why it doesn't work. Someone may need to create a program like SiruCE (PPC). Shouldn't be too difficult.

I just tried logging on to my XM Online thru minixm.com, which is a third-party site that works great with Windows Mobile devices. The website loaded and I could logon to my account, but once it started to stream, the 770 popped up a dialog box asking if I wanted to "Save" the file, because there were no programs to open it. Sirius is probably the same way...

I think the reason it doesn't work is because it's an .ASX file...if I'm not mistaken, those are a different type of Windows Streaming Media than .WMA or .WMV

I was really hoping it would work, maybe it still will in the future...

Well yeah, your 770 becomes a satellite radio, sorta.

Has anyone tried using the 770 to listen to music with Pandora.com? I've gotten addicted to pandora and it would be one more great reason to buy the 770.

(For those of you who don't know, Pandora is a website where you can put in the name of an artist or song and it will create a customized "radio station" that streams music that has similar musical characteristics to the artist you inputted)

I'm thinking I probably won't pick up a 770 until the christmas season...can't justify the expense to myself just yet. But then...perfect time for a new toy!

Pandora.com looks real cool. Too bad it runs on Flash 8. Won't work on the 770, it stops halfway through loading.
