Slacker is making its personalized radio service available to Blackberry mobile phones, under a deal struck with manufacturer Research In Motion.

The pact gives Blackberry devices much the same functionality as any other Slacker-made unit, meaning it can stream more then 100 Slacker radio channels when in wireless coverage or cache playlists for consumption when out of coverage. Both the free and premium Slacker plans are available from the device.
