The promise of a streaming, wireless music discovery service on BlackBerry sounds nearly too good to be true. The platform isn’t exactly renown for its multimedia flashiness (although it’s no slouch), so when nuTsie released its BlackBerry application about a year ago, I was extremely intrigued. This was something I would expect from Windows Mobile, or even on the iPhone if Apple ever felt like expanding iTunes, expecially considering nuTsie worked so closely with iTunes to bring your playlists to your phone as well as play nuTsie picks in your iTunes.
The social element is really what caught my eye about nuTsie – a simple slider determined how much of your music was generated as suggestions, a Grab It button let you easily save new stuff for later, a wide variety of Top 100 lists helped you get your groove on in any genre right off the bat, and playlist sharing allowed you to see what your friends were listening to. Overall an impressive web service, but I really wanted to see how it translated to mobile.

Pros
Discover new tunes while on the go
Carries over to web app nicely
Clean interface
Cons
Iffy music quality and stability
Poor iTunes syncing
No shortcut keys
Verdict
nuTsie for BlackBerry is a great way for discovering new music and quickly switching moods while on the move, but don’t expect it to replace a locally-stored music library. The iTunes syncing isn’t all it’s cracked up to be and music quality can be spotty, but it’s still worth your while to get some new music into the shuffle.
