Well, after listening for about a month, I can now honestly say that Slacker just blows Pandora away. I'm getting a LOT more new music off of Slacker than I did with Pandora, and it's more geared to what I like and not so many klinkers. The added bonus of being able to either ban a song or an ENTIRE artist helps tremendously in shaping my station, and just because I "love" a song or artist doesn't mean that's all I hear, which is what annoyed me about Pandora. Plus, there is the ability to "cache" a station into your Blackberry or smartphone for playback when there's no service and it helps save the battery too. Good stuff, just wanted to add to my initial review.
