New partnership brings Spotify to 3 Mobile

Posted: 20 October 2009

One operator announced details of how it will bring a popular music streaming service to its customers.

According to 3 Mobile, the Google Android-powered HTC Hero will be launched on its network next month on a tariff of £35 per month.

For this, subscribers not only get 750 cross-network minutes and unlimited texts, email, browsing, Facebook and Skype, but also full access to the Spotify Premium.

The group explained that this means shoppers can now obtain all the tunes they like on a handset that has won a number of different awards.

Charlotte Blanchard, director of products and services at 3 Mobile, said: "We've built [Spotify] into an attractive, well-priced package with the HTC Hero", adding that in time, the deal would see the product pop up elsewhere - "including mobile broadband".

Another Android device was considered this week by Edward Chester of Trusted Reviews, who explained the Samsung i7500 Galaxy offers a screen that is "super-sharp".
