3 UK to Launch HTC Hero with Spotify Premium on Board HTC Hero Android Phone to Arrive with Spotify Music Services Soon

Until a few weeks ago, the HTC Hero was my favorite Android phone out
there. In the mean time we know that there at least three Android phones
that promise to be a lot better than the Hero. These are the Acer Liquid
A1, the HTC Dragon and the Motorola Droid.

On the other hand, none of these three new phones are here yet so
getting an HTC Hero in the mean time sounds like a very good idea. So if
you happen to live in the UK then you ll be happy to know 3 UK is
getting ready to bring the phone to its customers.

We don t have the exact arrival dates so far but you can always check
with 3 s customer service in order to find everything out. But we do
have some prices for you. In case you re willing to sign-up for a pound
sterling35 (about $57) per month contract over the next 2-years then
you ll be able to walk out of a 3 store with a pound sterling99.99 (or
about 162) Hero in your hand.

In case you choose such a plan then you re also going to get a 2-year
Spotify Premium subscription worth pound sterling240 (about $393) which
should deliver all the music you want to your brand new HTC Hero Android
phone. And you ll also be able to use the unlimited music service on
your computer for the same period of time. Here s what you can expect
from Spotify Premium:
Virtually instant music streaming, with no advertising between tracks.
Offline access to playlists that you ve saved on your mobile or
laptop. You don t need a network connection to enjoy your music, so you
can listen everywhere " even on the tube.
Plus, exclusive access to pre-releases, concert ticket lotteries and
VIP competitions.

Spotify is becoming more and more popular and we should see the service
bundled with other mobile platforms. In fact, considering that 3 s
owner, Hutchinson Whampoa, is also an investor in Spotify, we can assume
that other future smartphones coming from 3 will be bundled with Spotify
Premium subscription soon. What do you say folks? Anyone interested in
this HTC Hero and Spotify Premium bundle?
