Comes with Spotify

Another week, another Spotify business model, this time a bundled subscription to Spotify’s premium service on HTC’s Hero Android Smartphone which is available on the UK’s 3 network. For a £35 a month tariff, plus a £99 fee (similar to iPhone pricing), users get two years of Spotify’s premium service included in the deal.

They may have their work cut out after leaked figures emerged for Nokia’s similar ‘Comes with Music’ service indicating they had only signed up 107,000 customers since their January launch, albeit on a less impressive handset.
