Quote from: Dewey;294638I'm also looking at phones, all my friends have iPhones which are cool but I've been looking into Hero and it also seems to offer similar and in some cases better solutions (I particularly like how it organises a contacts email, twitter, facebook etc in one place - a bit like a CRM).

However the true kill app for me is Spotify for the iphone - is this available on the Hero? The ability to listen to free music in my car etc is awsome.

There's a spotify app for the hero. I've seen it in the app store. You have to have a premium service on spotify. This seems to show it in action/

'3' are about to announce the Hero with a premium Spotify account thrown in.

I'll see if I can find the link.

With T-Mobile I'm on 18 month contract Ã,£32pm, phone is free but no spotify.

Quick maths says I save Ã,£20 per month over the course of my contract (including saving the 6 months at the end).

Premium is only Ã,£9.99, so I'm better off this way.

Even if you just factor in the Ã,£3 and the phone cost you only just break even over the 24 month contract.

A deal that only really works if you are with 3 already and would be getting spotify premium anyway.

Still buy the phone anyway on whichever network because it's great.
