Spotify Mobile for Symbian Phones Now Available

Windows Mobile and Blackberry phones are now the only mobile phone platforms that can’t use Spotify, as Spotify Mobilehas just announced support for Symbian phones. The world’s most popular streaming music service has been available on Android devices and iPhones up to now. If you are not a Spotify member, you will have to wait for an invite, as that is the only way to get in right now. You need to be a Premium member (£10 per month in the UK) to use Spotify Mobile. Although some innovative carriers are starting to offer pre-paid premium memberships as part of their contract pacakges.

Symbian is the OS for 50 percent of the world’s cell phones, including Nokia. Samsung and Sony-Ericsson handsets. A few of the popular Symbian phones are the Nokia E71, 6220 Classic, 5800 XpressMusic, Sony Ericsson Satio and Samsung GT-I8910 Omnia HD models. A list of supported Symbian devices is here.

Spotify currently is only available in Sweden, Norway, Finland, Britain, France and Spain due to copyright issues still being ironed out elsewhere.
