It seems everyone wants a piece of the HTC buzz at the moment and 3 Mobile is the latest group to get on board by releasing the brilliant HTC Hero handset on its network.

 

And this could be the best deal yet for the popular Android phone. 3 is bundling the Hero with a Spotify Premium account for the 24-month length of the contract. The handset will cost £99 up-front and £35-a-month.

Two years of Spotify will cost £9.99-a-month on iPhone and other Android phones with different networks, so 3 UK customers are in line to save £140, when the cost of the handset is offset. For unlimited music and offline playlists, that's quite a proposition.

 

3 Mobile joins Orange and T-Mobile as custodians of the Android handset that scooped both the Phone of the Year and Gadget of the Year at last month's T3 Gadget Awards.
