Spotify comes to Nokia 5800 handsets
Spotify is one of the most innovative music applications ever, since its release it has gone on to become a global success with millions of users, and an ever growing database of music. However, the Spotify music service just got a bit better – it’s now available on Symbian, which is about 50 per cent of the global market. Read on after the jump for more details…
Obviously, this is quite a big jump for Spotify, which was previously only available on the iPhone and Android format. Symbian, which is the most used OS on the planet will open up Spotify to literally millions of new mobile users.
According to Spotify, its new mobile music platform will run on a wide-range of mid-to-high end Nokia smartphones, such as the Nokia 6220 Classic, the Nokia E71 and the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic models.
Gustav Söderström, director of portable solutions at Spotify, says: “The launch of Spotify’s Symbian app opens up our mobile music service to potentially millions more music fans across Europe.”
He added: “Many mid to high-end Nokia, Sony Ericsson and Samsung phone owners might be surprised to realise they can run Spotify on their phones. This takes our mobile music offering to a totally new level.”
Additional features of the Spotify app for Symbian include the ability to listen to tracks in Offline mode through playlists, a constantly evolving database of music, as well as the ability to run Spotify in the background whilst you perform other tasks, such as browsing the web, texting, or sending an email.
You can get hold of Spotify for your Symbian device by accessing, m.spotify.com, from your mobile browser. Spotify Mobile is now available to Spotify Premium subscribers in the UK, Spain, France, Sweden, Norway and Finland.
