Three has Sony Vivaz HD Recording Phone – Spotify Preloaded but no Membership

The Sony Ericsson Vivaz has landed at the 3 store and with the promised Spotify.

Three has included the Spotify Symbian app all preloaded for you but Premium membership will come out of your own pocketses.

Yup, a bit of a kick in the teeth if you were expecting a similar deal to the HTC Hero 3 tariff that included Spotify Premium membership – that way you could stream just about any song you liked to your phone on demand. Loverly!

Three has the Sony Ericsson Vivaz on Pay As You Go for £349.99 or, if you sign up for a two year pay £35 monthly deal, you get the 8MP phone for free with unlimited data and texts, and 750 minutes of calls.

Looking to use Spotify on your new Sony Ericsson Vivaz? You’re looking at another £9.99 per month – let’s call it £45 per month all in for cash yeah? Errr. No.

What do you think to Three’s ‘offer’?

Let me know.
