London - Hutchison Whampoa's U.K. mobile network operator 3 UK announced on Monday that it will offer the touch-screen HTC Hero smartphone bundled with music streaming service Spotify.

The announcement comes two months after Hutchison Whampoa head Lee Ka-shing made an investment in Spotify.

The Google Android-powered handset bundled with a two-year subscription to Spotify Mobile will be available for an upfront fee of about $162, plus monthly payments that work out to around $57.

The offering is the first mobile bundling deal for Spotify, which counts over 1 million subscribers to its paid service that is currently available in the U.K. and other parts of Europe, but slated to launch in the U.S. yet this year.
