Spotify app might make me buy a new smartphone

I like to laugh at iPhone lovers. I get that it’s the world’s most fantastic phone ever in the history of super fantastic phones - really - but it’s hard to mock when Apple fanboys are always whipping it out in the pub to check sports scores or to decide arguments with that smug look on their faces.
My lovely handset (Nokia E71) may not be able to do all that the iPhone can do, but at least it stays in my handbag where it belongs.
I consider that one hell of a feature, and have so far happily resisted upgrading to an iPhone, Android phone or something else similarly app focused.
But all it takes is one. The one.
In my case, it’s Spotify. The idea of having streaming music everywhere I go is enough to make me start looking at G1s and G3Ss, or whatever the things are called these days. I would buy one so I don’t have to buy music. (I’m like that.)
But this is where Apple is being a bit daft. It has yet to approve an app from Spotify - that lovely streaming music service that I would actually die without. (And by die, I mean have slightly less money for beer.)
Meanwhile, phones running Google’s Android can now stream free music everywhere they go.
I get that Spotify could possibly be seen as a competitor to Apple’s iTunes, but unless they approve that app or get their own streaming music, they’re going to lose me to Android… assuming I can be bothered to upgrade, that is.
