Napster Mobile comes to select AT&T handsets

By Tim Conneally | Published October 30, 2008, 7:25 PM

Today, AT&T and Napster announced that more than 13 million AT&T customers spanning 25 different model phones now have access to Napster Mobile.

Owners of six different BlackBerries, including the Curve and the controversial Bold, the AT&T Quickfire, Samsung's Access and Matrix, and many more can now enter the "AT&T Music" menu under "Shop Music," and access Napster Mobile along with eMusic Mobile. The only other U.S. cellular carrier that supports Napster Mobile is CellularONE.

Napster Mobile allows individual tracks to be downloaded directly to the phone for $1.99 each, and includes a copy that is sent to the user's PC. A limited subscription service is also available for $7.49 per month that allows five songs to be downloaded per month, with charges going directly on the wireless bill.
