Hi,

Well im wanting to get spotify, i currently have a Motorola Milestone but il most likely be getting the Nexus tomorrow. But im wanting to get spotify premium sometime this week what im wondering is does it use a lot of battery? Is it instant music stream offline? No lag no delay? Does anyone else have it?

I'll bullet point this...

Don't bother trying to stream it on 2G
Don't bother trying to stream it on 3G
It works beautifully on HSPA
I would highly recommend setting up some Offline playlists
Streaming will use massive amounts of battery, HSPA itself uses a ton, then carrying the data for long periods of time will only worsen it.
I used to use Spotify Premium and eventually I switched back to raw file downloads on my SD Card, it wasn't really worth the hassle of streaming most of the time.
