If you live in the UK, and if you’ve been desperate to check your MySpace account while you’re out and about, you’ll be relieved to hear that MySpace and Vodaphone are teaming up to bring you a mobile version of MySpace.

Will MySpace fit on your mobile – yes!

The exclusive partnership will allow Vodafone’s UK customers to access MySpace Mobile, which will allow them to edit their own MySpace profiles, find and add friends, post photos and blogs and send and receive MySpace messages while on the move.

MySpace Mobile will be pre-loaded on future, select Vodafone handsets, and it will also be available for download from Vodafone live!. It will be launched in the UK in the first half of 2007.

As you’d expect, executives at both MySpace and Vodaphone, are hyping the deal:

“This partnership brings together the world’s number one lifestyle portal and the world’s leading mobile operator,” said Colin Digiaro, Senior Vice President, Corporate Development, International, MySpace.

“Millions of people use MySpace as their primary means of communicating with family and friends, so it’s vital we make this available on the move. Whether it’s adding new friends, sending messages, or uploading photos, the ability to access MySpace functionality from your mobile adds a new dimension to the experience.”

“Today’s announcement is a great example of Vodafone empowering its customers with new, internet-based services on their Vodafone live! handsets, helping people make the most of their time,” said Frank H. Rövekamp, Global Chief Marketing Officer, Vodafone.

“Teaming up with the world’s leading online community means that people can take the MySpace experience anywhere and enjoy it anytime.”

Mobile versions of MySpace are already available in the US through Helio and Cingular.
