Shazam, the mobile music discovery provider, has announced the release of Shazam on the BlackBerry Storm smartphone.

Shazam, which has supported BlackBerry smartphones since launching on BlackBerry App World on 1 April, is now compatible with the award-winning BlackBerry Storm.

The application features full SurePress touchscreen support and is available to BlackBerry Storm smartphone users in the US, UK and Canada.

“Since launching on BlackBerry this April, we have maintained our status as one of the most frequently downloaded applications on App World,” said Andrew Fisher, CEO at Shazam. “BlackBerry Storm users have voiced their eagerness for Shazam and this type of demand highlights the worldwide popularity Shazam has achieved through our mobile music discovery application. We’re thrilled to continue delivering the applications and features our customers want.”

BlackBerry Storm smartphone users will be able to choose from a free, basic version of Shazam with limited functionality or a full-featured version for $4.99 or £5 (one-off fee depending on location). The full-featured version includes unlimited Tags, Tag charts, recommendations for similar tracks, biographies of artists, reviews of tagged music, discographies and the option to buy and share discovered music. Shazam is currently offering a free, seven-day trial of the full-featured version.
