4G coming to the UK courtesy of Everything Everywhere?

What on earth is Everything Everywhere? It’s the joint T-Mobile and Orange network in the UK. I’ve been with their network since T-Mobile was one of the only companies at the time to have the Nokia N97 and for better or worse, I’ve stuck it out (previously, I’ve been BT-Cellnet which changed name to O2).

I’m looking forward to 4G speeds here because Nokia already has a 4G handset (though UK variants are not 4G).

However, both T-Mobile and Orange UK seem to be very slow in picking up Nokia handsets, with only the 610 and 800 in stores from the WP line up. I’m actually shocked at the tiny amount of Nokia handsets available. Where are Ashas? T-Mob does have the only Symbian, Nokia 700.

Vodafone apparently complained that this was a terrible blow to the competition.

I’m actually due an upgrade already for my T-Mobile contract, but my decision where to go next isn’t helped by the news of 4G, but more on what handsets will be available in September on the UK networks. Many, as you expect, will also be getting new phones around that time. The clock is ticking.
