I would consider a Lumia. But I'd also wait until it became clear that I'd get coverage from EE's new LTE network. It could be that by the time LTE coverage comes to the areas I live and work, the Lumia is old news.
Anyway, I've assumed the brace position. Waiting for the LTE hit.
O2, Vodafone and 3 cannot be happy about EE's head start on LTE in the U.K. But would any of them really opt to disrupt the whole U.K. next-gen mobile market by tying things up in the courts? They really wouldn't look good if they were seen to be the ones delaying Britain getting 4G.
Besides, O2 and Vodafone each have 900MHz spectrum that they could use for LTE if they wanted to. Why don't they go for that? What's the network equipment and device support like for LTE at 900 these days? Nokia's latest Lumia (the 920) supports it, so there's one, anyway.
