EE preparing to launch an own-brand LTE handset

Just because the data costs come at a premium doesn’t mean the accompanying 4G-ready mobile hardware has to, too. It appears EE is looking to use this principle to attract further customers to its super-fast network, with Engadget reporting that the network has its own cheap-as-chips LTE handset waiting in the wings. The site has got hold of an image reportedly of the EE smartphone, revealing it to be an Android device with a light EE-reskin theme laid over standard Android.
