At present the EE is only on 1800mhz so will have no indoor benifit over 3g 2100mhz
I see this all as hype until we see 4g on 800mhz for all networks the indoor benifit will not be seen. in fact 3g900mhz o2 use will be better indoors just slower than 4g 1800mhz.
Just my take on this.

If it's anything like the trial for O2 Connect it's probably 12 months away.

From the conversation I had with an O2 tech help person the other week O2 are holding as much money back as possible ready to bid in the 4G auction, this is why O2 isnt offering piggy backed BT fibre optic home broadband, they wont release the money for it.

I'm sure that's wrong.
Depending on who tells the story, O2 spend between £1million and £1.5million each and every day on infrastructure improvements.

Hands up here who has a 4G capable handset? (And that doesn't include iPhone either).

On a sidenote, I did receive a HSPA+ signal whilst in Edinburgh which means they must be experimenting with faster speeds.

I'm waiting for the squeals from those buying phones now only to find out that they won't work on 4G.
I also think there will be premium tariffs for this service only.

I don't think even if you imported an expensive 4G capable handset from the States it would work. :mantongue:
