The network has to support Data Sense (I guess it is some sort of compression technology), I do not think EE have this yet as I believe only Verizon support it at the moment.

It's a special proxy web proxy server. Most networks have them already, O2's used to compress all the JPEGs until they looked really ropey.

So these were the guy's I've ordered mine from, not sure how long it will take, i guess I've got 14 days to take the hand set back, I'm sort of assuming that EE is a virtual orange network and I can get an unlock code, It would seem that the white version works on EE,TM & Orange anyway so I have hopes one of them will spit out an unlock code. Really don't want to give it back.
It's debatable: As I understand it, an advert is an 'invitation to treat', i.e. they are inviting you to buy at the advertised price. They don't have to accept your offer. So, if the price is incorrect (genuine mistake) there is nothing in law to force them to sell at that price. However, it's not that simple...
If the price or advert is deliberately misleading then they could be breaking the law and at the very least, trading standards could be involved. If they're advertising for sale something they don't actually have or will get; or do have, but won't sell to you, or they advertise it at a price just to get you interested, to get you into the shop, only to up the price, then I would suggest that could be a case for Trading Standards/the courts.
The problem is proving it and unless the 'deception' was widespread and continuous, probably not worth the effort.
At the end of the day, our best weapon in fights like this, as consumers, is to take our business elsewhere.

There's no such thing as a fixed monthly amount on a contract either, they can hike that up if they want as proven recently.
Wait, they just tweeted: "The superfast @Nokia_UK Lumia 920 is ready to buy online http://ee.co.uk and in store November 10th #4GEE."
So tomorrow.
So tomorrow.

called orange they said policy says I have to use a orange SIM in it for 3 months before they give me an unlock code, stupids, that website below is my only real hope.
Did you ask if you could pay them for an unlock code to unlock it immediately?
Could you get more details on this. PayG sim for 3months then unlock code?
Or what?

yeah, said I'd pay £10 for each top-up on a pay-as-you-go to represent the months and the unlock code but no joy

They said policy was this:
No unlock code unless you have used a orange sim in the phone for 3 months and then pay £20 for the unlock code.
Nice one!
That's a cracking deal and the one I ws about to pull the trigger on before P4U removed the 12 month plans and EE upped the handset costs. 
That's a shame. Were you aware it would be locked? If you weren't made aware of this at point of sale then you should be able to return it surely.
It depends what's in your contract: By now they probably all have clauses that allow them to increase the contract price by a certain %-age without giving you the right to cancel. Isn't it the rate of inflation, or something similar? Above that %-age and you can still walk.
Can the people that have picked up a 'SIM free' handset tell us if there's much branding on them?

Wasn't aware, they said it's sim unlocked and yeah I know i can take it back but if i can get an unlock code, I'd rather do that.
There are quite a few virtual operators using EE network, biggest being Virgin Mobile:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mobile_network_operators_of_Europe#United_Kingdom
So there may be better deals around. I'm always getting letters with deals from Virgin and they're starting to get more competitive.
An example from Virgin:
Mobile SIM Only £12
SIM card cost FREE
Your tariff gives you:
150 minutes
Unlimited texts
Unlimited Mobile Web
12x12 + 459 = £603.

On god I totaly forgot about that.
I was going to get a virgin sim anyway.
Then again don't have the funds to by sim free ATM, well not if I want a tablet. I wish we had a firm release date for surface pro.
And Virgin include tethering and no 12month contract.
