Own branded handsets where popular years ago and then died off but this seems to be changing,at home we have Vodafone for example with their modified ZTE Blade which is called the Smart prime 6, its not their first own handset if you want to call it that..

Now EE have joined  in on the race with a cheap 4G handset touted the Rook. Where they got this from I would like to know but there is some other strange names out there…they have had other cheap own branded devices in the past.Costing just £39 for existing EE customers and £49 for new EE customers.
