EE will also be the only UK network to offer the exclusive single-tone gold variant of the handset in the UK for an exclusive period of three months.

The HTC One M9 combines a powerful UltraPixel™ front-facing camera with a 20 megapixel camera at the back for ultra sharp photos and videos in any light conditions. It also features the latest HTC Sense™ 7 experience. Highly customisable and intuitive, Sense 7 reinvents the home screen to deliver the most useful apps to the homepage based on location, boasts a more intelligent HTC BlinkFeed™, and with HTC Themes it puts users at the centre of the smartphone experience, intelligently analysing their favourite photos to modify the look and feel of their apps, colour scheme and backgrounds.
Consumer and business customers will be able to purchase the HTC One M9 handset in single-tone gold (gold available exclusively from EE at launch for a three month period), dual-tone silver and rose gold or single-tone gunmetal grey via the EE online shop, EE telesales and EE retail stores from launch.
