The article on Neowin was written with information from Nokia and EE. Pretty definitive for me.
Just like EE definitively told CNET that it will work on T-Mobile & Orange sims, which Nokia has also been tweeting all week?
The confusion is that EE is the 4G brand and it's the company which owns the T-Mobile, Orange and EE brands in the UK. EE is not EE, just like T-Mobile is not EE (as @EE on Twitter rudely informed me) but it is EE (as T-Mobile have been telling us since the announcement of 4GEE) and so on. It seems that it is exclusive to EE, but it works on T-Mobile & Orange sims because EE's network is the unified T-Mobile & Orange network which customers have been using for most of the year.
Phones4u are advertising and selling it for TMobile & Orange contracts in stores and their support staff have had firm confirmation that this is correct. If they are wrong then they're liable to be sued for false advertising.
EDIT: Actually that wasn't the NeoWin article I thought it was. I assumed it was one declaring EE told them it wasn't available on any other provider ever, but was actually one agreeing with what I was saying:
How much will the Lumia 920 cost on a 3G tariff?
Customers on Orange will be able to purchase the device for ?49.99 upfront on the Panther Extra plan at ?36 per month; T-Mobile customers can get one for ?49.00 upfront on the ?36pm Full Monty tariff. T-Mobile’s Full Monty tariff also include unlimited data. Other price plans are available on both carriers; upfront device charges may vary.
