Hi

I am considering upgrading from my Lumia 800 to a Lumia 920 to get the Windows 8 software, as I need to upgrade a client website to Win 8 soon and need to get used to it. If I buy a sim-free Lumia 920 it will be a 4g phone - will it riun niormally on O2 on 3G until they upgrade to 4G next year? Is there any downside to upgrading to a 4G phone ahead of their network upgrade? And will I auotomatically get the 4G service when they introduce it or will I have to select a new tariff?

Turn 4G off in settings as it will be constantly searching for a 4G signal and will drain the battery faster than Schumaker down the back straight at Imola !!
I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.
