Windows phone reboots on Telenor network

Normally I am happy with my Windows phone. I have the Nokia 920, and have been using it for almost a year. But for the 3-4 months it have restarted itself every now and then, lately it have done this several times each day. After my trip to New Orleans, I discovered that it did not restart at all, but it only used 3G instead off 4G. Arriving back in Norway the phone began to restart again. I changed the setting too only use 3G and now it is stabile again. After talking to a friend with right connections about this, he could confirm that there is a bug at Telenor that causes this to happen when using 4G. There will be a fix for this, hopefully soon, but for now, I just use the 3G. Slower but better than a restarting phone. The problem is not related to Nokia phones, so I have seen this problem on other phones too.

Window Phone 8 and data encryption?

I am a happy user of my Samsung Omni 7, e specially after the Mango update and Spotify got available. It is actually the smart phone I have had for the longest period (about 18 months, and no immediate plan to replace it). It's robust and stabile. But basically a phone is just a tool to communicate, and I have never been that interested in phones as long as I can call and have descent Exchange functionality. But, as things comes together it looks like the new Windows Phone 8 will run Windows 8 core and have cool features like Bitlocker.
