Lumia 1020 on Vodafone 4G? (UK)

[Owen Stevens]

Evening all,

Just a quick question for you LTE Frequency nerds out there:

I've got a Lumia 920, which is working lovely on Vodafone's new 4G service here in the UK.

I've been waiting and waiting for the 1020, and I'm getting really excited about owning one, so I very nearly picked up an unlocked on on eBay from the US.


I understand, however that the Vodafone 4G runs on the 900Mhz frequency, and this isn't compatible with all LTE/4G phones.
on the Nokia website it lists not LTE frequencies (800Mhz, 1200Mhz, 1800Mhz etc), but LTE channels (1,3, 8, 20 etc)
Is there anyone who knows definitively if a US bought, unlocked, Lumia 1020 will work on Vodafone's UK 900Mhz LTE/4G frequency like my 920 does?

Thanks all!

Owen

Tip - Don't buy it from USA, if you have warranty issues it'll be a 'big' hiccup to deal with.
