Which version of 8 will my 920 have?

[CaptainLumia]

I'm going to buy a 920 RM-820 (AT&T branded, but unlocked). Which flavor of 8 will I get? Will I have the swipe to text feature? Pretty much the most important update I've seen on any Lumia... I'm a light user. I need the 920 to bridge me between my broken 640 XL and the Cityman.

Depending on whether or not the device is used it could have either 8 or 8.1

8.1 is the update that brought the swipe to text feature to the keyboard.

If your 920 does arrive with 8 it shouldn't matter much because you'll easily be able to update it to 8.1

Thank you!

Device is slated as new, I'm MORE than familiar with upgrading Lumia OS software, I feel like I've done it 100 times now...
