Haven't had any issues...

I haven't had any issues with it so far...? hopefully they can fix it for anyone with the bug.

Me neither, with my Nokia 822. It's been a solid performer with no random reboots. I'm guessing most of the issues are with the 920. That's been the biggest seller as the flagship WP8 device. I still think the 822 has a better screen IMO.
