If you are a Verizon subscriber, today is the day you can finally enjoy some Windows Phone action. It has been quite a while since the carrier has had any device running Microsoft’s redesigned Windows Phone platform. The HTC trophy was the carrier’s sole WP device that launched May of last year.
Today you can pick up the latest in Windows Phone 8 devices with the 8X or the Lumia 822. The Lumia 822 is more of a mid-level device offering a 4.3inch OLED (non-HD) display, powered by a 1.5GHz dual-core S4 processor, 16GB of storage, and dual cameras (no PureView) for $99.99 on contract.
The HTC 8X offers a more high-end experience with a 4.3inch 720p HD display, powered by a 1.5GHz dual-core S4 processor, 16GB of storage, Beats Audio w/ built-in amplifier, 8MP rear-facing shooter w/ LED flash & 2.1MP front-facing shooter that displays more using an 88-degree wide-angle lens for $199.99 on contract.
