Verizon puts Windows Phone 8X and Nokia Lumia 822 up for pre-order Nov. 9

Verizon Wireless previously said it would deliver the first of its planned Windows Phone 8 devices by Thanksgiving, and the carrier has just announced that tomorrow it will begin accepting pre-orders for the Windows Phone 8X by HTC and Nokia Lumia 822. The announcement does not add a confirmed delivery date for either handset, but Verizon announced pricing information for both phones last week. The Nokia Lumia 822 will cost $99.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate and the Windows Phone 8X by HTC will cost $199 on a two year agreement.
