Verizon to open preorders for Windows Phone 8 devices

Why, looky here… Verizon just updated its blog post with preorder information for the Windows Phone 8X by HTC and the Nokia Lumia 822.

The Windows Phone 8X by HTC and the Nokia Lumia 822 will be available for pre-order starting tomorrow, November 9, at 1am ET

(The third WP8 device, Samsung’s ATIV Odyssey, won’t be available until December.)

These are very nice-looking devices. And it’s a huge move that Verizon is finally supporting Windows Phone. Currently it offers only the generic and somewhat sad HTC Trophy.

This is an especially big deal for me, as my home and office have literally no coverage from AT&T and T-Mobile. Verizon, on the other hand, has a strong signal, and claims to have solid 4G LTE coverage in my neighborhood.
