eBay lists AT&T Windows Phone 8 devices with November 9th release, confirms low pricing

Proficient news for those on AT&T eagerly awaiting the Nokia Lumia 920 or HTC 8X as eBay/Best Purchase take the devices listed with pricing and "expected availability" date. And yep, you can now order them too.

The new appointment is November 9^thursday, which fits in the idea that AT&T is really scrambling to get these phones out the door. Originally nosotros heard early Nov so later November 4^th. News came forrard recently that it had been pushed back and seeing as AT&T did non reveal whatever information at Monday's result, it fabricated sense that this was in "motion".

Of course since AT&T has still non officially announced pricing and availability, all of this is bailiwick to change.

On the pricing forepart there are a few interesting tidbits. For one, the option of 8GB or 16GB versions of the HTC 8X is confirmed with the erstwhile fetching for $99 and the 16GB variant going for an extra $50 at $149.99. The bad news is at that place are only two colors: California Bluish at 16GB and Limelight Yellow for the 8GB version, also confirming that Verizon has an "sectional" on the Cherry-red HTC 8X.

Probably the best news is saved for the Nokia Lumia 920, which is available in five colors: Cyan, Yellow, Cherry-red, White and Blackness. For those of yous like matte colors, you'll want to opt for Cyan and Black. The pricing though is now confirmed at a very reasonable $150 for the top-tier device on contract.

United nations-activated/no contract pricing for the Lumia 920 is $599. The 16GB HTC 8x meanwhile is more than, sitting at $649.99 and the 8GB matching the 920 at $599. Seeing every bit the Lumia 920 comes with a full 32GB of storage, larger screen and that PureView photographic camera, the fiscal incentive is to go with that phone over the HTC 8X—even on contract. Even so, the decision for many will depend on preference and both phones hold their own.

And yes, our review of the AT&T Lumia 920 is forthcoming. Sit tight.

Update 2: Ebay has put the site under maintenance. Nosotros're not sure if they put these up also early on, didn't want people using a coupon or just normal fixes. We'll keep you lot posted.

Update 3: eBay/Best Buy is back up but alas, while the HTC 8X is all the same there for ordering, the Lumia 920 is not. Nosotros placed our gild for one likewise, simply no word if deliveries will still be honored for that "expected" engagement. Seeing as that wording is ambiguous, we're not betting on it.
