HTC Windows Phone 8X and Nokia Lumia 920 go on pre-order

Best Buy has kicked off pre-orders of the Nokia Lumia 920 and the HTC Windows Phone 8X for AT&T. The Nokia flagship is priced at $149.99 with a two-year commitment, while its Taiwanese counterpart has gone below the three-digit mark at $99.99.

There is no specific information on the shipping dates for the two smartphones - Best Buy has only mentioned that it "will ship when available." We believe that we will find out more about the dates on the Windows Phone 8 event on October 29.

With the HTC Windows Phone 8X and the Nokia Lumia 920 sporting quite similar specifications and a $50 price difference, all signs point at a serious battle for market share shaping up. Microsoft however, won’t mind any of the two devices coming out on top.

Update: Nokia Lumia 920 has been removed from the pre-order page. The HTC Windows Phone 8X however is still available.
