Just spoke to Verizon rep, release dates inside...

[fierywater]

Is there $100 worth of more features and performance from the 820 to 822? I think not.

The Verizon network is $100 better in many places in the U.S.

Dates! Yay!

Now I just hope we see some black friday discounts....very disappointed to think that I'll have to pay $100 more for the 8X vs a 920.

Correction its 11/8 for the preorder of both the htc 8x and nokia 822. And our vzw agent portal has the accord listed aka 8x. We got our posters in today its 8x accord is just model label or whatever. 11/15 is the launch.

Somebody else on here related to Verizon says the 8X is coming the 21st. Is the 15th official?

The 21st is false. Verizon always launches new phones on a Thursday

If tomorrow is the preorder date it should show up in our corporate portal to preorder then. Here's hoping.

That is correct. Launch is 15th.

 

[thatotherdude24]

That is correct. Launch is 15th.

How certain are you on this? And how did you find this out?

 

[fatrat727]

Its in the agent portal for vzw. Its a tab called infocenter that gives us lastest info on everything. And I just had my coworker go into the portal to be a witness. Also i will note for the launch date which states the 15th that means on the 16th my stores should be getting them. I wouldn't lie because i also want an 8X. 1am the preorders are suppose to start.

 

[cooperma]

Preorders start tonight at 1am est? or on the 15th???

 

[fatrat727]

On the 13th i will guess it will be a formal announcement from us on the 8X and DNA. More on the DNA since the 8X has been announced more than once.

 

[fatrat727]

1am est tonight!

 

[cooperma]

1am est tonight!

Any links?? how will we find out? Doesn't that mean something will be announced today?

 

[cooperma]

Also, if you preorder the phone, can you set it to bill your account still?

 

[tsquare2112]

To clarify, are you saying (based on the info you have now) that next Thursday, the 15th, we should be able to walk into a Verizon store and buy an 8X? Is this going to be available in Blue only at launch, or will all colors be available?

Thanks.

 

[fatrat727]

Also i will note two weeks ago our corporate regional manager took training on wp8

 

[fatrat727]

Should be all colors but yellow. I going based off our poster which has a black 8X not blue. So i could be wrong. But 15th in corporate 16th for indirect channels like me. Our phone orders are wens and sunday. Delivery on tues and fri. Based off all info. If i could i would post a pic of the dates.

 

[cooperma]

will there be an announcement about the pre orders before tonight? Can we call VZW on the phone and preorder?

Black and red are the only colors Verizon is getting.

 

[cooperma]

edit:

WPC has shown pics of training with the Verizon California Blue...
