There's a guy on here that works for Verizon and he has said Verizon should have WP8 devices.
Midrange HTC WP8 is all but confirmed. Looks like the Incredible 4G/One S.
To be honest, if that is all Verizon is going to have I won't be a WP8 user. I really want something with a 4.7 inch screen, preferably made by Nokia. If it seems like Verizon will get a pureview I will probably wait for that. I'm not locked into Nokia, but I'm not going to get a phone with a 4 inch screen. Hopefully something I like will come to Verizon before Christmas.
I used AT&T for years, but recently moved to a new house in a horrible deadspot, and the Microcell barely worked. After a few months battling AT&T (they even sent someone out to inspect the cell towers,) they let me out of my contract with no ETF, and I ported to Verizon. I ended up buying a trophy off Craigslist because I didn't want to use my discounted device on the Trophy because at the time a Nokia WP7 device was supposed to hit January 2012, but it was cancelled. An insider I know tipped me off on the Nokia/VZW device, so I waited patiently and then it was cancelled.
Needless to say, I FREAKING hate the Trophy at this point. It's slow/incredibly outdated from a hardware perspective.
My same insider contact has given me good news about upcoming devices for Verizon, but I won't get excited until it's officially unveiled.
I was told MONTHS ago (well before the event was reported) that Nokia would LAUNCH a WP8 device for Verizon on September 5th; however, as time progressed, it became clear that it would be unveiled on September 5, not launched. What I am hearing is it will launch second week of November... which is disappointing. I'm not sure I can wait that long. Hopefully it comes out earlier. I think they are unveiling phones early, so they can be included in holiday gift guides, etc. All that stuff is completed early fall.And may I ask what your contact has shared with you? I'm in a similar situation as you are in and am waiting (impatiently) for the WP8's to arrive at Verizon.

I get better coverage with Verizon so I won't be switching. I like nice phones, but being able to use them is more important.
We are for sure getting a Nokia but the only one I've heard about in detail is the "Trophy 2." But they're saying that VZW is moving away from the iPhone (due to subsidies) and we've publically stated that we're going WP not BlackBerry so honestly I would expect at least 3 WPs from us.
Also, I love my Trophy. It runs better than any Droid we sell. Hence why I still have it.
