The WP8 launch stuff has been barreling forward. There's just been some anger over what transpired with Nokia, but apparently that has been smoothed over. Looks like Verizon will be getting the quadcore Nokia as an exclusive in February or March of next year and is also working on getting the HTC quadcore exclusively too.
Their earnings and subscriber reporting gave them a lot of leverage. But both phones come with guaranteed profitability for HTC and Nokia if they go exclusive - Verizon will guarantee a certain number of handsets sold and will carry insurance to pay out to Nokia and HTC in the off chance they don't reach the goals.
Look for a quad core Lumia with all the 920 features plus increased megapixels from the sensor and microSD support.
Not sure if Quad Core will matter unless the OS or better yet, the Apps take advantage of it. I know it's being said that AT&T has a 6 month exclusive period, so how does that result in Verizon getting a phone in February or March? That would be 4 months up if you get to Mid-March.
