Order now. Verizon has free overnight shipping. Would get it tomorrow.
I think I might. I went to an AT&T store and played with the phones today... I have to say the 8x is not so pretty in person.

Did they have the 820? If so, how was the screen?

It still says will ship by the 13, so I think it will ship tommorow and we will all get them Wednesday, no?
Its 2 day shipping so we get them Thursday.
As the OP in your quote did, I also when to an AT&T store and compared the 820 to the 8X. This is what made me decide to switch, on top of the few problems that have been reported with reception and battery. Plus, the Nokia apps (which I've never been able to play with before) were pretty fun.
The 820's screen, though not as high of resolution as I'd like, is absolutely vibrant when compared to the 8X. Looking at the 8X with the 820 next to it, with the same theme and apps running, there's no comparison. The 8X looks washed out and the 820 pops. Very vibrant.
Some display enthusiasts may say that it is over saturated, but I personally think it just adds to the wow and pop factor of the phone. Immediately after this, I went home, cancelled my preorder on the 8X and ordered the 822. I know I'll be very happy with this phone until the next "amazing" WP8 phone comes along.
Something was wrong then because the 8X screen is better looking in every way. Also, my 8X has great reception.
Will the 822's unlocked price come down on Black Friday? I was thinking about buying it unlocked and then waiting until Feb/March to see if Verizon will get a higher end Nokia and then I can just extend my 2 year contract then.
Maybe its the Clear Black tech working in the sunlight? In my poorly lit training room the 8X is a bit easier on the eyes, but I agree it Gets stomped out in the sun. My Intuitions screen is impossible to use in the sun.I saw the same thing he did when I visited AT&T. The 820's display was more vibrant. Granted, the store had plenty of windows so the room was well lit, but it seems like the 8X washes out in the light. I think it has a lot to due with the AMOLED display. The LCD screen on the 8X just doesn't look as good to me. Still a nice phone, but the 820's AMOLED screen looked better.
Some exciting news for Verizon customers, 100% 3G/4G overlap is being bumped up to June 2013. I doubt we'll see any new markets pop up in 2013 until some glorious day in June when we kick on 4G nationwide. Then everyone who got a free iPhone 4 will be pissed.
