Not too long ago, Nokia and HTC unveiled their new Windows Phone 8 devices, and if you were particularly taken by HTC’s offering, you might be interested to learn that Best Buy has put up the product page for Verizon’s HTC 8X. Unsurprisingly the phone is priced at $199.99, but you will need to get the phone on a new two-year contract with the carrier. The specs of the 8X include a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of storage and will come with wireless charging capabilities, much like Nokia’s Windows Phone offering. Given that Nokia’s specs and HTC’s specs are almost identical, we guess it boils down to a matter of preference in the design, and which camera you think holds up better. Of course this is assuming you get it unlocked as the Nokia Lumia 920 appears to be an AT&T exclusive, at least for the time being. So, who’s getting the HTC 8X?

Will Windows Phone 8 from Microsoft be able to make the splash in the mobile operating system scene that the software giant intended to? Perhaps, or perhaps not – only time will tell, but we do know that the few handsets which carry this operating system are definitely worth checking out based on their system specifications alone. In what appears to be a more recent training document leak from Verizon, it does seem as though the HTC 8X is confirmed to boast wireless charging capability, something that was previously touted to be made available on the Nokia Lumia 920. Clearly, this will help HTC move more handsets in the market when folks who use this as a make-or-break point in their purchase decision where smartphones are concerned.
