If you are a Forever Alone dude, then February 14th would most probably pass by you without anything significant
happening. I mean, you need not worry about what kind of gift to purchase for your other half, and neither do you need to stress yourself out with the different kinds of bookings that you need to make for shows, dinner, and perhaps even a hotel room to romance your other half all the way through to the morning. Hey, if you’re cold at night, just turn up the heat or use a hot water bottle, no?
As for the rest of the world who are attached or married, Valentine’s Day could be very stressful, as you have run out of gift ideas after celebrating your 50th anniversary in 2012. Hey, maybe it is time to ditch the traditional flowers and chocolates (although those tend to be classics), and settle for the Nokia Lumia 822. This time around, the Lumia 822 from Verizon will come in a flashy red color, instead of its boring white, black, and grey shades. It is now available for free from Verizon with a two-year contract, now how about that for a steal?

Sure, the holiday season might be over, and wearing red might not be the hottest color at parties, but this does not mean you cannot be prepared for this coming Valentine’s Day. In fact, Verizon Wireless is said to be preparing the world to usher in February 14th with a couple of released devices that will come in (hopefully) a more desirable color – namely, red. Yes sir, Verizon wants you to paint the town red and up the feeling of love this Valentine’s by making available a couple of limited edition handsets, covering ground with Android and Windows Phone 8 in the form of the Motorola Droid RAZR M and the Nokia Lumia 822, where the former comes in pink, while the latter drips in red. They should arrive in time for Valentine’s Day for under the $50 mark with a 2-year contract if you are interested. Still, I suspect that your girl might prefer a diamond compared to a red or pink smartphone…
If you have been following the news closely, then you would know that the Nokia Lumia 822 remains a Verizon exclusive, and it is very similar when you compare it to the mid-range Nokia Lumia 820. Just what kind of subtle differences does it come with? For starters, it will have a slightly larger battery as well as a better quality front-facing camera for all of your narcissistic folks out there.
With the release of Windows Phone 8 and the pretty impressive devices accompanying it, we aren’t too surprised to learn that many people around us are starting to find Microsoft’s Windows Phone platform a viable alternative to the sea of iOS and Android devices out there. That being said, if you were thinking about hopping aboard the Windows Phone bandwagon too, you might be interested to learn that the HTC 8X and the Nokia Lumia 822 have been listed by Verizon as shipping as soon as tomorrow, the 13th of November. For those wondering, the 
Verizon does seem to be doing its bit to bring more Windows Phone 8 goodness to the masses, and it does seem as though the Lumia 822 and HTC 8X with the latter coming in a shade of California Blue is set for a release this coming November 8th from the wireless carrier. Both smartphones can be spotted in the leaked photo above, where they carry Verizon’s logo and name. One has to bear in mind that the Nokia Lumia 822 is definitely a Verizon exclusive, so it is a given.
The Verizon Lumia 822 (all right, so it is not formally known as the Lumia 822, but generally, the tech community has taken the liberty to call the handset just that) is a variant of the Lumia 820 from Nokia, and word on the street has it that the Lumia 822 will retail for approximately $50 as long as you decide to sign up with a mobile carrier. Whispers on the street include 16GB of internal memory, although you can further augment that with a microSD memory card slot, nothing too far off from the global version of the Nokia Lumia 820 actually. Not only that, the Verizon Lumia 822 is also said to deliver wireless charging support.
