Hasta La Gadget!

AT&T and T-Mobile have already pulled back the curtains (well, mostly) on their stock of Nokia Lumia Windows Phones, but rival carrier Verizon has remained awfully quiet on the matter. That may soon change though, as a pair of newly leaked images point to the existence of a Lumia 820 variant meant for Verizon’s airwaves.

As you’d expect, the device — which WMPowerUser’s tipster refers to as the Lumia 822 — reportedly packs the same WVGA display and 8-megapixel rear camera that its cousin the 820 does, and there’s a strong chance that internals remain similarly unchanged. That tell-tale stamp on the 822’s butt means the device is also meant to play nice with Verizon’s 4G LTE network as well, though that’s really not much of a surprise.

Nokia has clearly taken some liberties with regard to industrial design here, as the 822 appears to be a much rounder affair and the other 800 series Windows Phones the Finnish company has signed off on. Thankfully, it doesn’t seem quite as thick as the downright brick-like Lumia 810 that T-Mobile recently laid claim to. It’s also worth noting that the model number attached to the device seems like a peculiar choice for a Lumia, but it’s not like Nokia doesn’t throw the occasional numerical curveball.

Perhaps naturally, this is isn’t the first time Verizon’s Lumia has been spotted. This whole sordid turn of events began earlier this week, when the notorious leaker(s) behind the @evleaks Twitter account distributed a render of the Verizon-bound Windows Phone (codenamed “Atlas”) for all to see, and it just so happens these new leaked photos match up quite nicely. Of course, a render can only tell you so much. Hell, even with these new images to consider, a number of the Lumia 822’s particulars still can’t be discern with any real degree of certainty. For now we’ll just have to wait until Verizon comes clean on this little guy’s existence — or for some new leaks to blow everything wide open.

So we know that the Nokia Lumia 810 will be headed T-Mobile’s way which is basically the carrier’s variant of the Lumia 820, but will they be the only carrier to feature the phone? Well thanks to @evleaks, it looks like Verizon’s version of the Lumia 820 has been revealed. Pictured above is the Nokia “Atlas”, which according to previously leaked information suggests that this could be the Lumia 822 for Verizon. This obviously does not look anything like the Lumia 820, nor T-Mobile’s 810 but we guess that’s to be expected. No word on the specs of the Nokia “Atlas”, but if this is the Lumia 820, we expect that it will feature the same 4.3” ClearBlack display, an 8MP Carl Zeiss camera alongside a 1,800mAh battery. The announcement for the Nokia “Atlas”/Lumia 822 for Verizon is expected to be made in the next few days, so if you’re a Verizon subscriber and wouldn’t mind getting your hands on the device, check back with us later for more updates.
