posted on Oct 8th 2012 at 8:31pm by Ashley King

Windows Phone 8 devices will be available for pre-order in the US on October 21st, according to The Verge. According to their sources, AT&T and Microsoft will begin taking pre-orders for their devices on October 21st, including the HTC 8X and the Lumia 920. Additional pre-order devices include Samsung’s ATIV Smart PC and Asus’ Vivo Tab RT. The Windows Phone 8 devices will be available some time in early November, but once again no pricing information has been given either for the phones or the Windows 8 tablets that will go up for sale.

    YAY!!! I hope everybody is excited about paying $200.00 and signing a 2 year
    agreement for a Windows Phone. You all will be able to join us and be treated
    like crap by At&t support for your Windows Phone. Who knows? Maybe you will
    get lucky and make it 2 years with your phone without Microsoft shutting down
    the platform.

    Dude, I don’t know if you’re just a disgruntled Windows Mobile user or what, but you need to get over it.

    The only platform Microsoft has shut down is Windows Mobile.

    So Windows Phone 7 is still functional We are going to continue to be supported by Microsoft even with Windows Phone 8 coming out. Applications are still going to be designed with us in mind and updated with us in mind. Is that what you are saying?

    So what is your response on At&t’s behavior of not supporting Windows Phone 7 customers with updates and fixes at all released by Microsoft almost a year ago?
