Unlike Sprint, Verizon Wireless isn’t sitting still for the launch of Windows Phone 8. After releasing just one Windows Phone 7 device in the past two years, Big Red is planning to launch at least three new Windows Phone 8-powered smartphones this holiday season, including the HTC 8X, Nokia Lumia 822 and Samsung ATIV Odyssey.

The HTC Windows Phone 8x is highlighted by a 4.3-inch 720p HD resolution Super LCD2 display, Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage, an 8 megapixel rear camera, a 2.1 megapixel front-facing camera, support for Beats Audio technology, NFC, 4G LTE connectivity, and an 1800 mAh battery. Big Red claims the handset will be available in California Blue, Graphite Black and Flame Red sometime in November, before Thanksgiving, for $199.99 with a new two-year agreement.

The Nokia Lumia 822 sports a 4.3-inch AMOLED WVGA (800×480) ClearBlack display with super sensitive touch for nail & glove use, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon S4 1.5 GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage (expandable via microSD), an 8 megapixel rear camera with Carl Zeiss optics and dual LED flash, a 1.2 megapixel HD front-facing camera, NFC support, 4G LTE connectivity, and an 1800 mAh battery. It’s expected to be released for just $99.99 (with contract) by Thanksgiving in November.

There isn’t too much information on the Samsung ATIV Odyssey at the moment, however, if it’s anything like the previously announced Samsung ATIV S, then we’re probably looking at specs along the lines of a 4.8-inch HD Super AMOLED display, Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 1GB RAM, 16 or 32GB of internal storage (expandable via microSD), an 8 megapixel rear camera with LED flash, a 1.9MP front-facing camera, 4G LTE connectivity, and a 2,300mAh battery. We’ll be sure to keep you updated as official details are released in the coming days. For now, know that it’s scheduled to arrive in December.
