AT&T telah mengkonfirmasi bahwa mereka akan menjual sejumlah produk berbasis Windows Phone 8, termasuk 920 Lumia dari Nokia. Sekarang sebuah laporan baru mengklaim bahwa pre-order untuk smartphone Windows 8 AT&T dapat dimulai dalam waktu kurang dari dua minggu.
Verge melaporkan, melalui sumber yang tidak disebutkan namanya, bahwa para user dapat mulai membeli perangkat Windows Phone 8 dari AT&T mulai pada tanggal 21 Oktober. Para user pun dapat memesan smartphone Windows Phone 8X dari HTC. Namun, Microsoft belum secara resmi mengkonfirmasi kapan perangkat-perangkat berbasis Windows Phone 8 akan dijual, namun mereka akan mengadakan acara peluncuran untuk Windows Phone 8 di San Francisco pada tanggal 29 Oktober. Perangkat itu sendiri diharapkan akan mulai didistribusikan pada awal November.
Laporan tersebut juga mengklaim bahwa AT&T akan mulai menerima pre-order pada tanggal 21 Oktober mendatang untuk dua tablet berbasis Windows, ASUS VivoTab RT dan Samsung ATIV Smart PC. Tablet ini sendiri tampaknya akan tersedia di toko AT&T pada 26 Oktober tepat pada tanggal peluncuran resmi Windows 8.
Laporan tersebut sama sekali tidak mencantumkan harga untuk perangkat-perangkat AT&T ini.

Research shows that Windows Phone now had a market share of 5.0% in Europe for the 12 weeks leading up to September 2nd, an increase of 31.6% from last year. During that same period, RIM's BlackBerry share fell from 12.2% to 6.4% according to Kantar Worldpanel ComTech.
Global consumer insight director at Kantar Worldpanel ComTech, Dominic Sunnebo, said,Windows is making steady progress in the big European economies and is now challenging BlackBerry for third spot in the European OS league. With the momentum Windows 8 will bring towards the end of 2012, it seems highly likely that it will achieve this before the end of the year.
Several Windows Phone 8 devices are to be released before the end of this year, such as the Samsung ATIV S, Nokia Lumia 920, and HTC's Windows Phone 8X. Microsoft will be hoping these devices will push Windows Phone market share higher, and hopefully past BlackBerry OS to put them at third place in the OS wars behind Apple's iOS and Google's Android.

HTC has finally taken the wraps off their latest Windows Phone 8 device, and it comes with some interesting branding. Rather than being called the HTC 8X, it's actually called the Windows Phone 8X by HTC - a move that shows the partnership between Microsoft and HTC that dates back to the original Windows Phone devices.
Like the rumors have been pointing to for weeks, the HTC 8X comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor, clocking in at 1.5 GHz across two cores and also supplemented by 1 GB of RAM. The display is a 4.3-inch 1280 x 720 Super LCD 2 panel coated with Gorilla Glass 2, and surrounded by a 10.1mm thin curved case that comes in Nokia-style colors known as "California Blue, Graphite Black, Flame Red and Limelight Yellow".
Other specs include a rear 8-megapixel camera with a BSI sensor, f/2.0 lens and LED flash, plus a 2.1-megapixel front-facing camera with 88-degree field-of-view; 16 GB of on-board storage and a 1,800 mAh battery. Naturally, Windows Phone 8 is on-board with some exclusive accent colors to match the hardware, plus Beats Audio enhancement.
The HTC 8X (or Windows Phone 8X by HTC) will be coming to T-Mobile, Verizon and AT&T "within days" of the Windows Phone 8 release at the end of October, meaning it should be on the shelves right at the start of November.
