Best Buy Prices Nokia Lumia 920 at $149, HTC 8X at $99

Oct 21, 2012, 9:46 AM by Eric M. Zeman

Best Buy has made the Nokia Lumia 920 and the HTC 8X Windows Phones available for preorder on its web site. Best Buy is charging $149.99 for the Lumia 920 and $99.99 for the 8X. Best Buy is offering the black, cyan, white, red, and yellow versions of the Lumia 920, and the purple version of the 8X. Customers must sign a new two-year contract with AT&T in order to get those subsidized prices. The off-contract full retail price is listed as $599.99 for both phones. AT&T has previously committed to selling both devices, but this is the first time a price point has been given for either phone. Best Buy does not list a shipping date for the Lumia 920 or 8X, but says they will ship "when available." AT&T has not said when the devices will go on sale.
