wmpoweruser.com-"We have gotten out hands on the first picture of the Verizon Nokia Lumia 822, the carrier’s own exclusive version of the Nokia Lumia 820."
GotGame: The Lumia 822 uses Microsoft’s latest version of Windows Phone, Windows Phone 8. The young OS has come on in leaps and bounds over the last few years, and the features and ecosystem on offer is starting to rival offerings from both Google and Apple.
PocketNow - Like its magenta-hued Lumia 810 cousin, the Lumia 822 is a custom build of Nokia’s midrange Lumia 820 for an American carrier. Unlike its blocky T-Mobile USA companion, though, the 822 packs LTE support into its redesigned frame to accomodate the needs of its host, the much-larger Verizon Wireless network.
The 822 marks not just Nokia’s slice of a Windows Phone resurgence on America’s largest carrier, but the first significant Nokia phone of any kind to land on Verizon in quite some time. In the absence of CDMA-friendly versions of either the Lumia 900 or Lumia 920 on Big Red, it also means the Lumia 822 is the highest-tier Nokia Windows Phone available on the carrier — and it’s sharing shelf space with the premium Windows Phone 8X from HTC.
Ugly phone. What was Verizon thinking. I dont think this phone will sell.
