US retailer, bestbuy.com, yesterday listed and started accepting pre-orders for the Nokia Lumia 920 and HTC’s Windows Phone 8X. The HTC 8X 4G at US$99.99 while the Lumia 920 was priced at US$149.99, but has since been removed from bestbuy.com’s site.

There are no indication of when exactly these two smartphones will be available, but the site does add that they “will ship when available”. A Windows Phone 8 press event will also be held on the 29th of October by Microsoft to unveil its new operating system and announce final, or expected, launch dates.
