A few days ago, a Verizon document has made its way to the web, revealing that the HTC upcoming HTC 8X may go on sale on November 12th for $199.99 with a new two-year contract. Verizon’s pricing for the HTC 8X isn’t surprising, but it is significantly higher than the $99.99 pre-order price that Best Buy has on the AT&T’s HTC 8X. Verizon has always priced its devices a bit higher than its competitors, but it seems a bit odd that they’d choose to charge double.
Fortunately, leaked documents have a way of changing, which could mean that the price of Verizon’s HTC 8X could come down between now and November 12th. We expect Verizon, T-Mobile and AT&T to officially unveil their pricing and launch dates for the HTC 8X after Microsoft’s Windows Phone 8 event scheduled for next week.

Are you trying to make VZW look bad??
Get your facts straight – it is double because the VZW version comes with 16gb and AT&T only has 8gb
Not at all. Yes, there should be a price difference between 8GB and 16GB of storage, but it shouldn’t be more than $50 especially considering you can buy a 32GB microSD card for around $25 and 16GB cards are less than $10.
No one seem to complain when apple charges $100 more for more storage. And why do you wait for the full specs to be released for Verizon’s Verison there maybe more to it than just the storage space.
Doubtful. HTC already announced the phone and all its specs. If there was something special about it, we’d know by now. The only thing we’re still waiting on it final detailsl on WP8.
100$ more just for 8gigs of space. Makes so much sense. It actually does make VZW look bad.
Best Buy’s price is a pre-order price and might be lower in order to get people to commit to it now. I would not be surprised to see the price go to 149 as a normal price once it is released. Then you are paying $50 more for the Verizon model with double the storage. Also Verizon might offer a similar price drop for pre-orders. Really what you should take away from this article is: if you are a windows phone fan you have an opportunity to get a flagship device at a great price from Best Buy right now.
