HTC Windows Phone 8X to launch on Nov 2, 8S on Nov 15

HTC's Windows Phone 8X and 8S devices have been priced in the UK and the more interesting of the two has even gone as far as pre-order stage on AT&T in the US. We've heard about a beginning of November release but it's only now that we get specific dates on the duo market availability.

UK retailer Clove has some information on the matter, pointing to a November 2 release date for theWindows Phone 8X and November 15 for the Windows Phone 8S.

So it's a fair assumption we'll see the two WP8 smartphones being globally rolled out around the same dates.

The Winows Phone 8X has a 4.3" 720p S-LCD2 at the front, an S4 chipset with two Krait CPU cores, an 8 MP bright f/2.0 wide-angle shooter on the back and runs the latest version of the Microsoft mobile platform. Clove has the device priced £399.98. The Windows Phone 8S packs a less impressive specs sheet, featuring a 4" WVGA screen, lower-clocked Krait-powered processor and 5 MP camera, but adds expandable storage to the mix. It costs £224.99 at Clove.
