Keeping device availability tucked firmly under its hat, Best Buy is now offering Nokia's Lumia 920 and the HTC 8X for pre-sale, priced at $149.99 and $99.99, respectively. Early buyers have options, too: the Lumia 920 is kitted out in red, blue, yellow, black and white shells. Fashionistas with a flair for purple, however, will need to stick to HTC's hardware. Unfortunately, you don't get that much choice -- Bust Buy's pre-orders don't balk at the devices' AT&T exclusivity (http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/18/Lumia-920-exclusive-for-6-months/). The retailer doesn't say when devices are going to ship, but we imagine early adopters won't have to wait too long (http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/04/windows-phone-8-event-oct-29/).
