Nokia has already announced its newest smartphones, the Lumia 920 and Lumia 820. However, no one knows of the release date or price of the phones.

New information suggests that the release date for the Lumia 920 will be early in November.

According to GForGames, Word around the campfire is that Microsoft, Nokia and the US carrier are working diligently in order to make a November 2nd launch possible for the Lumia 920. Microsoft is working hard on finalizing Windows Phone 8 and according to some sources, the upcoming mobile operating system is set for RTM (Release to Manufacturing) next week.

Windows Phone 8 should make its debut sometime in October 29th and meanwhile, AT&T is apparently testing the Lumia 920 in its own labs in order to ensure that a November 2nd launch is possible.

Reuters also said that Lumia 920 will be available in November.

Sources at European telecoms operators recently said that Nokia will start selling its new smartphones in November, according to Reuters.

According to PCWorld, other wireless carriers are staying tight-lipped on whether they'll sell any Nokia phones this holiday season. Verizon tells CNet that it will sell "multiple Windows Phones" in the fourth quarter, but says only that it's having "healthy conversations" with Nokia.

The Lumia 920 takes many of the physical design elements from previous generations of Lumia handsets, but improves on internal hardware and display technology. Some of the new tech specs include PureMotion HD+ 4.5 inch display (1280 x 768 resolution), Dual-core 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 processor, NFC chip, 2,000mAh battery, and Qi wireless charging. Nokia is touting the Lumia 920′s premier feature as its new camera lens.

It has rounded edges and colorful covers with a PureView camera and runs on Windows Phone 8.

Critics are not happy with the new smartphone, however.

According to Reuters, the new Lumia 920 drew a thumbs down from many analysts, who felt it lacked the "wow" factor to make big inroads against rivals.

They were also unsettled by Nokia's refusal to say when the phone, and the smaller Lumia 820 models, would go on sale, or to give details on the price and operator partners.

Rumors say that the Lumia 920 will be priced similar Samsung's flagship Galaxy S3, operators in several countries said. The Galaxy S3 sells for around 580 euros.
