Verizon already promised “multiple” Windows Phone 8 devices for this year, but no one actually expected it to add to its offering all of the already unveiled high-end smartphones running under this platform.

However, it appears that the carrier will indeed make such a move, and that we'll soon see Nokia's Lumia 920, HTC's Windows Phone 8X and Samsung's ATIV S available on Verizon's network.

All three smartphones are expected to hit shelves at Big Red sometime in November, but specific launch dates are not available as of now.

Other carriers in the United States are also expected to pick these smartphones up, which suggests that Windows Phone 8 might benefit from a great start in the country.

However, it still remains to be seen if the info that PhoneArena found in a leaked Verizon roadmap will indeed pan out, so stay tuned.
