Although nothing has been officially confirmed on its existence, Nokia’s Lumia 928 smartphone appears as a sure thing, and more and more rumors point at its near launch.

The latest of them even suggests that the smartphone will be offered on Verizon Wireless’ network with a $25 (19 Euro) Windows Phone Store credit, so that users could start buying and downloading apps right away.

The info comes from @evleaks, with no further details on the matter available: “$25 Windows Phone Store credit with purchase of upcoming Nokia Lumia 928 from Verizon.”

According to WMPoweruser, however, the smartphone should be officially introduced on May 14 as a slightly modified flavor of the Lumia 920.

Rumor has it that it will be a bit thinner and taller than the already available smartphone, and that it will also sport Xenon flash.
