Wireless services provider T-Mobile has officially confirmed the upcoming release of HTC’s Windows Phone 8X smartphone on its network.

The company hasn’t provided a specific release date for the new mobile phone, but chances are that it will add it to its offering as soon as November, when the handset reaches other carriers as well.

“The Windows Phone 8X by HTC is coming to T-Mobile! The 8X by HTC features a beautiful 4.3” Super LCD HD screen, a dual-core processor and will run on T-Mobile’s fast HSPA+42 network,” the wireless carrier announced in a post on Google+.

“Customers will enjoy access to the Windows Phone’s Live Tiles, an iconic design, immersive studio-quality sound with Beats Audio and incredible camera capabilities.”

The smartphone has already been listed on the company’s website with a “coming soon” tag attached to it, and those who would like to learn more on when it will be launched should head over there and sign up for updates on the matter.

HTC has unveiled the Windows Phone 8X smartphone last week with a 720 x 1280-pixel touchscreen display, as well as with a dual-core Snapdragon S4 application processor packed inside.

Moreover, the new mobile phone comes to the market with 1GB of RAM, as well as with 16GB of internal memory.

There is also an 8-megapixel photo snapper located on the back of this smartphone, capable of recording videos in full HD resolution, complemented by a front camera for making video calls.

Windows Phone 8X by HTC also features Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity capabilities, along with the full range of sensors, and built-in GPS receiver to enable navigation features.

No specific price tag for the smartphone has been provided as of yet but, based on the info that emerged not too long ago in Europe on the matter, we should expect it to be a rather affordable device.
