Pre-order your AT&T branded Nokia Lumia 1520 now; phone gets released on November 22nd

It is now official. After some false starts via the Microsoft Store, the word directly from AT&T and Microsoft is that the Nokia Lumia 1520 phabet can now be pre-ordered from AT&T for a price of $199.99 on contract. Off-contract, the price is $584.99. The first Windows Phone phablet is available in red, black and white with yellow available later this year. The unit will be released on November 22nd. That is actually the exact date that a leaked screenshot of an inventory page tipped us off to on Wednesday.

Thanks to Microsoft's GDR3 update, Nokia can offer a Windows Phone 8 model with a 6 inch screen LCD screen, 1080 x 1920 resolution and a 368ppi pixel density. The update also allows the device to be driven by a quad-core 2.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor. With a purchase of the phone, the Microsoft Store is offering $70 of free Windows Phone Store credit, a free flip cover and Halo: Spartan Assault. AT&T will give you $20 of Windows Phone Store credit, 50GB of cloud storage with AT&T Locker, and Halo: Spartan Assault.

Remember, AT&T's version of the phone limits you to 16GB of native storage, and wireless charging is not included. A 32GB model is supposedly on its way. For those worried about storage on the phone, there is a 64GB capacity microSD slot on the device. AT&T does have anexclusive on the device in the U.S.
