More big Windows Phone 8 announcements today out of New York.  Now HTC brings to new offerings to the Windows Phone ecosystem and they are looking pretty sharp.  In fact, they may have thrown a wrench into my next Windows Phone purchase!

I was convinced that the Nokia Lumia 920 would be my next WP purchase however, after seeing these and watching some of the videos I am now going to have to take a much closer look.

Isn’t it great to have what seem to be some very solid choices for the next round of Windows Phone handsets?
