If you’re planning on picking up a Windows Phone device, you might be interested to learn that according to a fresh set of rumors, it seems that come October 21^st, AT&T will be taking pre-orders for Windows Phone devices. Given that Microsoft will be hosting a Windows Phone 8 event in San Francisco come 29^th of October, it’s not a stretch of the imagination to think that AT&T could be getting a head start on the pre-orders before.

Supposedly AT&T will also be taking pre-orders for Windows 8 devices like the Samsung Ativ Smart PC and the ASUS Vivo Tab RT, which coincidentally is near Microsoft’s Windows 8 event on the 25^th of October. The devices are said to be made available the next day, while the Windows Phone 8 handsets should be available in early November. We’ll take this with a grain of salt for now but we’ll keep our eyes peeled nonetheless, so be sure to check back with us then for the updates!
