Verizon has shown in the past that it's a fan of re-releasing its existing handsets in new colors, with the Motorola DROID RAZR and its multiple color variants being a prime example. The big red carrier looks ready to continue that trend next month, as a new report from @evleaks on Unwired View has revealed that Verizon is planning to introduce new versions of the Nokia Lumia 822 and Motorola DROID RAZR M for Valentine's Day. Expected to debut sometime in the coming weeks, the Lumia 822 will be coming in some new red duds, while the RAZR M will get a fresh coat of pink paint. Both models are likely to feature price tags under $50.

These new red and pink handsets fit nicely with Valentine's Day, and the new colors offer a much more bold look than the existing Lumia 822 and RAZR M units, which are offered in black and white. The Lumia 822 is also available in a third gray model. I think that the red Lumia 822 looks spiffy (which shouldn't come as a surprise), and considering that other Lumia handsets are available in fun colors, it's good to see that the Lumia 822 will soon follow suit. More details on these two new handsets as we get 'em.
