Verizon has revealed today that it will be offering the Microsoft Lumia 735 in the United States, the first time the device will be available in the country (with a major carrier) since it launched last year. The largest carrier in the U.S. will offer the handset from today, giving Microsoft the biggest network in its homeland to try and pick up sales.

It has been known for some time that Big Red would start carrying the Lumia 735, so it is nice to see the company finally announce what is among Microsoft’s best devices (which is a little sad to say really). The Lumia 735 will be available for $79.99 on a two year contract plan, or 24 months of $8 payments on Verizon Edge Plan.
