Who Still Plans on Buying the Icon?

[Blkacesvf41]

Some days I feel like I'm definitely gonna get it. Some other days the lack of storage expansion makes me hesitate, not to mention that my 822 is absolutely rock solid! It kinda feels like an unnecessary move, but those specs and beautiful design sure are tempting!

Prob not.... Unless the specs are not 100% on what we know and it comes with MicroSD otherwise I will hold on to my 928 for a while longer, WP 8.1 is due out in a few months, with that all new devices will come out and I would BET Verizon will get 1 or 2 of them as there will be HUGE promotion for it at the time.

Remember, HTC and Samsung will be making new WP devices soon, they might be waiting for 8.1 to hit.....

There is a small chance I will end up with one, as I will watch the used marketplace and if there is a used one for a unreal deal, I might jump on it...but, otherwise, I wont get it with out the MicroSD...

Hey guys, first post here.

I'm planning on getting the 929, but when depends on a few things.
I have unlimited data and my contract expires in June. Assuming the phone is out by then (you never know) my options are buy one for full price, OR my father's line expired 2 years ago so I could transfer his upgrade to my line, I think. How does this work? Would I lose my unlimited data If I did this? My father's phone is a basic flip phone so he is only a $10 charge on my plan.

I currently have a Droid 4 and would prefer a QWERTY keyboard, but it looks like Verizon is not supporting this idea anymore. My phone is terrible though, it freezes up all the time. it's pretty much useless for anything but texting. and I have less than 10 apps installed. since I don't really use apps and don't need a ton of storage, I figure the 929 will be perfect for me. I just want something fast that won't freeze.

There are two places I know of near Yellowstone where AT&T will work: Gardiner, MT (North Entrance) and two miles up the road to Lulu Pass east of Cooke City, MT (near the NE Entrance). The latter is only because there is a gap in the mountains that provides a line of sight to a tower 10 miles north of Cody, WY.

Really, if I could, I'd go with T-Mobile just for their up-yours attitude to other carriers. But their coverage makes AT&T look incredible. Understandable since reaching the bulk of U.S. customers is easily done in populated areas. Verizon can be commended for rural coverage. I've been in some remarkably remote spots and have been able to use my old Moto flip phone on their network.

As long as you are not upgrading the line that has unlimited data you'll be fine. In fact, if you have other lines that are eligible for upgrade, they recommend it. They don't care what you do with the phone as long as you sign a new 2 year contract. That's where they make their money. And as long as you don't have plans on leaving Verizon, it works out. This is what I do with my other lines that don't have unlimited data.

Hello. Our Fam-of-3 were looking at the windows phones tonight at a Microsoft kiosk at a mall. Our son wants the Icon, so we asked about it's release. The clerk said they'd been released and sold to the public before Verizon suddenly told them to stop and SHIP THEM BACK!!! I find this disturbing and not very encouraging to those of you waiting for this phone.

I don't think that's true, we would have heard something about that on here

Whaaaat? This doesn't make any sense. I don't think that clerk knows what's heck he's talking about! If true those"Sold" units would've been all over the internet.

Isn't it the time for verizon to release 1020? May be they are delaying the release of 929 to release it with their version of 1020.

I find the 928 fits most of my needs, the Odyssey is an awesome toy, but I'll want the 929 for all the 1080p video glory!

 

[worldspy99]

I would buy an unlocked Icon with LTE service on T mobile.

 

[bsayegh]

I on ATT, so no. But seriously, it seems like Verizon is TRYING not to sell this thing.

 

[berty6294]

I will purchase as soon as Verizon allows me to! Off contract as well.

EDIT: at my best buy store

HTC Trophy user here. If it ever comes out, yes! My current phone is still surprisingly fast for what it is, but it's so outdated that I'm just ready to move onto something else. Also, it would be nice to actually use some of the newer apps I keep seeing for WP8 one of these days.

Woah, HTC Trophy!!

 

[unstoppablekem]

If a global variant came out, not exclusive to Verizon, then I'd probably get one. Maybe Verizon gets this, and global/at&T gets it with a different design, microSD, and no Qi (obviously)?

 

[AndreAC_920]

I?m getting one or two for 100 percent sure! The perfect Size and the perfect Specs. Maybe the first device to stay with in a couple of years!
But just if Nokia reminds to give a international model, because i?m from Luanda, ANGOLA!

What the hell is the Icon?

It is the name used to refer a newer Lumia model. Some refer to it as the Lumia 929.

Looks nice on the leaked pics. Would def like a metal phone. Still got 10 months on my contract though. I'm sure there will be several more new models out with 100000 Megapixel cameras
