Friends, Romans, Countrymen...lend me your phones!
I know just a bad bit of levity but I find that I have to try to laugh these days to keep from crying. Has anyone else noticed how HORRIBLE a job Verizon is doing when it comes to selling the Lumia in its brick and mortar stores?! Its absolutely a joke! I went into a Verizon store today to check out the new Lumia Icon and I walked around the store for a good few minutes before I could actually find the Icon on display. There was NO branding or placards or signage AT ALL. Just two Icons, one white and one black laying on a shelf with a BROKEN display kit. It was PATHETIC.
Seriously, what the heck is the deal when it comes to the relationship Microsoft and Nokia have with Verizon?! I mean its EMBARRASSING the way these phones are just not featured in any meaningful way in their stores. Its like the new phones aren't even a decent afterthought...
OK Im sorry about the rant but it just irks me to no end the way the Nokia phones are treated by Verizon.
As for the Icon itself? What can I say? Absolutely GORGEOUS display and a clean solidly industrial aesthetic design on the phone itself. By they way. Is it me or does the Icon actually feel LIGHTER than the 928? I may have to check the specs again to be sure but any way you slice it the phone does not feel bulky or heavy in the hand at all. It really is a great phone. Looking forward to getting mine via FedEx tomorrow.
As far as being a WP fan, i will continue to press on because I truly believe that the WP OS will only get better and better.
