I use my old 928 to stream music via nokia mixradio at my office, and the wifi signal alone in the same spot is at least 1/3rd less on the icon compared to the 928 in the same spot. Is it a hardware issue?...maybe, or a design issue with the phone case itself. I have noticed that if I take my incipio case off the icon, it improved the wifi slightly. I haven't had any other issues with my Icon, and I check this forum multiple times daily to get word on cyan, now denim updates.
While I'm as frustrated as everyone about the lack of updates (I have run DP for months), I don't think there's anything wrong with the phone itself. I just think that the cortana integration, and verizon's genuine hate/lack of enthusiasm for windows phone has caused the delays. We WILL get the update, they're just not in a hurry, as we're the minority. I'm in retail, and trust me, we push and stock what sells the best. We've all seen how they treat us windows phone monkeys in the stores.......we might as well have a cancer. I have not seen a lot of serious problems posted from users in this forum....actually very few. And we all know, people only post about the problems they've had with a product....NOT the good.
We're just the "red headed stepchild" for verizon. I honestly don't ever see them jumping knee deep into windows phone. They probably sell 500 iphones for every windows phone sold.
I love my Icon, and can't wait to see Denim. Maybe we can continue to influence family/friends to take a serious look at WP, but it's been a tough sell. WE will be the only ones to help turn the tides, cause the verizon store, NOR microsoft is really going to advertise these things.
