Ive done some research but just want to confirm what I have found about the Icon.
Quick background, my wife and I just switched from TMobile to Verizon. I had the 925 and absolutely loved the phone but where we live Tmobile isnt great and got tired mostly only getting 2g data. Also get a discount at work through Verizon so we made the switch. I picked up the HTC One M8 for Windows and honestly do not care for it so far. I dont like the power button (sits too low, I have a hard time finding it) doesnt have a camera button to quick launch the camera, no glance, just to name a few.
Looking through my options looks like the Icon is my only other choice really for a Windows phone. From what I can gather it launched without Glance capability, is this still an issue? I really like the Glance and dont think I will like any phone that doesnt have it. Looks like the Icon never got the Cyan update and looks like there is a lot of gripe about it. I know it appears as though Glance isnt available, but was hoping maybe I missed something. Also for those who have it, has it been upgraded to 8.1 or will I need to get the Preview for Developers and go that route?
So far really dissapointed with the lack of my options on Verizon. Might just have to stick with the M8 and get the dot case I guess, seems to be the closest way to get something resembling Glance.
