Any new US WP8/8.1 phones on the horizon?!

[AlwaysColtron]

Hey all!

So just a general question and concern. When is the US get ANY new Windows Phone!? Minus the release of the 1020 last summer and the recently released 1520 (late 2013) and Icon (early 2014) we haven't had any new phones being announced? I know they announced at BUILD the 630 and 930 series but those are for the other markets. Yes, the MS-Nokia deal just went thru and I don't expect them to release a new phone very new months, I'm assuming the new partners they have will make that happen though, but I'm trying to decide if I want to get the Icon but I know I will kick myself if right after I get it they announce the WPXX Super Ultra Model! Anyone heard anything that might make me wait? Didn't they leak some code names a few months back but non of which were 100% confirmed to be for new phones, could be watches and low end devices for all we know. Thoughts?

The 63x will appear stateside and the 930 might appear (don't know for sure, someone might be better informed) too. but it's still here in the form of the Icon.

The Icon is still top-of-the-line, and its a fine device. Don't buy it because its the "best," buy it because the hardware is very powerful and is CURRENTLY best. It will always be outdated eventually. But we're in the clear for a while, since the 9xx is the top-end series, the 1520 is still recent. I wouldn't wait.
There are people constantly asking about a 1030, but no actual rumors or rumblings about that as of now.

If it were me, I'd expect a continued refresh of the mid range/low end phones before anything really new and amazeballs next year.
