And the wait goes on......tick, tock, tick, tock....

Come on Verizon, just release Denim (yea, as I said before, I gave up already on Cyan)....NOW !!!
 
Even if the update broke compatibility with a hondai elantra and I had one (I have a chevy volt) I would rather they release it immediately and break that, then we can report that and they could fix it and release that immediately. I would rather have 5 updates in 5 weeks that fixes all the issues rather than 1 update 5 months later that has no issues. The only thing I've ever heard of that I find unacceptable is ios 8.0.1 breaking cell phone connectivity. That is 100% unacceptable and completely inexcusable. Everything else that doesn't brick the phone that can be fixed quickly and reasonably is fair game. That is why Verizon has no business being involved in this process.

I bet they charge for every test, sort of like how developers are required to fork over 35k, 75k, or 150k to MS for every update delivered over Xbox Live.

But, I bet Verizon charges more to their billionaire OEM partners. 7 figures per update per device sounds about right?
 
A co-worker who has the Icon and could not get into the Preview (app wouldn't download) just had 8.1 pushed out to his phone this morning.

Don't believe it. If it had been released, there would be page after page more here announcing the release.
 
Well, something's up cause the Icon isn't even on the shopping part of VZW web site. I hope all the complaint's haven't ruined my ability to get this phone when the update comes out!!
 
Did anyone try to check for update with the Preview turned off. Just a thought,


Update, nevermind; just checked without Preview and no update as yet.

Very interesting...only the 928 is listed under Nokia.
If you do a search the black icon comes up but when you click on that it just goes to phones and devices.

I just looked at VZW site and the Icon is still listed.

I will likely hold all three of my Lumia's back on 8 until Denim, then, depending on the reviews of Lumia Camera, consider updating my Icon straight to Denim to take advantage of the improvements.

Or just keep on with 8.
 
They are right. I went to the VZW mobile site. The Icon is there, but no pics, reviews or info. I think they are updating the page with a pic of a hippo's hind end with a "Kiss it MS Slappys" banner above it.
 
I just emailed my Verizon GR about it and that I need pricing on it for a possible employee. I will see what he says, if he replies back that is...

Update:
LOL Verizon GR with no details as I figured after answering my other question in great detail regarding our iPhone 6 employee order ETA.

Don’t know about Nokia.

I looked as well and the Icon is no longer listed. My 1st thought is they are updating the page, maybe to list it as having 8.1?

Who knows.. I bet it will be back listed soon but the question is why is it MIA..
