The Specifications for the Nokia Lumia ICON

[anon(5335877)]

Better call quality is always a plus, but simultaneous voice and data? Been happening for awhile on alot of Verizon handsets.
Current voice over cdma seems really pretty adequate as it is. I wouldn't hold off buying a phone waiting for the almighty volte capability,
Of course Verizon can probably shed some more UL data users with people switching. Now if worldwide calling were free or really cheap with
volte then maybe wed have something.

I know a lot support simultaneous voice and data, but some still don't--The biggest one I know of is the iPhone 5S/5C/5. The GSM version of the iPhone does, but the CDMA version doesn't.

I'm guessing VoLTE will make calls cheaper for carriers, but you know how American carriers are. They never want to pass the savings onto us. That's why most carriers are trying to give you unlimited voice and text, but charge you lots for limited data.

The 928 supports simultaneous voice and data. So do a lot of other Verizon phones. LTE is GSM based and use for data while CDMA doe voice.

I'd like to know 1.) Whether there will be a 64gb version along with the 32gb version. 2.) What the battery size is. 3.) Release date.

I feel like we know just about everything else.

Two downgrades IMO.

1. From Xenon Flash to dual LED. Phone still looks thick so, you gain a bigger battery?

2. The 928 had AMOLED, but the 1520's IPS just looks better to me. But they stuck with AMOLED again for the 929 instead of an IPS like the 1520, most likely the same 1080p penTile panel from the Galaxy S4. I keep my phone on low brightness alot. AMOLED does not look good at low brightness.

It's technically not a downgrade to keep AMOLED. I think AMOLED and IPS both have their pros and cons. I honestly prefer AMOLED, and I'm never on low brightness... There's no reason to go on low brightness when it's AMOLED. It's battery efficient as it is and the auto brightness setting is fantastic for going from indoors to outdoors and vice-versa.

Time will tell on the xenon flash. I think it'll be just fine without it.

I prefer IPS over amoled, but if it looks like the Note 3 I'll be OK with it. I don't care for the S4 screen as much. The 929 screen looks really good in the pictures I've seen though.

Considering how "compact" they made this device for it's size, being only 3mm wider than my 822, thinner, and just a few mm taller, it looks like I might just have something to spend my upgrade on. Especially considering it comes with the 20MP camera. I'll wait to get my hands on the device and confirm it won't be uncomfortable to hold and use, but this sounds like just the right device for me.

?Data Sense, NFL Mobile, Verizon Tones, VZ Navigator, My Verizon Mobile

Another gripe with Verizon....most likely will not be able to uninstall VZ Tones, VZ navigator and VZ mobile. More storage taken by Verizon spam.

I've uninstalled every Verizon app that came with my phone. That's how Windows Phones work. It'll be the same with these apps.

the NFL mobile app is pretty good if u like football ;P

I'm sure i'll keep the NFL app. I also like VZ Mobile for tracking data & minutes. But I was just letting the doofus who posted "another grip with Verizon" know that it's super easy to get rid of anything you don't want on your WP.

 

[Muessig]

No name calling needed here guys, keep it civil.

As far as the 929 goes, I think it's got good specs and if it was available in the UK I'd be quite tempted by it!

 

[maevinj]

Wow did somebody get reported for calling somebody else a doofus? That's funny!

I call my nephews and family friends kids doofuses all day long. If it's an offensive name, it's the funniest and least-offensive offensive name I've ever heard.

Miriam-Webster defines "doofus" as:

a person who lacks good sense or judgment.

I would be perfectly okay with being penalized for calling someone a doofus.

Pretty sad, actually. I didn't report it.


To reiterate my reply which was removed, not all apps can be uninstalled, like the VZ Navigator on my 8X for instance. I contacted VZ about it and this is their reply:

VZ Navigator can't be removed from the phone, but you can currently try it free for 30 days VZ Navigator - Verizon Wireless. I'd be happy to help you enjoy it.

Thank you

It must be your 8x phone. I just uninstalled VZ Navigator from my 928..

I've uninstalled Navigator on an 8x and an 822. So that's weird that yours isn't letting you.

 

[gapost]

I've uninstalled VZ Navigator on several 8x's. And other Verizon apps.

 

[Digital Chris]

same here I just kept the football app on my 8x

 

[falconrap]

I uninstalled it from my 822. So clearly it's something wrong with your phone. Might need a reset or something.
