I'm considering jumping to Verizon, and I'm not necessarily in love with the HTC One M8. I also don't want to go back to my pre-Cortana life. How stable/usable is the Lumia Icon with Developer Preview installed?

Dp is good on the icon. Battery life won't be as good, but not bad enough to make me go back to 8.0
My brother has an icon and developer preview has killed it's Wi-Fi. His room is 2 walls behind the router and on stock 8.0, it had a full signal in that room. Now it only has 1 bar and sometimes it does not connect at all. The other problem is the lag when waking the phone up from sleep. My 2 cents: Stay away from Verizon. They have abandoned the icon and are painfully slow in getting out updates. Get a 1520.3 instead and you'll be free to switch between AT&T or T-Mobile.
If the camera is the only thing you don't like about the M8 you may want to at least give it a look. I will say the cam is the only thing I miss from the icon but the rest of the goodness easily offsets the lacking cam. Also, depending on how you need to use it, it's not as bad as everyone says, IMO. Good light shots are fine. posting to social sites who needs a top notch cam for that anyway? the battery on the M8 will go all day and then some. Speakers are great, everything else is as good or better than the ICON. Have you had a chance to try it besides in store? Just don't be dismissive about it without fully checking it out. For some reason it has gotten a lot of bad accolades that put it in a bad light. Anyway it's worth a good close look.I'm considering jumping to Verizon, and I'm not necessarily in love with the HTC One M8. I also don't want to go back to my pre-Cortana life.
