Thats okay I would rather have all the bugs worked out since this is my daily phone. Ive thought about getting a 928 for the windows 10 preview
I think I'll pass until it is released for developers. I had no major issues with WP8.1 DP when it was released last year. By that time, it will be (mostly) ready to be released to the carriers. Hopefully, Verizon will be a little quicker off the start this time.
I watched the TWIT interview of Gabe Aul and he clearly stated it was a scaling issue - he said that the "text size" was just too small? He sounded like this was just a temporary situation, as one of the co-hosts Mary Jo Foley has Verizon and an Icon and was clearly disappointed.
Next build for Windows 10 for Phone due this Friday, Lumia 930 and Icon excluded | Windows Central

There probably is a thread like this on Windows Central but I waited so long for Denim - which has been awesome - that I would rather avoid all this "early build stuff"!

I had it for my Icon when it came out, was alright just buggy is all and hell on my battery. Anybody get insider slow and insider fast for the Windows insider app a couple days ago? I had finally gotten that option Friday night where as before I got the there is no preview for your phone at this time, message.

Was that on the supported device list? Or you hacked the build on? If the latter, then a poor experience was probably to be expected.

Yeah, was hacked. Just lagged a tad switching backgrounds, background pic didn't move when you scrolled up or down on the start screen, battery wasn't the greatest, the cellular toggle went missing or no option to put as and all the fonts were smaller.
Well, Microsoft BUILD conference is coming in 8 days ... does anyone think we will get an "option" for Windows 10 Insider for the Icon "BEFORE" BUILD?

Doesn't look like it, but maybe during or shortly after. Hopefully the version Icon gets is more stable and reliable than the current flavour.

I'm with you on that one. I won't put a tech preview on my main phone until it's verified to be stable.

So the Windows Insider app on my Icon just got an update. SO I ran it and instead of giving me an error about not being allowed to participate, I got to choose slow or fast ring. It rebooted my phone. I did an update check and its downloading updates. ????
UPDATE: Looks like it was starter files to get the next release.

I've done this, actually been checking daily, and still nothing. Anyone heard anything?

Read a while ago that the difference was in the screen which is why double tap would work on the 930 but not on the 929.
