Given Nokia's propensity for Thursday announcements, and the Verizon leak, what are our chances of hearing something tomorrow?
I'm thinking it's doubtful. I was in the Verizon store yesterday and happened to ask the guy if he knew anything about the Icon, he said that he had not heard anything and they generally know about 2 weeks before the phone goes on sale.
But, I will say this -- the HTC One Max was announced and available on the same day, so... Fingers crossed.
Does this mean that the Windows stores would have the device available tonight? :smile:This isn't necessarily true. Especially with WP8. Announcement could very well happen tomorrow. I actually feel more comfortable with tomorrow than any other previous date.

I'd say 60% tomorrow, 40% next week. Announcement only.
Odds based on zero science.
I posted in a couple of different threads that I know for fact that the MS store near me has accessories, and I also saw firsthand the accessories in a Verizon store near me. If the Verizon store has the accessories, then the phone is coming very soon. Most likely with the next week or 2. I called 3 different MS stores today and asked as well. One of the MS Store reps thinks the phones will be available between the 20th and the 25th. We'll see...
I went to our local Verizon store tonight, and the 928 was not to be found. Could be Verizon's predictable insouciance with WP, but could also be a good sign.

I think the lack of 928 in stores is a VERY good sign

Perhaps you might want to look up the actual definition of insouciance. Last I checked VZW sells three Windows Phones and a Nokia Windows tablet. The insistence around here that VZW does not support the platform is really quite tiresome.
Does this make sense? Those of us with 928's are waiting for two things, ICON and Black. Which makes more sense, update first or new phone first. I would think that Black doesn't offer enough "new things" to do it first. ICON should come with Black. God, I sound so damn confused don't I. Thoughts if any of this makes any sense, LOL
