The post Nokia Lumia Icon review rebuttal: Verizon’s first great Windows Phone appeared first on Pocketnow.
To date, options have been sparse for CDMA users in search of a truly high-end Windows Phone. The most high-end Windows Phones Verizon has offered are the Nokia Lumia 928, and the Windows Phone 8X by HTC. Sprint has the HTC 8XT and Samsung ATIV S Neo. There have been a few other forgettable models offered by the two CDMA carriers here in the States, but CDMA subscribers have not been treated to a truly spectacular, boundary breaking Windows Phone handset … ever. Nokia and Verizon ...

Samsung’s Galaxy S 4 is easily one of the most popular and successful Android handsets … ever. However, it’s quickly approaching the one-year mark and its successor is just around the bend. While we wait for the next-gen Galaxy S, we’re curious how well the existing Galaxy S 4 can hold down the fort. Nokia’s Verizon flagship, the Lumia Icon, launches today. How does it compare with Samsung’s nearly one-year-old smartphone? ...

Nokia’s Lumia 1020 was easily one of the most impressive smartphones of 2013. Better yet, it’s one of the more innovative handsets of the decade, with its 41-megapixel image sensor, paired with optical image stabilization. Its solid design and Nokia’s reputation for quality didn’t hurt matters either. However, CDMA users have been left mostly to feed on the Windows Phone scraps of late, and Nokia stepped up to the plate with yet another stellar entry, the

Nokia’s latest handset, the Lumia Icon, is headed to Verizon Wireless later this week. The Icon is a rarity, at least for CDMA folks, in that it’s a true high-end Windows Phone handset – something CDMA customers have effectively missed out on since the beginning of Windows Phone. The Lumia Icon from Nokia features a snappy 2.2GHz quad-core Krait 400 CPU and Adreno 330 GPU to make the Snapdragon 800 SoC, 2GB RAM, 32GB fixed storage, a 5-inch 1080p display, a 20-megapixel primary camera, and a 2,420mAh battery. ...

Nokia’s Lumia Icon has been patiently awaiting launch day for months now. Even if we look past all the early Lumia 929 business, we’ve been spotting signs of it over on Verizon’s servers going back well over a month by now; when’s it finally going to become available?

The 2014 Mobile World Congress may still be a couple weeks away, and while we’re sure to see a lot of new hardware at the expo, we’ve also been catching word of some pre-MWC events. Overnight, for instance, we learned that LG’s planning some sort of announcement in South Korea for next Thursday. Nokia may already have its own MWC even scheduled for February 24, but now we’re wondering if it also might be planning to make a launch ...

If we’re to believe one analysis of a recent leak, the Nokia Lumia Icon for Verizon (aka the Lumia 929) could launch as soon as tomorrow. Then again, it might not be launching until March 5. Or heck, it could even be some other date that’s yet to emerge as a probable contender. But one way or another, this phone simply needs to make its debut – we’ve been tracking leaks of the hardware going back a solid four months now. Until Verizon makes its ...

When, oh when, will the Nokia Lumia Icon finally launch? A couple weeks back we got what might be the biggest break in the phone’s launch story to date, when a page on Verizon’s test site not only revealed the phone’s listing prematurely, but also confirmed that Icon name, marking a major shift in how we talk about Lumia phones. But as quickly as it was unearthed, that page vanished. We were hoping that a launch might soon follow, with rumors pointing ...
