If the rebranding is true, then I wouldn't be surprised if marketing is hoping that we will dump the Icon for the rebranded one.  If it is just rebranded, that is just further proof that 8.1 and cyan work on the Icon and Verizon is holding it up.  They just want us to get another device.  I've got news for them.  I just got my Icon and I plan to keep it for a while now.

I didn't like the direction Apple is taking the iPhone.

I'm curious, what does that have to do with switching carriers?

Ready just means IF the M***S at Verizon release the update it will load it.  It does not come WITH the update.

Wonder with us all complaining and filing FCC complaints about not getting the Windows Phone 8.1+Cyan, VZW decided to retired the phone

I was on AT&T with iPhone 5s. Needed to go to Verizon do to coverage issue after moving to NH. That's when Icon came out. Sold 5S for very good price and made the jump to Verizon and Icon.

You could always daily harass their Twitter account @VZWSupport every day telling them it's time to release Cyan and then start the online chat and say we want Cyan and then close the chat.  Smiley Happy

Or if someone has a media contact willing to keep on Verizon about it...  That could be really fun!

If Verizon discontinues support for the Icon I JUST got, I will discontinue Verizon to head back to AT&T.  Only reason I came to Verizon was for the Icon

Doesn't matter if they retire it so long as they pass through the updates. Actually, my take on this is that if it is retired then the 930 comes to the US on multiple carriers (maybe even VZW). I'd just switch our business Icons over to that carrier and I'm sure we'd get the firmware through them. Alternatively, I doubt MS will leave Icon users hanging and would just allow the Cyan/Denim updates to flow from them through a non-OTA update.
