The Nokia Lumia Icon is Verizon’s new flagship Windows Phone

I really wanted to love Nokia’s Lumia Icon phone. Right now, after two-plus days of continual use, I can say I like it. We Windows Phone users on Verizon have had very limited phone choices, as Nokia’s flagship models have tended to debut first on AT&T and secondly on T-Mobile. I currently sport an HTC 8X phone and continue to find it to be a solid performer. I bought it a year and a half ago because I found it to be far more to my liking, size-wise, than the Lumia 920. I’d been hoping the Lumia Icon might be my first Nokia phone. Here’s what I like about Nokia’s newest Lumia (codenamed the Lumia 929), which will beavailable on Verizon only starting this week, February 20, for $199.99 on contract: I like the five-inch 1080p screen, the ability to adjust brightness and color saturation, and the three columns of tiles it allows me to display.
