Verizon reportedly retires the Lumia Icon less than a year after launch

The Lumia Icon was released on Verizon on February 20, 2014. That wasn't too long ago, which is surprising that Verizon has decided to "retire" the device so soon.

We're big fans of the Lumia Icon and we know we're not alone. It's the phone known internationally as the Lumia 930, but exclusive to Verizon. It features a beautiful 5-inch, 1080p display and a 20 MP PureView camera. Other tech inside include a Snapdragon 800 processor, 2 GB of RAM, 32 GB of storage and Qi wireless charging. It's a great device and one of the best Windows Phones available on Verizon.

Icon Retired

Which is odd that the Icon has already been retired by Verizon. The information comes from the official Verizon Wireless Support Twitter account. They say the Lumia Icon is still in stock, but is now retired.

We're going to file this as a "rumor" until an official statement comes from Verizon. Support staff can sometimes mix up internal information, so we'll see how this plays out. In the meantime, we'll reach out and see if we can find out what's really happening with the Icon on Verizon.

Update: As many have noted, you can no longer purchase the Lumia Icon on Verizon's website, seemingly confirming the news.
