Though it may be an oldie, the Verizon Lumia Icon is still a goodie, which makes makes this $500 discount on Groupon pretty compelling. Granted the sale is for refurbished units, it's still a massive 83% discount off of the original retail price, bringing it down to just $99.
The Lumia Icon was originally released in early 2014, and is essentially a Verizon-branded version of the Lumia 930. Interestingly, the Icon also just received its update to Windows 10 Mobile as well, making this a relatively cheap way of getting your hands on the OS if you're so inclined.
In any case, if you'd like to take advantage of this deal, you can find the phone available at Groupon in either black or white for $99.
Thanks to tribexx for the tip!

Grab a Lumia Icon for the lowest price we've ever seen
Good deals for Icon lovers.
Great phone for Windows 10 on Verizon (can't speak to its mobility to other carriers). My Lumia 928 cracked (not the phone's fault), so I had no choice but to upgrade before the HP X3 or hoped-for Surface Phone came out. Grabbed the Icon and other than really missing Glance, I love it. With the exception of missing Glance support, it's a huge upgrade from the alredy solid 928 in terms of performance, display quality, camera quality, and it runs Windows 10 beautifully.
I have to cut my sim from my 928 to fit the ICON.
Can anybody point me to a micro sim to nano sim template that I can print on 8.5" x 11" easily? I'm struggling printing 1:1 for some reason. Nothing is measuring out right after I print.
Can't you just go to Verizon and say that you have a phone that requires a different sized sim from what you have currently? Cutting is so final, just see if they have an adapter like sim for you
Fantastic phone! I've had mine for two years now and it's still running flawlessly like a champ. I'm running the latest preview build from Windows Insider, which should be available to all Verizon Icon owners now. With every other phone I've had, after two years I'd have been itching for a new one because it was on it's last leg. Not so with the Icon. As I said, fantastic phone. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a high end Windows Phone experience at a great price.
Can anyone share the price in indian rupees plz
Is this available worldwide?
Where to i buy the lumia icon
I love my Icon. Iv'e been using for two years. I have been running the insider previews for about 6 months and there weren't very good at first but now there running really good.
I use Straight Talk as a provider and love it. No contract 45$ for 5 gigs and 55$ for 10. Uses Verizon towers. Great deal
How is your battery life with Windows 10? I have a Lumia 830 but battery life is much lower than on 8.1.
All the great deals like this are either not reachable for me or sold out before even I know it
Sold out now
Soon it will be free with $50 Windows store credit just to get rid of them.
Will this work on services other than CDMA?
I bought it, but they were sadly out of white. Hope it works with t-mobile as they say it will. If not im screwed. Thanks for the tip.
Also, if you have never purchased from Groupon before, use Promo Code WELCOME at checkout and it brings it down to $89.99
Bought... even though I already have an Icon. LOVE this phone, especially now since it has Windows 10 official. Keeping this one as a backup for family members until Surface Phone comes along.
This phone was discontinued by Verizon shortly after it was released. Not much to get excited about.
Why not? It's a great phone. Aside from the 950 this is as flagship as we'll get until the Surface Phone comes along... and what a price.
Isn't this basically just a smaller version of the 1520?

BTW, looks like the White is sold out.
That was quick.
I need this, but will it work with MTN Network? I'm in Nigeria.
What are the differences between this and the 928?
I'm trying to decide whether to get it. I have a working 735 and 928, currently I'm using my 928. I know the Icon lacks Glance, but does it make up for it other ways?
ICON has a bigger display, faster CPU and far better camera. It's a worthy upgrade over the 928...
It requires a smaller sim card as well. I haven't booted my ICON up yet because my sim doesn't fit. I'm going to cut it, but i'm having a hard time printing a 1:1 templete for 8.5x11" paper.
3.9mm (.153") longer, 1.9mm (.075") wider, .7mm (.027") thinner.
My 928 has been running like crap on W10M. I believe not all 928's are created equal. Some run good, others do not.
GSM 3G, yes. But no 4G capability if on a GSM network. Sadly, that's the downside of Verizon's phones: the bands it supports are very few.
I miss this phone though. The Icon was my favorite Windows Phone for its time. Now I have a 950. :)
Love my 930. For this price that's a steal! Almost jelous of people who will buy it for this price, but I'm also happy - more people will enjoy this amazing device.
Nicee, and now that it has official Windows 10 Mobile, you're all set. If I didn't have too many phones, I would be on this quickly. Unless I get rid of one phone...but not ready to do that. lol.
HTC One M8 for windows is for $129 on groupon.
I have the HTC One M8 and I prefer the Icon over it. It has a better camera, wireless charging, the screen dims much lower and brightens more consistently than the M8, and it has windows 10 officially. I will probably jump on this deal.
Anyone spending $600 for a W10M device today is naive or a fanboy, but I have to admit, this is a great deal. The camera alone, should make it worth the $99.
I just ordered one off of Amazon for $75! I think it was the last one from ECELLULAR.
Will it work on Proximus network (Belgian network) ?
I got my second one for that price after I broke my first one. It was and I still think it is available on Verizon's prepaid plans.
dammit!!! i have ATT!! ohh the tears T_T
It says Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile
from what i was researching is the MMS function does not work on ATT cuz of the APN...unless that has been fixed, cuz if it was fixed then ill def get one for att
For anyone on Sprint or Verizon looking for a good Windows phone, get this. This is a steal.
Does anyone on the latest Redstone builds feel like the autocorrect is way too overzealous?
Unrelated to the Icon, but yes, I notice the same thing on a 640.
Wahoo!! Imagine that price
I've seen this price this low on Ebay for factory refurbished units. I bought one a couple months back.
can I buy on https://www.groupon.com/ from canada ?
Good deal, but the big question is, does it still have the MMS issue where Verizon doesn't allow you to change the APN settings for other carriers?
Oh...I forgot about the Verizon part...I had become spoiled by unlocked phones...GSM and all
even though i have lumia 950, i know deal when i see one, might get this to replace my gf's 830
Omg omg and I'm in Chile :(
Cómpralo por Ebay
Pero es un icon... No se si acepta redes chilenas :S
;)

Yo estoy en Republica Dominicana y me funciona bien con Orange (900 MHz para 3G, el 4G LTE NO hay operadora aquí que sea compatible por ahora).
hey wow if this worked 100% on t mobile it would definitely be a great present for my dad.
Yea, what about T Mobile?
Icons are CDMA and are therefore not compatible with Tmo and ATT's GSM
According to that site it says "GSM and Verizon unlocked" so it should work on TMO
I believe there are some issues on TMO, like not being able to use WiFi calling. But should work fine otherwise.
If I order this, how easy is it to get it unlocked?
Verizon's phones ship unlocked. Can't get easier than that.
All Verizon LTE devices are unlocked
While the device is unlocked, there was an issue in WP8.1 where users could not edit MMS settings. So, while phone calls and texting works, you may have issues with MMS. I've been burnt by this before.
Don't use MMS where I'm from :)
This says Unlocked. Im in INDIA. Will that work under the network available here. ??
Worked there on Airtel and Vodafone
3G works fine?
Now, that's a deal, my work phone died (Blu with 10 update killed it, lol) this is a very good upgrade.
Good phone regardless of how old it is, excellent camera, great price
The Groupon post says it's unlocked for all GSM carriers, and it lists T-Mobile, AT&T and Verizon..not sure how true this is..
All Verizon Windows phones are unlocked for GSM. They work well on AT&T (I used an ATIV SE on Straight Talk AT&T towers). They freqs for T-Mobile tend to be locked, though, so they don't work as well on T-Mobile..
Don't try this on T-Mobile. It's a miserable experience

My dad's Icon I just bought him runs W10 sooo smoothly. Really glad to see the deal for everyone else.
Sweet. Just picked up two on this deal for my parents too. Hope it goes as well for them as it did for you.
Luv my 930, see zero reason to update to anything else, bought it new recently for $200
