Owners of the Lumia Icon smartphone from Verizon Wireless might still be able to get the over-the-air update to Windows 10 Mobile. The phone, which launched in early 2014, is currently not mentioned on the list of eliglbe older Windows Phones for the Windows 10 Mobile upgrade.
In response to a question on Twitter by ZDNet's Mary Jo Foley on the status of the Icon, Windows Insider head Gabriel Aul stated:
The Lumia Icon is virtually identical to the Lumia 930 that launched internationally later in 2014, and that phone is indeed supported for the Windows 10 Mobile update. Hopefully. Microsoft can work something out with Verizon to get the update to those Icon owners.
