i quite like the icon's look but why oh why is there no cyan!?
Nobody knows yet, hopefully we'll get some info this evening. If anything I imagine there will be a next Gen 5XX by the end of the year.
I'd love to hear why Cyan just got killed off after the 920.
So the Lumia 930 is the Icon.....
Watch it only be 16GB with no MicroSD card and no Qi
Still probably getting it
I live in Canada (an hour and a half drive from the border), so of course the integrated podcast support doesn't work.
Still butthurt 2 years later.

930 is what I'm looking for, except it won't have Qi on ATT. 
I need to look at my contract as well, I think I still have a decent amount of time left on my 920.

AT&T is really laughing at me now for buying that Qi charger from them...those rat bastards!

Is that software buttons on the 930?

I have two Qi charging pads...one at home and one at work. So useful.
Thanks to AT&T to dragging us into the past. Fun.

Looks like capacitive buttons to me.

Same here, I got one for free with my 920, I got another for work. I'll be really sad panda to go back to plugging cables in or getting an adapter case. Dark ages.

I have to admit, I don't know if I'm going to buy another Windows Phone. I really don't want the three column home screen. It looked terrible in every single picture or screenshot I saw. If they're going to force it on my 920, I'll have to live with it, but I won't be happy about it.
Windows Phone 8.1 got a separate Podcast app. It's not integrated into the music app anymore. No info on international availability, though.

hoping that will be different in 8.1. I'd wait and see.
I got my 920 in July last year and it still feels like I just got it. It's too soon for something new. The next Nexus phone might be interesting, though.
e: The 930 is the Icon, but with two more color options. Hm. I hate the color selection and it seems rather lazy.
The colors just don't work with the grey metal band.
I think I will stay with my red lumia 920
Sounds like it'll be an option on most phones
yes there is an option for that

Probably similar to Windows 8.1's "Show more tiles" option.

If it's an option, like on Windows 8 or 8.1, where you have a switch for "more tiles", then I'd be okay with it. Otherwise it's dead to me.

"So users will be able to select between two or three columns for the Start Screen, and there's even a background over Live Tiles."
Windows Phone is saved.

Show more tiles is an option. Brot won't have to buy an ugly LG phone!!!

I don't get the Rudy reference. I'm following the Engadget live blog.

Rudy made some of the custom lockscreen apps. You should follow the Verge.
Is this the complete Windows Phone team?

Are you really going to have to hold the phone up to your mouth to use Cortana?
[edit] his store icon has a number next to it, why still no auto updates like the desktop Windows?

He's probably just doing that to try and eliminate margin for error.

Don't hate. The small tiles option on the 920 can look awesome if you try
Like I said, every single time I see it, it looks terrible.

You know what. The idea to put all wide tiles on one side and smaller tiles on the other is a pretty nice looking thing.

I just watched WPC's run through of it and I really I'm excited to get using it. Looks great!

930 is the Icon for global markets. It will not be released for ATT or T-Mobile.
There's still hope Nokia shows off a new device for ATT, "the premier" WP carrier.

Sorry guys, looks like there will be no device porn from me tonight...
This is how everyone else felt with AT&T had exclusivity contracts with Nokia.

Cortana will only get better as it rolls out to everyone. It really, truly does get better as it gets more uses by people. While MS is a very diverse group of people, we aren't representative of everyone

You guys can import the Canadian version for AT&T and T-Mobile, but don't break it because Nokia doesn't like international warranties.
