Verizon now offers the Lumia Icon at a lower price

Verizon has dropped the price on its exclusive Nokia Lumia Icon today, placing it in the same bracket as the iPhone 5c, BlackBerry's Bold 9930 and the Galaxy S4. You can now get a shiny new Windows Phone flagship for $49.99 on a 2-year contract. If long-term commitment isn't the thing for you, however, the option of getting it for $27.49 per month with Verizon's EDGE program is still available.

The Icon is a fairly new representative to come from the Windows Phone camp, released on the 20th of February this year. It is very similar to the Lumia 930, offering a crisp 1080p picture over a 5" AMOLED screen (441 ppi), the capable Snapdragon 800 SoC, 2GB of RAM, and - in typical Nokia style – a 20 megapixel camera. The handset is only available in white.

If you've been itching to get a top-notch Windows phone, you may want to consider this offer. You can check out our comparison between the Icon, LG's G2 and Samsung's Galaxy S4 here.
