Microsoft has released its operating system, the Windows 10 Mobile, to some of its eligible devices after much delay. The software was supposed to be rolled out in December last year, but was delayed by a couple of months before finally being seeded this week. It has now emerged that Verizon's Nokia Lumia Icon, which was released in 2014 may get the software update.
Responding to a query by ZDNet's Mary Jo Foley on Twitter if Nokia Lumia Icon would get Windows 10 Mobile update, Windows Insider head Gabriel Aul said that "it is under consideration."
Microsoft has announced the roll-out of Windows 10 Mobile update to its devices, but didn't reveal the handsets that will get it, which means only a few eligible ones will receive it initially.
