Nokia Lumia 929 is about to make its debut at Verizon Wireless, after numerous rumors have suggested that the smartphone is likely to go on sale ahead of Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2014 trade fair, which is set to kick off in late February.

WPCentral reports that the Lumia 929 has just been listed on Verizon's test site, which suggests that the carrier is still testing the smartphone before making it official.

Given the fact that all the details showing up on Lumia 929's test site are subject to change, it's unclear how much of the information is accurate.

However, it appears that the device's codename has been confirmed, as the Windows Phone handset is listed as Nokia Lumia Icon. This is the internal name that Lumia 929 was tipped with several weeks ago.

The price of the handset is oddly set at $777 (€570) both outright and on 2-year agreements, which means that at least one (if not both) of the prices is wrong.

There isn't much listed on the phone's specs, but the short description of the device mentions that Nokia Lumia Icon comes with a 20-megapixel rear-facing camera and “single-finger zoom.”

According to the latest hearsay, the Lumia Icon should be equipped with a powerful 2.2GHZ quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal memory.

That's a lot of storage, but the bad news is that Nokia Lumia Icon won't come with microSD card slot for memory expansion.

As mentioned earlier, it boasts a 20-megapixel PureView camera with dual-LED flash, autofocus and full HD (1080p) video recording.

The smartphone will be powered by a 2150 mAh Li-Ion battery and will embed built-in Qi wireless charging technology.

Last but not least, Nokia Lumia Icon is said to pack a stunning 5-inch capacitive touchscreen display that should support full HD (1080p) resolution.

Other features might be included such as Wi-Fi, NFC (Near Field Communication) and Bluetooth 4.0. Stay tuned for more updates on the matter.
