My Icon has been my favorite phone I have owned. The one feature I do miss is a replaceable battery. I do plan to hang on to this phone for a while.
Day 1 .... get yourself on the preview for developer and update it to the latest update, so that you get the benefits of native folders on your home screen.
Likewise Apps I recommend are
CAL (superior calendar app + widget/live tile)
METROTUBE (best youtube client on windows phone)
Tapatalk has been updated for 8.1 and is great now
Collector - my favourite news aggregator
Cortana works great - but limited country support. I had to change my region from Ireland to UK to get it - despite my keyboard and language being set to English UK regardless.
Oh and download ALL nokia's apps for camera / driving etc.... They are great.
I was going to wait for the 1020 successor until Llyod pointed out the successor seems to have been cancelled in the recent round of heavy cuts .... Hence went ahead and got the 930.
Well thats sad to hear!
The 930 is pretty pricey right now for me to try and grab one off contract but the 1020 might be found pretty cheap if I search high and low.
Microsoft is about to release a bunch of Nokia devices centered around the camera in early August.
Bought a Lumia 1520 for a great deal from a MacRumor member (awesome dude
) and will use it as my mini tablet for when I travel a lot.
I really love the WP OS from a productivity standpoint and the bigger screen will be a great addition sidekick to my 635.
Still waiting to see what happens for an ATT flagship in the future but will be good on these 2 for a while.

I have a Lumia 920. I love the OS, the UI is extremely snappy even on old hardware, and the camera is pretty great (much better than my HTC One's camera).
The problem is that most third-party apps are just awful. Even my HTC One with its constant scroll lag feels a thousand times more advanced than the 920 when I use an app like Rdio or Foursquare.
And that's just for apps that actually exist on Windows Phone - never mind all the ones that don't.
We'll see if the situation improves with WP9, but I don't see things changing any time soon.
