So Microsoft has finally after months and months released Windows 10 update for mobile devices with a caveat that it is up to the carriers to push it out to their customers.
So what I would like to know is when will Verizon push out the update to my phone which I know is fully capable of handling the upgrade?
I know that when Microsoft release 8.1 Verizon never pushed out the update (for some unknown reason) as I was forced to upgrade to 8.1 via Microsoft Developers app, and 8.1 ran perfectly fine on my then old HTC M8, I now have the Lumia 735 which I specifically purchased with the knowledge that it would get the update to Windows 10 (mobile).
So when is Verizon going to send the new update to our devices?
Do not be jerks by not releasing it to your customers!

Thanks, missed your device in the initial post.
You'll have to wait to see if and when VZW will release the update for the 735. There will be no response here as to if or when.

If the device isn't listed here, Supported phones for Windows Insider Preview - Microsoft Windows then it's not a Verizon issue but a Microsoft one. Like the Icon isn't on that list so we're [removal required by the Verizon Wireless Terms of Service] for now.

If you have the Lumia 735 you need to install the "Upgrade Advisor" app from the app store. This app will upgrade your device to Windows 10. No carrier is pushing this windows 10 out OTA in the USA.. every one has to install that Upgrade Advisor app. It clearly says that on the Microsoft page.

Which I have installed on my phone, but seems odd that it would say that it isn't sure that my phone is supported when their web-site says otherwise.

Keep trying. Microsoft is rolling this out now. I am really not sure if Verizon has to give their blessings or not. Unlike the Icon, 928, and 822, the 735 is not limited to just Verizon. Let's hope it gets pushed soon. Would like to know when it does. I may switch from the 928 to the 735, as it looks like the end of the road for anything other than the 735.

same on my 735. What gives? Is Verizon holding this up? I may just join the insider program and get it that way.
Very ready to say goodbye to windows phones if I have to go through more waiting.

I rolled back to 8.1 last night and like you downloaded upgrade advisor. It got the same message! it's got to be Verizon. MS said only unlocked phones and Verizon tells me my phone is unlocked!

Well if it is an "if and when" upgrade for Verizon, would it not be better to just use the insider program to download the latest fast build and then switch to preview build for the final release?
I'll give it till tomorrow and if Verizon does not have the update, I will go insider. Seems a really poor upgrade strategy on both MS and Verizon's part.
The new google phone service is starting to look real good.

The problem is, for the phones Microsoft didn't list official eligibility for, they might stop targeting those phones for future insider builds.
I'm on the Lumia 735 myself, a phone that was advertised everywhere as eligible far in advance, and the upgrade advisor says the upgrade isn't available for mine either. Not sure what's going on, but I'm hoping that it's still in the process of rolling out given a large reason for choosing this phone was the promise of this upgrade. I'm patient, but confirmation that it's coming would be nice, I'm just nervous about Verizon and Microsoft's sketchy relationship right now.

NOT waiting for this [removal required by the Verizon Wireless Terms of Service] between MS and VZW. Using insider preview and just finishing up installing w10
release .164 final.
Absolutely ridiculous on VZW's part.

Microsoft is the one deciding which phones are getting the update. Verizon or the other carriers have nothing to do with the decision.
I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.

The disclaimer on the page detailing the upgrade suggests pretty much anything can be a factor, carriers included.
"1 The availability of Windows 10 Mobile as an upgrade for existing Windows Phone 8.1 devices will vary by device manufacturer, device model, country or region, mobile operator or service provider, hardware limitations, and other factors."
At present time, they do list the Lumia 735 as an eligible device, but I want to emphasis that I'm not pointing fingers, just curious among the others here if it's on the roadmap, or if a roadmap even exists.

Yes, Microsoft made the decision not to update the 928 and Icon. However, this was done because Verizon needs to update the firmware for these phones, and approve the W10M update. Microsoft cannot just push the updates out, and without the firmware updates, issues will continue to linger. After phones are officially updated to W10M, hopefully carriers will no longer be roadblocks for getting updates. Hopefully the 735 will get any firmware updates that it needs for the W10M update and Verizon allows the update. The 735 is not limited to Verizon, so it is possible that Verizon will not do what they need to do to allow the update.

Awe come on! Verizon has had months to update any firmware. W10 mobile has been coming out forever!
The Lumina is an MS phone so the firmware should be within the WP upgrade. I just installed on
my Verizon Branded Lumina 735 and works flawlessly. (but actually don't see what the big deal is vs 8.1 so far ). It is though actually faster than before. IMHO this is a continuing snub between VZW and MS. Actually, because of this when IPhone 7 comes this fall, I'm switching. MS is really slipping. WP market share, total lack of apps and W10 for PC delayed updates makes me wonder what is the MS goal.- Mark as New

There's no confirmation that the 928 or Icon need firmware updates. Microsoft stated that some device may need an updated firmware but declined to provide said devices. My Icon runs fine with the last release to the insiders (which is the same build Microsoft is rolling out).
Plus the official list of devices that Microsoft said will be getting Windows 10 Mobile is it. There will be no 'second' wave of devices getting get it. Here is why the Lumia 1020 (and likely other phones) are not getting Windows 10 Mobile | Windows Cen...
So us Icon users are SOL with a official (non-Insider) release and are left out when it comes to the next wave of releases, Redstone. The devices that are officially getting Windows 10 Mobile update will be inline for Redstone.
