I don't think it'll reach the 625. Hey Cortana requires a Qualcomm 800, or a sufficiently powerful chipset, apparently. As such, I don't expect it to reach the 625, which has an older chipset.

You have to have a chip with a separate low power background task section that can be "always listening". Only the new phones have this.

Personally, hitting search is just as easy, I see people trying to do "ok google now" and by the time they are done yelling at their phone I could have done 3 searches.

No. This is explained in more detail here:

I would try it by a special hardware I may build when connected to my Lumia 520 would trigger Cortana by speech but now I can't unless WP 8.1 update 2 is released because of a rumor that it would support hid.
