re: WC 100K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

One doubt, We can get US specific Bing features by changing phone region to US. Can we get Cortana the same way???

I sort of doubt it will be that simple. Also, being completely honest, I don't think we should have to change our regional settings to use something that should be available to everyone at the same time.

Then, what do you suggest we do??

You'll probably still have Cortana but not the voice part. That's a guess. Would be stupid to not install the function in WP8.1 on all phones.

I have a feeling Cortana is more intelligent and would be able to recognise that you're not in the right region.

I'm still shocked that it not even coming to the UK where there more shares than the US and with have the same language so nothing change.

I know somebody said MS will have to integrate Bing services to it but still that shouldn't be a hard task for MS.

In US language is English (US)
In UK language is English (UK)
In India language is English(India)

Can't they just create a single Language named English and release it for countries where English is used??

US, UK, Canada and Australian English are all a bit different. Not sure about India but I'd assume it's similar to the UK?

I'm guessing the basic features of Cortana will be there but I don't know. That's just a guess. I thinking that just the voice part will be missing.

Cortana is a feature I probably will only rarely use so it's not a big deal to me anyway.

I will also not use it much often. People will think I'm crazy talking to my phone!!!

No they can't because there difference between each one that another reason why it take a while to delivery Cortana.

Exactly. I doubt many people use any of the voice functions on their phones, especially when they're out in public. Maybe at home or in the car they can act like it's Star Trek but in reality not many people are going to use the voice dictation.
