Re: Initial thoughts on Developer Preview of WP8.1
Ok, just downloaded for my Lumia 925... pretty impressed! My favorite features so far have been: Separate volume for ringer/media, and how it auto searches emails for dates in order to auto set up calendar events (REALLY missed that from my iPhone).
Cortana question/responses still need some work - she sends me to 'Bing' results wayy too much. I have asked questions like "what is my name?" and "How far is it to Gainesville, Georgia?" and she sends to Bing. However if I ask "Can I get directions to Gainesville, Georgia?", then she sends me to HERE Drive, as I would expect. But this is just getting used to natural language and not a big deal, seeing how she is a beta.
I havent played with any of the WIFI sense, etc. But I look forward to playing more today!
Oh, and having battery life percentage in the notification center? Much better!
