Cortana has become self-aware and is mapping humanity's weak points in order to carry out earth's imminent destruction.

Same on my ATIV S, been set to UK since I installed the DP as well.

Just found this post on Neowin: http://www.neowin.net/news/cortana-coming-to-windows-phone-81-in-the-uk-this-month

Seems like Cortana may be in the UK earlier than expected :smile:

I also found this on the UK Windows Phone webpage, updated today: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-gb/how-to/wp8/apps/meet-cortana

Same to Portuguese WP website: Conhe?a a Cortana para o Windows Phone | Procedimentos Windows Phone (Portugal)

I don't think it means anything...

True - while it still says in the "what's available" page that Cortana is still US only - the fact Cortana is now being mentioned on the UK (and other how-to pages) is a positive sign. Would be a bit strange giving instructions on how to do something that is inaccessible for most at present.

I have the same thing in my data sense. i'm in Belgium and have region set to Belgium and language set to English.

 

[sejgiul]

Oh under data sense I can see it too. Sorry, i was looking at battery sense

 

[Silviu Bogusevschi]

Hope Cortana will be released ASAP in all english speaking countries

I'm in Ireland and I got it too... Cortana: Info Gathering... Awesome! Hope it will be out soon!

She needs to learn about UK football (soccer) match results before she'll be much good in the UK. I was there and did a comparison with a friends Nexus... Cortana didn't know the scores he ask for. Probably cricket too for UK/India/AUS

Now that should be entertaining!
"Cortana, what's the latest on Man United?"

"I did not find anything called Men United but did find men only bars. Here are the nearest ones from your location."

Jesus, what would Cortana think of a strong Cork accent? Saying that I'm from Wexford and I know a few people down there that it might have a problem with as well.

Cortana is simply switched off. Click on the search button and type Cortana Settings.

Give her some time to adapt I'm in Cork 4 months already and I begin to understand what do people want from me.

I was thinking, when Cortana is released in the UK, will it still be voiced by Jen Taylor or will it be a British person?

I think it would still be Jen... wouldn't be Cortana otherwise, and they'd have to employ someone else to do the same stuff and it would take even longer to release - especially if they had to do that for each region.

Nothing in mine.
