[Vicky Krishnatrai]

Attention!!!!
Hello guyz,
I want to ask you all that can we also get Cortana out of united states region. (region change trick) on upcoming Lumia cyan update which is coming this summer. Because a majority of Windows mobile are out of united states.
All developers are invited on this thread.

Yes you will be able to use cortana after cyan update.

How can you say? Is there any specification?

Specification ? Why will cyan update block cortana ??
Cortana is from Microsoft not. Y Nokia so they have no right to remove it from the update. You can anytime change your region to United States and enjoy cortana :wink;

Welocome.

does changing region has any disadvantage??

 

[Vicky Krishnatrai]

Yes, but not more.
You wont be able to buy apps and suggestions will you get from united states in store.
And you must speak with Cortana in US English, which is very difficult to English speakers from India.

 

[harsh mathur1]

many apps use location to work... soif i change my location to US .. wont they get effected?

 

[Vicky Krishnatrai]

As I said not so much, even m also using my device in US region but there is no any difficulty I am facing.

 

[Vicky Krishnatrai]

You may feel yourself in US for a while, but never miss guide that you are out of India. Lolz. Enjoy you WP 8.1

I'd like a few clarifications.

The Firmware that Nokia rolls out is country specific. So, when Nokia Cyan is released for my Lumia 720 in India, I need to change the region again to India(Currently using US), download the firmware, install it.

Once the installation is done, I can change my region to US and still use Cortana?

And to those wondering, Cortana is a dream to use even in India. Understands really, really well!

Lumia cyan update will start rolling out from 30th may. And everybody can get Cortana by changing region.
