Country varient CVBE

[afgzee]

Got a replacement lumia 930 from my insurance company, it says CVBE on the side, usually says CVGB since im in Great Britian, does anyone know what CVBE country variant it is? Looked a few places and cant find anything.

thanks.

Belgium CV? Or Benelux...

 

[afgzee]

it says CV Be Lux in the about section...

 

[afgzee]

could that be Luxembourg?

I believe that Benelux = Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg.

thanks.

so does that mean I wont have access to Cortana yet even though I selected United Kingdom in the language?

Will there be any difference me having GB firmware and this one?

thanks.

To access Cortana you have to set region to a country which has access (US, UK, ...). Also you have to set speech to that language. And that's it. It has nothing to do with software country variant.

Thank you. What about firmware updates? Will I receive them when they get released in that region or in GB?

 

[PepperdotNet]

Firmware updates are dependent on the product code of the firmware, nothing to do with your region settings.

I live in the UK and I bought my 930 from Amazon France so it came with French firmware so I changed it to the UK firmware.
Here is how I did it (links below) oh and the firmware I used was the top one on the second link.
