Re: Developer Preview Program - What Exactly Is It?
I am really, really disappointed. According to some Devs who have been playing with the emulator, it seems that Cortana is US only for now (which I expected and understand). However, it seems that for all other regions, while Cortana is disabled, it disables "Quiet hours" too. I don't understand why I living in India cannot have the ability to only allow certain calls to come through when asleep etc.
Also, unlike WP 8.0, where you could keep a different Phone region and a different "Search and browser" region, which affected Bing, on 8.1, there's only one master region you can set. So either I change my region to India and lose a host of functions including Cortana, Quiet hours, Bing music search or I change my region to US and screw everything else up, including the News app, Store currency etc. Kill me.
