For Cortana and Facebook notifications, the Band needs WP developers preview ver: 8.10.14192.x enabled phone. I called in to MS support today when I wasn't able to use Cortana via Lumia 1520 that doesn't have developers preview, but has the latest official WP 8.1 only.

Put the absolutely free and fully functional DP on your phone and you'll have everything you need to use the device and software. Easy fix.

Fully functional DP is not the same as a fully functional Cyan update

You don't need cyan to use the band. I have an icon on Verizon, I want cyan but that's not what we are talking about. You need 8.1.1 to run the band, that's available through dev preview.

Thankfully that sales associate was talking out of their ****. Works perfectly with my dev preview Icon.
