Yes, except that I see $ as currency, and any India specific apps don't appear upfront.
Whatever India specific apps I had purchased earlier, are automatically re installed for me.

So we need to live with US time (CST/EST) in order to get cortana. And of course, we can not turn on the location.
Are you facing any App issues since your location is off? And would you mind to give a brief review of your Cortana Experience?
Final question: Does it need a soft reset in order to change the location/language to US?

Sorry for putting many questions & thank you so much for your help

Does it need soft reset to change everything to US or just a restart?
How are your location specific apps work as the location need to be turned off?
Finally, please tell us your experience with Cortana?

Sorry for having so many questions and thank you so much for your responses

Because there are only 12 iPhone variants to test and upgrade but >100 Windows Phone 8 device variants. Sounds wrong I know, but the carrier customization (different radio firmware, carrier reporting apps and boot logos and installed apps) mean there a lot more variants of each phone type. Sure there may only be say 20 phones, but when each one has say 20 different firmware's, that's a lot of testing going on (e.g. 20x20 = 400 variants).

Now if Microsoft didn't permit so many carrier tweaks then it could be like an iPhone, but half the delays are due to the low volume not making carriers have a high importance to test along with the sheer number of variants that have to be signed off before the updates are pushed out.

At least unlike Android even 2 year old phones are all going to basically be updated to the latest firmware and gain the latest features.

The REAL reason service providers want to "test" the software/firmware is to confirm that the OEMs didn't put something in there to circumvent their services, thus reducing their cash cow which is DATA. Remember when Skype came out on phones, and the ability to make calls on Wi-Fi was blocked? No more "testing" is needed. DP has already been on their network for months. But, since they are now selling a phone that has 8.1/Cyan, they need to delay "testing" to give it time to sell.

A money grab.

I belive it's a shame that Cortana works only in US, MS should make it available all raound the world as soon as we are all waiting for it...

At least you should support the big guys in the first step, like Siri...

As I said, just patience. As far as the rumors say, GDR2 will add Cortana in more countries, so it's developing pretty quick.

yes "AT LAST" and "THE LAST" to release again! no wonder everyone wants to leave EE.

 

[Donna Gorman1]

I understand it has nothing to do with you on when each device gets it's update, but I could scream thinking that Iraq, and those members of ISIL who have beheaded 2 American journalists, have the Lumina 920 update before people in the U.S.

You are on, Decaf! My money is on Verizon and my 928!

EE's faster than T-Mobile US. Neither of their (supported >_>) handsets have Cyan, nor is it on any other US device except for most of AT&T's phones.

Go to settings and list your OS Version under the about section. If you aren't on DP then the next step would be to see what ROM is on the phone because it may be from another location. In settings go to extras and info then list the manufacturer name under more info.

Here is a screenshot from my L920. What does it tell you?
