Just upgraded to WP 8.1 and everything seems to work properly:
- Easy to upgrade to 8.1 (but a little bit surprised as there were TWO upgrades: first one took about 20minutes; second one about 30min; but after that everything is fine).
- NO Data loss, everything is there and ready to use!
- Great UI with snappy responses.
- Battery life same as before (just one day of normal usage, so just a quick observation only).
- Action Center works well, just exactly what Android and iPhone have done.
- Cellular Network seems a little bit confused: Initially, there was a NO SERVICE situation. Tried to turn phone on/off a few times but no help. But after manually selected the network, it works ( Cellular SIM >> SIM setting >> Network Selection).
I have been an Android user for the last 2 years (a Galaxy Nexus with stock ROMs & CM mods). An Android just gets slower and slower after each Android upgrades; and I have to manually select the right ROM for best performance (which is quite a technical and time-consuming process for beginners). So when upgrading to WP 8.1, what strikes me the most is only 1 OS upgrade for all of devices, and it took me very little time to research and do the upgrade (1/5th of time compared to Android custom ROM flash). Cool !
However, the problem is the WP app ecology: no Dropbox, no proper FREE video player, no Map for Japan, no Youtube. Just fix this and WP's gonna be the market leader.
