WP8.1

Anyone know what the update today changes?

I believe you can set a static ip with the latest update.

Seems interesting.

Glaucus · 22 Sep 2014 at 19:17

Looks terrible, not that I'm that interested, unless it's focused on fitness, so accurate heart rate etc.

I think it looks quite good ! The tile interface should work very well with that.

Brenn47 · 22 Sep 2014 at 20:37

It's supposed to be *affordable*. I quite like it.

Microsoft would not their name on the front of a watch.

Possibly a windows logo, but no name.

Glaucus · 22 Sep 2014 at 20:52

Good point, Microsoft isn't even displayed on their tablets. Let alone in the front.

Someone's mock up render,

Brenn47 · 22 Sep 2014 at 21:45

Just realised it's just a mock up from some German watch maker site. Still like the tiles though.

I just got update 1 for wp8.1 on my 930. Official Cortana support for the UK.

I'm waiting for this to come through on mine. Which network are you on?

Three but I got it unlocked from unlocked-mobiles.

Ah ok. I have a feeling EE will drag their heels over it but we'll see. Just want the extra functionality from Cortana without having to mess around with the languages.

could be, or this could be part of the new MS branding for it's mobile division.

A windows phone though, might just tip the balance to me getting a 930/1030 which ever is available over another android device next.

I ordered a 930 yesterday, which has apparently been delivered today. I have had Android phones for years, currently on a Note 3, and really fancy a change.....that said, I also have a pre-order in for a Note Edge

The 930 is the first Win phone that has really wowed me, and it does seem that the apps situation is getting better all the time. That said, there are a few I use that seemingly do not currently exist, such as Tado, Sonos, NatWest Business Banking......

I got the Cortana update overnight on my EE 930 so I expect you won't have to wait long.

What is this 1030 you speak of???? It's almost upgrade time and I really have no idea what to get, the 930's out of the question because the lack of the glance screen. I was kind of leaning towards the 830 due to the mSD card slot & glance.

1020 replacement, however no dates, nothing official etc. So I wouldn't hold any hope. It's also getting a bit late to release new models as wp9 is rumoured to be released around April time, but that's also just a rumour.

Hopefully a new mega camera phone like the 1020, but as said, nothing official yet just rumours.

Do we know if the Current phone's like the 930 will see W9 ?

wouldn't want to get one then be stuck on old version.

No one knows, there is 't any back history.
What they have said is the os will be supported for 18minths. So as 8.1 just got released it will be officially supported for another 18months, well about 16months now.
