I will sit back and wait to hear of your successes or failure before doing this lol

Yeah Im on 920 (unlocked UK CV rom), back to cogs again on the big 8.1 update.

Ooh the bootscreen is different.

If you are already on the dev preview then its just a case of updating twice through the normal system menu,
Mine went absolutely fine, My god I love the new keyboard.
Edit:With the extra tile space I no longer need to scroll my old start screen fits on perfectly. Unsure if I like things that small though.

IE on the phone is massively improved and overall it seems quicker.

Edit: One thing I have been waiting for a while is download images in your email and 8.1 has it.

 

[POB]

Add the English USA in languages. Make sure its first to get Cortana.

But I don't think my American Accent is that good. Bit iffy with speech recognition.

Yep I just got the sign up link, but its rather slow, I imagine their site is getting hammered right now, im at the agreement to let the app use my email and its jsut sitting spinning slowly.

My latest mess:

 

[cu3ed]

App studio page wont even load for me now....balls!

 

[Matteysan]

Actually like the looks of this update, I may have to try WP when i upgrade next year, Don't like the looks of some of the rumoured leaks for Android.

 

[POB]

Anyone got any other VPN options asides from IKEv2 ? It mentions downloading an SSL VPN app from the store, but nothing found.

Upgraded my L920, and it's fast. Added third row and icons are tiny. Figuring out how to open a tab in private mode for some hard core corn viewing lol

Also the tab in IE has synced stuff from the surfacepro which is awesome...
