Windows Phone 8.1: Cyan Update

So I just recieved the Cyan update for my Lumia 520 here in Australia, just going through all the settings and making sure everything is set to my liking at the moment.

 

What do you other WP8.1 users think of it? I like the new notification system (the pull-down one), I haven't got to trying out Cortana, although I haven't seen it yet. Is it in this update or a future one?

Welcome to The FutureTM  where phones have pull down menus to view all of their notifications

 

It's amazing how far technology has progressed this year. 2011 is truly remarkable.

I have the HTC 8S with the 8.1 preview and I am enjoying it so far. The features that I like are the dropdown notifications, swipe keyboard, and having a background on the start screen to make it less dull.

To be honest, that swipe keyboard annoys me, it doesn't really seem to work that well.

Is it surprising to anyone else that the music player is still shit?

 

Yeah, not surprising at all.

Cortana comes with WP8.1 but it is not available in all countries. It is available in USA, China and UK right now in beta form. India, Australia, and Canada are now in an alpha stage/early adopter program of Cortana  where users can opt-in and…try Cortana using English language models from the US and the UK. I don't know how to get in that but I know you can also change your location to USA and use Cortana. I don't know much about this Alpha stage.
