Windows phone 8.1 update for non-nokia devices

Anonymous

Hi Everyone!

I have a HTC 8x and I've been waiting for the 8.1 update like everyone else. While the new info from O2 was really helpful, it doesn't say anything about non-Nokia devices so I was wondering if anyone has any information about it?

lol.... i haven't got past all the simple stuff yet !!

Opaque live tile....
Drag down from top of screen.....
Cortana!!.....

Taking screenshot is different now....power+up vol buttons!

People laid out slightly different...

Quiet time - inner circle (parts of Cortana)....

Have barely scratched the surface tho' tbh.

Oh "shape writing" or squishy writing as i call it...so quick to pick up....

I added windows phone how to page to favourites...

Couple of additionals......battery...now, my battery is the original battery - and the phone itself has had its' fair share of abuse....but it does appear to be a bit more "hungry" as far as battery use is concerned...

Also... (I didn't notice this in v8.0) app history shows every app you've ever installed on yr phone(s)!!

Managed to re-install an old, but much loved, BBC news app (pulled cos the Beeb are a*holes) - happy days.!!!
