Starting just a few minutes ago at 1 p.m. ET, Microsoft has begun to roll out another OS update for those utilizing the Preview for Developers program.
Heading into Settings and Phone Update, users can tap the Check for Updates button to begin downloading the latest version of Windows Phone 8.1.1. Part of this update should enable Cortana for those in Europe, which was announced this morning. As usual, we also expect some bug fixes and optimizations as well.
Cortana will be available in France, Italy, Germany, and Spain. Sidenote: this developer program is the best thing to happen to Windows Phone in a long time. Good job, Microsoft.
Crickets …
The Windows Phone development community would have posted but he had to get his hair cut.
HA!
The developer builds have been pretty solid for the most part. Can’t over emphasize just how easy it is to run them on a Windows Phone, no cables, flashing or faffing required!
Almost perfect indeed. If only:
1) Firmware updates were included (Cyan/Denim for Nokia)
2) Release notes were better
Yeah, I do agree on the release notes front!
I can confirm that except for Cortana there is at least one other minor but useful feature: Cellular Data toggle in quick actions
Only if you are on a Nokia device it seems.
I own a Samsung Ativ S and a couple of months ago the update would break the camera software and this very upgrade apparently sends the phone in a reboot loop.

Luckily I didn’t receive this update yet and I have now switched of Developer Preview.
Seems nobody in Microsoft owns an Ativ S!
