Windows Phone 8.1

The wife likes Siri a lot for adding stuff to the calendar and reminders "when I get home remind me to ...", it seems pretty reliable unlike the pre-Cortana voice recognition on WP7/8 which is terrible - I use it for calling people but nothing else.

Doesn't Cortana do all the processing on the device unlike Siri which requires an internet connection?

Just checked, seems to do the voice processing online, won't register any words if the connection is disabled.

I must have mis-read, unless I was reading about a future upgrade or something. Thanks for testing.

I got a 930 (bright orange!) the other day - had a 800 and then when that met it's end on a rock in the alps I bought a cheapo 520 which is a great phone. Like the 520 on WP8.1 it's a great improvement on 8 and 7.8 and I can't wait for Cortana to be released in the UK at some point soon.
