Windows Phone 8.1 Rolling Out to Lumia Devices Starting Today

Windows Phone 8.1 brings with it a number of notable improvements and in our review we felt that they were all changes for the better, making for a more complete OS.

So what's coming with the new version of Windows Phone? First off, Action Center finally brings a unified notification system and quick access to settings via a pull down shade. The keyboard has also been updated to allow swipe typing, the tiles of the home screen can now share one background image, and you can also adjust how many columns are shown on the home screen. Cortana is also included for those in the United States, adding a virtual assistant that's a combination of Apple's Siri

and Android's Google Now feature.

Owners of the Lumia 1520 and Lumia Icon will be getting some extra features as well, including enhanced audio recording when capturing video and more robust camera capabilities. These two smartphones will also get Microsoft's Screen Share technology, letting you share content from your phone to a smart TV or projector.

The Lumia Cyan update with Windows Phone 8.1 starts rolling out worldwide today and the company states that it will be available for all Windows Phone 8 Lumia devices in the coming weeks. To check out the status of your update, take a look to see if it is available for your device and carrier.
