I am, but I do wonder why. The ability to read incoming texts...where? Must be regional as I'm not seeing anything.

Perhaps it's on a limited release, not going out to all beta testers. Which seems bizarre. Perhaps there's little purpose to being a beta tester here in the UK.

"Cortana for Android beta can now read your incoming texts aloud" so reads the latest news. But does it? Is this yet another region specific (i.e. US only!) feature?

Thanks for that. Think I was having a bad day because I got it sorted soon after my original post.

Hi, can anyone help with what may be something obvious. My XZ Premium will auto-select a WiFi network that has been previously saved on the device i.e. my home network, or my office network. However, if I have two saved networks at any given location is there a simple way of connecting to one...

I thought as much, Mark. I take that I would therefore have to repeatedly sync Outlook contacts with Android contacts every time I added/amended them, if I wanted to have personalised tones. Otherwise just make do, and wait until one day perhaps MS might add this feature to Outlook.

Zac Bowden's article (on Android Central and Windows Central) pretty much said the same - SwiftKey lags and needs significant improvement. Can't say that I've had any major issues with it, but maybe I'm not trying hard enough. Might give the Blackberry keyboard a go, just as a comparison.

So far, in my limited experience with Android, this may be a common complaint from previous Windows Phone/Windows Mobile users. But with good reason. The Android experience doesn't come close. My phone stays in my pocket always while driving. Absolutely no visual or physical interaction. The...

Perhaps this could be added as an enhancement in a future software update. RAW files are just so useful.

Pt 2 I have to say that I'm not convinced it's entirely an Android related problem, but moreso a problem with outlook.com. The main problem seems to be that Outlook on my phone identifies my account, but will not authenticate despite all of my other MS account settings (OneNote, OneDrive...
