Same here, no issues. Love the new swype keyboard, especially that it support afrikaans. Also digging the Wi-Fi sharing.

Zero issues my side... Is my understanding correct if I say that the DP8.1 is the same version carriers will get to release at a later stage i.e this ain't no beta release?

That's how I understand it as well. It is basically just a way to circumvent the carrier testing and certification as far as I know.
Yup, was reading this last night as well.
Is there another way I can download to install offline? My 3G/WiFi/Phone itself is giving me issues the whole day.
It will try to download and then I get 80072F8F, 80072F76, 80072ee7, or 80072ee2 depending on whether I'm using 3g/wi-fi

Sadly it seems as if there is still no way to download big files via your carrier. You still need wifi access..

And the fm radio is still crap.. I need functions like auto tune and rds.

Yep, when Update 3 finally rolled out to the general public the only update I received was Nokia Black, no OS update

Yea and you can mix and match afrikaans and english as you please, works very well. Had to add a couple of words but most of it is there.

Is it my imagination or is Cortana getting annoyed with me, "Can't hear that", "Repeat, do you want to change the time, date, or description", "Couldn't hear what you said". :erm:

Perhaps it's your accent as cortana may only be able to understand the American drawl?

Three things I hate about the 8.1 design:
1. They moved the all games to the general app section
2. The Photo link goes straight to all photos, whereas I prefer to go direct to Albums.
3 They have still not included a 'select all' option to the email app
Otherwise, I never thought I'd use the Start screen background image, but it is actually growing on me.

Mostly it works astoundingly well, she just seems to get into a funny mood, is female after all
I like this: "Remind me to phone Joe at 10AM", adds a reminder etc.

Also been hoping for a select all in the mail. Something I do notice in mail is that it underline something like "Can we meet at 10 AM on Thursday". Clicking on the hyper-link will bring a pop-up asking if you want to add an appointment with the selected details. Don't now if this is standard or part of Cortana.
Can you post your Regional settings, Language and Keyboards? I've tried and Swype only recognizes English for me at.
I've got Keyboard:

Thanks!
