Tell Microsoft how Cortana can make your life easier, enter to win a Lumia 635

Microsoft is - once again - hosting a sweepstakes that allows US residents to win a Nokia Lumia 635 smartphone. All you need to do to enter the contest is answer this question: "How can Cortana make your life easier?" You don’t have to search for elaborate answers, because Microsoft offers you answer variants to choose from, including "She sets quiet hours so I can relax at night," or "She sets reminders so I don't forget my mom's birthday."

To enter the sweepstakes you’ll have to visit the Nokia US Facebook page at the source link below (official rules are available there, too). You get extra shots to win if you invite your Facebook friends to join the contest - which, by the way, ends on August 13. There will be 5 winners, each receiving a Nokia Lumia 635, plus a mysterious "Cortana lunch box."

Already available to buy in the US, the Lumia 635 is a cheap Windows Phone 8.1 handset, but it’s one of the firsts to come with Cortana pre-installed.

To learn more about the new smartphone, check out our Lumia 635 review here.

They need to think long term ; they need to keep cortana o WP alone to leverage the paltform , get more costumers -> more developers -> more apps

You don't work in the banking sector you work in the trolling sector. I can think of banking apps just off the top of my head like Bank of America, Chase, Ally, Mint, USAA, Wells Fargo etc but sure it has no banking apps. Your trolling is a repetitive as it gets, get outside go get some fresh air, take a break from your trolling addiction.

I don't like MS WP Everyone has right, for freedom of speech I don't like dictatorship You are an epic MS fanboy. And a jealous one, who can't accept, when others draws an inference against your beloved platform, brand and OS Vain and jealousy is in you You need help, not me. Your a fanboy, I'm not.

Yes but its not everyday someone who doesn't like an OS for whatever reason come on the internet article after article bashing, its pathetic. I'm sure there are many individuals who dont like Android or iOS but they are not obsessed with bashing them. Try as you may there is no justification for your behavior, grow up. I rather be a fan than a troll anyday of the week.
