ScottC Posted October 16, 2011 Author Share Posted October 16, 2011 Same as I got Kazuma. I'm staggered at how quick it is It's noticeably quicker than the iPhone 4. What do you make of Siri? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letmeshowyou Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Really disappointed with Siri so far tbh. I haven't really pushed it too hard, but keep getting something along the lines of 'i do not understand' What's your take on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

letmeshowyou Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 well, they say it's not the finished product, so I'll reserve judgement for a little bit. I'm really liking the idea of asking it to read texts! Just messing around with changing the voices at the mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Doom Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I had my 4S delivered on Friday as a replacement for my 3GS & I'm really impressed so far. The girlfriend has an iPhone 4 and side by side you can tell it's loads quicker. Siri works really well, I don't even need to speak the queens English for it to understand. We spent yesterday asking it a barrage of crazy questions and some of the answers are really funny! I think my favourite So far is telling it 'I need to hide a body' it replies by asking you if you'd prefer reservoirs, swamps, dumps or mines lol! If you ask it 'who's your daddy' it replies 'You are, can we get back to work now'. There are some really funny ones if you search on google. Seems like the programers have a good sense of humor. In all seriousness though, I think this will change the way phones work & it's only going to get better with time. Without pressing anything I can hold the phone up to my ear and say 'remind me to buy some beer from the supermarket' it will reply with 'when do you want reminding' then I say '5pm' or 'in two hours' and that's it, job done, reminder set. If you let it know the location of your supermarket it will even automatically remind you when you get there. You can ask siri if you'll need an umbrella today & it will check the local weather and tell you if it's going to rain! Very clever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonathanc Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Had a play to today and compared to my current iPhone4 I think the most attractive feature is SIRI. 4S is more responsive but I am not a big gamer on the iPhone so I barely noticed it. The camera seems to be better too. I am still thinking if I should upgrade... I've heard rumours SIRI will be released for iPhone4 sometime in the future... Another thing I wonder if SIRI would work with the BT interface in my Audi. At the moment if I hold the Voice Command button it will activate the VC on my iPhone over BT in the car. It would be so cool if this could work with SIRI too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that the same as holding down the button on a Bluetooth headset? If it is that should work. When Siri is switched on it replaces the voice command you would normally get when holding down the home button. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I see, as per that article I would say its down to the 4s having something over the normal 4, as a quicker CPU and slightly better camera are not really worth the upgrade if you already have a 4. Speaking with someone in an O2 shop today I actually got some honest answers which was refreshing, they said if buying the phone outright like me then a 4 is better value than the 4S and if you already have a 4 they wouldn't bother upgrading. They also said if you know anyone abroad then the phone is cheaper and get them to ship it over so I am now looking into that, these answers made a change from the usual buy buy buy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
