Any iPhone 4S Buyers here, as of now !

K

Any iPhone buyers, people who have already bought the iPhone 4S pls post your feedback. More Interestingly after you have used SiRi Extensively :mrgreen:

I am like dying to find out how siri performs with Indian or maybe Neutral Accent !

I don't think anyone in India will or should buy it as its not worth the price at all with Nexus Prime and Droid in the ring...also Siri is useless in India AFAIK as it is in beta stage with no local searches.

Agree.......Too costly and Siri is of no use to Indians. :cry:

Why Like in the SiRi Videos in U.S, will it not be able to point out say for e.g nearest pizza locations near my place ?

Not me. and wont ever recommend anyone to buy a 4s. Nexus Prime and the upcoming Galaxy SIII make much more sense. Even the current SII is lot better in my opinion comparing with 4S

I was just thinking what is the difference between SGS-2 and SGS-3 ?

Read these, posted by Digit themselves

Samsung Galaxy S III to feature Exynos - Mobile Phone | ThinkDigit News

Leaked Samsung Galaxy S III specs show - Mobile Phone | ThinkDigit News

The first link is latest. The second is older. The biggest/main difference is the the new phone will come will great hardware, storage,etc

^^Those are all rumors.GS3 is not coming anytime soon.
GS2 is powerful enough.
At present Android does not need any HW boost,it needs some more HW,SW integration.

why would I buy iPhone 4S when I can buy SGS2, Nokia 1100, and iPod Touch for the same price?

Sooner or Later, We'll have an app as good as (or better) SIRI on Android. IMO, SIRI is over-hyped. And.. and... You can get Siri on iPhone 4 as well. (The same one!) So what's the point in buying iPhone 4S?

It's a gimmick. 10-12 year old kids might like it.

So if someone is planning to buy the SGS-2 should he buy it now ? or should he wait for the launch of SGS-3 which could be perhaps early next year maybe first quarter ? It is rumoured to have a HD display with a much, much higher resolution then the SGS-2 !

^^ i don't think SG3 will be coming out so soon when 2 is doing a good job. i mean it don't make in sense to launch another flagship. it'll most likely come at Q2-Q3 2012.

People who wait, keep on waiting.

I'd buy and be done with it.

Will Siri work in our country?

I tried giving a shot to SiRi in one of the Apple authorised stores and I would say it does well as compared to the voice assistants that are currently available on Android it does recognise most of what you say but also misses a lot of what you say, so I would say it is a hit and miss...depends on individual reaction. Now to the original question of the OP here that will SiRi work in our country "YES" of course why not??

You'd have to roam around in a personal phone booth to have voice recognition work perfectly on the crowed streets on India

siri or similar voice recognization apps usefulness will last so long till they understand that the simple task can be performed manually & it'll require less time, hassle & ofcourse, less/no hit&miss :smile:

i have used iris and also siri on iphone 4s (my sis has iphone 4S , she bought from US, 200$ with contract)

siri has problems with indian accent and in US you have unlimited data plans compulsary whereas in india many people are not still comfortable with data plans... you can still find lot of android , iphone users using phones without data plans, and using internet on wifi only,, still i dont feel anything special about iphones, but something must be there special about iphones which i will come to know only after using it for some time..
now trying to jailbreak . unlock iphone 3g so that i can use with my airtel.

Agree 100% I tried it at a store where there were other customers along with me enquiring about other products so obviously there was some background noise had it been a little quiet place the words that I said it missed, it would have got it.So the bottom line is you have to find a quieter place, as someone has pointed out a phone booth :mrgreen:

I mean what I meant was you have to be louder for it to understand and pick up what you are saying that too if you have an foreign accent (For it being a one, Indian) had I been louder maybe it would have picked up the words that it missed.

Android has Speaktoit Assistant, which is excellent... but not very useful... I wonder for how long people would fancy Siri... It misses a lot of words, even Indian names or places are not recognized... you have a hard time using the functionality.

There will be fanboys who would fall for this expensive device which is not a value proposition at all... You money is better spent with Android or WP7 devices...

IMO Siri (+ similar gimmicks) and this thread is rubbish.

Locked as the thread isn't going anywhere at the moment. Circular discussions.

PM me if someone buys iPhone 4S and wants to post.
