I've had my iPhone 4S for 1 week (as of tomorrow), and haven't used Siri once. I might at some point but there hasn't been a single instance where I felt the need to ask my phone for something. Honestly, I don't know what the purpose of Siri is.
 
i forgot about it for awhile but ive been using it a bit recently for location based reminders and stuff.
 
For a lot of internet based tasks, I can open the phone and find out more comprehesive information just as fast (if not faster) as Siri. But...

The Reminders App is GREAT, but manually entering them in, then going to set a alert for the Reminder is such an annoyance and SIRI can do that WAY faster. So I use SIRI for reminders, alarms, and use it to help me in my car through my cars hands free system.
 
Very rarely. I would rather input calendar events, reminders, etc. myself. The few times that I do use her, she usually interprets my instructions incorrectly.
 
The voice recognition is horrible on my 4S. I would love to use it more. I have an iPad3 and voice dictation works really well. I don't get that.
 
Siri is overrated, yea it'll be better on the iPhone 5 but you still probably won't use it.
 
Anything that is a gimmick and wastes precious battery gets turned off/disabled quickly on my phones.

Siri is one of those.
 
Most of the time, I only use Siri when I want to listen to a different song without taking my iPhone out of my pocket.
 
I use it for texting and spelling. By spelling I mean if I'm doing something and have no idea how to spell a word I just tell Siri and she puts it in text. Then goes on about a web search or some bs.
 
Very very rarely. For whatever reason she just doesn't get my voice or accent.(combo of Appalachian and Southern so yeah, it's different)
 
I use Siri exclusively over Bluetooth.

Calling Contacts and setting alarms mostly. Occasional Text Dictation too.
