Hi,

I'm in Nova Scotia, Canada and when I try to use Siri it loads and loads and then says, "I'm really sorry about this, but I can't take any requests right now. Please try again in a little while."

I rebooted and it didn't fix the problem. I just got my iPhone 4s (unlocked right from Apple) several weeks ago.
 
Siri has been a bit patchy for the past week. Maybe they're doing work to prepare for the upcoming launch. Reset network settings, and if that doesn't help, wait it out.
 
I was so excited to get my iPhone 4s so I could wed Siri but now I'm sitting here devastated listening to my friend talk to his google now :(
 
It was out for me a few days ago. I think they're doing some work, server-side for the release of iOS 6 where a ton more devices will be getting much more service out of Siri.

Think of it as a power nap for her :D
 
Siri has been doing strange stuff for the past couple of days.

I assumed they are doing work on the servers to prepare for iPhone 5 and iOS 6
 
When you say you rebooted, do you mean you shutdown and turned back on or force restarted the iPhone? Are you on 3G or wi-fi (or both) when this occurs?

I just noticed, it works on wifi but not when I'm on 3g! Is that Bell's fault?
