Remember when everyone was face timing that first day? Same thing with Siri. It is great to play with for a few hours the first day then it gets old and boring. Who else feels like they got robbed while updating to the 4S?
Got a tip for us?

But its so much more useful than facetime. I mean, you can use it to text while driving... Thats no novelty.

Actually I'm using FaceTime now more than ever. It took a long while for most of my friends and family to get a iPhone 4. When I first got my iPhone 4 I only knew one other person with one.

You have to actually "do" stuf with your phone for it to be useful. If you just text, surf the web, and watch media then it isn't going to help much.
I'm always making tasks and using the calendar in college so it's going to get a ton of use after class.
I have to partially agree with this. Siri is absolutely amazing technology but just like A Rube Goldberg machine then sometimes it's just faster to bypass the novelty and crack the egg yourself.
BTW. The other "cool to demo barely used app is iMovie. Remembwr how we all thoughr wed be making cool little videos for all our friends and families? Well how many did we actually make...
I picked up my IP4S this morning and then we left on a road trip. Siri ROCKS on a road trip. And, replying to emails, and sms while on the road and doing it safely? YAY for siri.
oh, ps: I use FaceTime DAILY.

My wife and I were asking it funny questions all night tonight.
I can't wait to use it more pratically tomorrow - like for directions and movie times and stuff.
I love Siri.

i think i will love the activate siri by placing phone to ear... need to call someone? make sure screen is on, then hold phone to ear "call home" badabing badaboom 
One place I see myself using it often? cooking. How many whatevers in a whatever, without getting fingerprints all over the screen? I'm there.
If you're bored this soon with something that you just started using it's because you want to be bored.
I thought Siri would work like Jarvis in Iron Man where its voice activated queries. SIRI, how many liters in a quart would be useful but if it requires touch then its not a good cooking companion. I use the iPad all the time and it can get messy.
As mentioned, FaceTime took a while to roll out to the masses. I was the only one of my close friends and family with an iPhone 4 for a while.
Siri doesn't require other people, just your own voice. It's actually really useful, especially when you don't want to type texts or emails, and for using your iPhone while driving. I'm really loving it.

Because you don't feel you will use Siri much you feel you were "robbed?" If thats what you consider being robbed it may be time to switch back to a clamshell to prevent future letdowns.
Agree 100% If the ONLY thing it did was take dictation for text and email it would totally be worth it. Very helpful..... One of first ways she/it helped me tonight = Me: "How late is Best Buy open?" Siri: "I'm sorry, I don't know but here is your local Best Buy" and boom there is map with location, address and phone # Correct me if I'm wrong but there would be NO faster way to check this info than using Siri
it will really benefit my blind wife. typing is so slow for her. with voiceover it would be more useful for most. ask where are you siri brings it up and tells you. it would be good if you could open aps with siri too.
