Is Siri Gimmicky?

I've only had mine for about 3 weeks, but I find myself using it more rather than less. Perfect to do stuff while driving, I can text - just can't read the replies while driving, too bad Siri can't read those to me.

You can turn on reading in accessibility.

I use Siri primarily for adding reminders and texting.

I just got a Bluetooth speaker for my car that activates Siri so I use it all the time. I use it to make calls and send text messages with my Bluetooth.

That's pretty much all I use it for minus the text messages.

I'm waiting for it to not be in beta anymore, then I might start using it again

I use Siri constantly for the reminders with my job. I remotely manage 20 people and the reminder and appointment creation is awesome on Siri. No more manually setting tasks, just tell Siri and she never forgets!

I use it all the time for setting reminders and sending texts (especially while I'm riding my bike).

Just a few days ago, I was visiting family in another state. I was flying Southwest, and you can print your boarding pass 24 hours ahead of time to get a better spot on the plane. My mother said she'd set a reminder on her phone so I'd know to do it as soon as I could. Her and my brother (both with androids) were futzing with their phones, trying to set the reminder at the appropriate time, while I just told siri to do it. Took me about 5 seconds to set the reminder, while it took my mother over a minute

Either your mother is slow or you're exaggerating. I have an Android device and the 4S...sure Siri is quicker...but it doesn't take that long on Android...

I'm praying that most people will quit messing with it as a party trick so that we can use it for things like setting reminders, sending texts, and moving appointments.

I think that time is gone...
