As I mentioned in the original article, there is nothing wrong with Siri everyone is just talking to her wrong.

yeah phone arena...when a problem occurs on android go full..

but when apple is concerned dont give apple hard time..

why do you put a beta service on a flagship product?

6. iamcc posted on 04 Nov 2011, 08:31 1

They seem to be giving Apple as hard a time as they can...

In reality, it IS a beta service. They dedicated an article to the fact that there was an outage and even mentioned that Apple has still not acknowledged (publicly) that there was one.

That's really as far as this can go... I think the difference is usually the Android issues are security related which is much easier to write about.

Honestly, I think Phone Arena does a very good job of being unbiased (recently) between iOS and Android.

i dont think so dude... phonearena just gives us info about everything man... they cover negative and the positive.... there not being unbias at all... they report bad stuff about android and every other company that acts up...

10. gotti88 posted on 04 Nov 2011, 08:46

its the users that down apple and android... its peoples personal opinion i just think u taking things a little personal....

okay.. show me one article when they criticized apple.. none right ? .. . PA never misses an opportunity to criticize android,google,samsung.. but on the other hand if there is any problem with apple they would try to find solutions to the problem instead.. . isnt it discrimination ???? ... PA would never admit that iphone has lost its top spot.. its android era now & samsung is the top smartphone maker.

now this is very true every time

11. DROIDX0430 posted on 04 Nov 2011, 08:48 8

Maybe it's from the lack of power--dual core, 800 mhz with 512mb of ram

12. gotti88 posted on 04 Nov 2011, 08:49 3

lol!!!!!! lmao!!!!!

13. Sniggly posted on 04 Nov 2011, 09:04 3

Well, the crisis is over. s**t happens. Nothing else to say, really.

Who wants to bet how many posts it'll take for Taco to show up and cry about trolls?

14. iamcc posted on 04 Nov 2011, 09:21 8

Well Kindergarten is only half days usually so my guess is he'll be on around 1pm.

15. DRP14 posted on 04 Nov 2011, 09:26 5

OMG an Apple failure! I thought that was never supposed to happen according to some! That's only supposed to happen to Blackberry.

16. GALAXY-S posted on 04 Nov 2011, 10:10 4

yay siri is working again !! im not stuck with an iphone 4 now whoowhooo!!

17. darth8ball posted on 04 Nov 2011, 10:16 2

What an Apple product only comes out when it is perfect and ready. Sounds to me like antennagate all over again. NO iPhone will be sold before it's time.

Really, this story would be normal for any new device...if it wasn't for the fanboys who cry foul about Android devices needing fixes after the first couple weeks of release and how it never happens to Apple because they don't rush devices before they are perfected.

Thanks to apple there is always lot of fun and laugh with their single unique lonely model of their micro-catalog of phone
Only one phone but so many many many bugs
Thanks again for the pleasure to read that each year

Lol @DROIDX0430 lack of power? 512mb ram + 800mhz is more than enough power for an iPhone to run smoothly. Android on the other hand...you want a droid to run smooth you might as well rip out computer parts and put em in the darn thing lol. 1.5ghz + 1gb ram phones still run slower than the iPhone. Just being real. ;)

20. DROIDX0430 posted on 04 Nov 2011, 10:58 6

LoL@drodriguezsd-buddy you are in denial...Ask Siri that question you just attempted to tell me--which I will never believe anyway you slice it.....look at the benchmarks--and you will see the results.

24. gotti88 posted on 04 Nov 2011, 12:47 1

lol!!!!! ur comebacks are hilarious

22. ZEUS.the.thunder.god posted on 04 Nov 2011, 12:42 3

SIRI is back and changes everything again.. lol

23. ZEUS.the.thunder.god posted on 04 Nov 2011, 12:43 2

when would apple stop makin stupid things ????

26. roscuthiii posted on 04 Nov 2011, 13:12 1

Apple's advertising of Siri is that of a full fledged service. There is no beta mention unless you go and purposefully look it up.

It was already available on the iP4 before Apple decided to make it an iP4S exclusive.

The beta rhetoric should be put to bed.

27. drodriguezsd posted on 04 Nov 2011, 13:32 1

@DROIDX0430 I'm not sure what benchmark tests you're looking at, but perhaps you should check this article out. ----http://www.redmondpie.com/iphone-4s-cpu-clocked-at-800mhz-is-73-faster-than-iphone-4-twice-as-fast-as-galaxy-s-ii-and-all-other-android-phones/

So I'm looking at the results...and the iPhone is the fastest in comparison to several Android phones. Stop pulling whatever you can out your @#* because THIS RIGHT HERE IS FACT.

28. drodriguezsd posted on 04 Nov 2011, 13:34

Another thing, I find it hilarious how whenever there's a post related to iPhone/iPad all the Android fans come on the post leaving their hate comments. Yet, when a post is made about Android, it's MUCH MORE UNLIKELY for an iPhone user to say anything. It's because iPhone users are satisfied with their phone and don't feel the need to bash others. ;)

Siri is a woman... having some woman issues... what's the big deal.... right? xD

30. iamcc posted on 04 Nov 2011, 17:29

Yeah in order to make her more realistic they added a feature where two to three days a month no matter how many times you ask her to help you out she just gives you that look and says she's busy...
