Bug? It's a feature. Much like holding your phone wrong when making a call or taking a picture now, it just let's you know you are using the wrong network :)

Siri is super buggy and I never depend on it. When you connected to wifi it works great, in the car, it lags and doesn't work correctly.

Apple's products are products of excellence - there are no such things as bugs. If anything it is a feature that all should embrace.

Odd, they make it sound like a bad thing.

I've had a number of people try to show me how great siri is, they asked different questions but all got the same result. "That service is not available at this time"

IMO, I have used both Siri and those mimickers on Android and IMO neither is superior to the other.

Siri isn't the only thing that wigs out when I switch between networks. Any time i move between 3G and Wi-Fi I have to put my phone in and out of airplane mode to reconnect or else nothing works. It even kills my ability to send a text. It's been happening for over a year now, and whenever I tried to have my phone looked at under the terms of my warranty, I was told I would have to buy an applecare plan. My next phone is going to be a Windows Phone.

Atleast this is fixable. The purple lens flare on iPhone 5 camera is only fixable by avoiding weak to strong light sources in your frame. All these things will get better. I fear the day these things become commodity items and manufactures just start cutting corners.

You make it sound like Siri was developed by Apple. Siri was going to be a multi-platform service until Apple bought it.
