Ever since Apple revealed the iPhone 4S late last year, the Siri personal companion service was, and still is arguably the flagship feature of the slightly tweaked iPhone 4. While many people use Siri for mundane things such as “where is the nearest cafe?” or “Siri, do you love me?” someone has decided to ask Siri what the best smartphone ever is. The answer? Nokia's Lumia 900 4G.
The thing is, while Siri would love to say that the iPhone is the greatest smartphone ever, Siri uses Wolfram Alpha, a knowledge database that is used when Siri doesn't know the answer herself. Plus it is not under the jurisdiction of Apple, meaning it is free to say whatever it feels like.
In the above screenshot the Lumia 900 is deemed the best smartphone ever by customer review average, and wait for it, is based off just five reviews or ratings. This didn't stop the Windows Phone social media team lapping it up, tweeting “we have to admit, occasionally, Siri knows what’s up.” Saying this though, Siri often returns different answers for the same question so you may get different answers. We don't think any European carriers would agree with Siri either.
KitGuru says: This makes me wonder what Samsung's S Voice will say when asked the same question, the Apple iPhone 4S perhaps?
The European carriers likes to be droids. So they like to be copies of each other like all droid phones. Even Woz has sais that Lumia 900 is good phone. So there is valid reason for Siri to be right. 😉
lol cute. But because of this, I really want to own a Nokia Lumia 900 now. I’ve always been a fan of Nokia and now, I’m really hyped to get one.
I got one in order. Had opportunity to teat one in the Nokia anual general meeting a week ago. Liked it alot…
well on plus side when you ask the Wolfram Alpha “Whats the best laptop?” it answer “Samsung NV305V5AI 15.6″ LED Notebook AMD A6 3430MX 1.7 ghz brushed metal”
so honestly I suggest its not too healthy to let SIRI arrange your shopping list
I have both, the 4s and a Lumia 900. Overall I like my Lumia more, but I still find I’m a bit more productive on the iPhone. Windows Phone is still fairly new, and has much potential.
