Well, I suppose… > how's the camera? The only thing I can say so far is that it is fast. > Siri? Siri is quite a lot of fun. It knew who was my wife and my brother, but I had to confirm my sister (and it then added her into my contact with her full three names in addition to the first name that was already there). It did something similar when I added my father-in-law as ‘dad’. Siri doesn’t understand “father-in-law”, it tries to send a message with the text “in law” to whomever is marked as your father. I was able to get stock quotes on Apple and Google, but not on several other companies, even when trying to use their ticker name (tried Linn Energy (LINN) and others. Also, when it gives you stock market info, it’s from Wolfram-Alpha, so outside of Apple and Google, it will only show a graphic with the info. I suspect this will be one of the great annoyances with Siri since it only took me about 5 seconds to find it annoying. Also, I really want to be able to say “Remind my wife to call me when she leaves wok” and have the reminder on HER phone. > Overall speed? Hmm. Hard to say. Most the stuff I do is just the basic email, messages, twitter, etc. Apps seems to come up faster (Though Foursquare has lost my login/pass twice). Location stuff seems quite a bit faster and tweetbot seems to give me a list of tweets on first launch about twice as quickly, but then after that it’s pretty much the same nearly instant activation… The first thing I noticed is that the speaker is MUCH louder than on the 4. -- "Kill yourself and roll a rogue.
