Wow! Texting is the main reason I wanted Siri, and she does other things nicely but she is much faster at sending a text 99% of the time than I am typing it unless I am where the Bluetooth keyboard happens to be.

So, if I really want to use her, I turn off voice over, I press and hold home. When it beeps I say text blah and the message. she responds with the message and if she should send it, I simply say yes without having to tap the listen button and it gets sent. Although i like Siri very much for many things, I can honestly say that texting isn't one of them. But as I said, when I do, this is what works better. -- Raul A.
