iPhone 4S: The world's crappiest update yet

Did anyone see this? Will anyone go ahead and buy a new iPhone? Really, I'm interested. Apple is kind of good at framing things nicely and making robust devices, but nevertheless there are restrictions that come with Apple products.

Personally I was very disappointed with this - basically nothing has changed while other phones are not only adding better specs (which end-users hardly care about) but also have some more interesting OSs. So, thoughts?

I think my next phone is a Nokia running Windows Phone.

Hopefully the iCloud service and IOS 5 pulls them out of the rut, but for a slightly better processor and camera, I ain't upgrading :)

Siri looks sweet - but only for the 4s.

This isn't for you to change from the 4->4s, but from the 3 or 3Gs->4s, that's pretty sweet.

Siri looks sweet, but how often will you actually use it?

2gud.  My boyfriend kept a dud nokia for an extra 4 months to buy a new iPhone because he thought the 5 was coming out now, and it is just the 4S.  I am amused.

I have it.
upgraded from 3Gs

Siri is amazing, literally does anything.
I asked her 'who is your daddy' and she said 'you are'.

Furthermore its a lot smoother and the camera is nice (have not owned an iphone 4, so dont no what the upgrade would be like from that)
