How is Siri limitted in the UK?  I'm due for an upgrade tomorrow and
Symbian is out of the question so I'm left with the Iphone. If Siri is
not what the glossy adverts claim then I might go for the original
Iphone4 as it will bring the monthly cost down. If not then I can get
a like new one from Amazon for £300 or the old 3GS model for £140.
The reason why I want a Iphone is that a lot of my favourite apps are
accessible and as I have a Ipod! I have the experience of using a IOS
device. Texting is a concern as I I'm still slow with texting as
practising on the Ipod hasn't really increased my speed dromatically.
