Not interested in the phone, but Siri (sp?) looks to be quite a bit smarter than the voice input in my Evo 4G. Assuming thats what the complaint is over...


Well my phone already does this its on Android 2.3

Got a custom firmware on mine with 2.3 as well, but watching the Siri demo it seems to be quite a bit more advanced. Not that its really a big deal either way, but the demo was pretty solid. Here is a an article talking about the two: 

http://sanfrancisco.ibtimes.com/articles/227082/20111007/apple-siri-vs-android-voice-action-voice-command.htm

However, the difference early reviewers seem to be seeing between the two applications isn't in the commands, but in their functionality. Where Voice Actions only recognizes commands when the speaker uses specific vocabulary in a specific configuration, Siri's AI technology allows for a broader - and therefore more natural - range of language. Apple products blog TUAW compiled a list of sample phrases, the most impressive of which included "Reschedule my appointment with Dr. Manning to next Monday at 9am," "Cancel the budget review meeting," "What does the rest of my day look like?", and "Mail Lisa and Jason about the party and say I had a great time."
