Did your iPhone 4S arrive? Share your impressions on gdgt!

For those of you lucky enough to have your iPhone 4S show up -- make sure you share your impressions of the device right here. Is it everything you expected? What's the change like going from an iPhone 3GS →4S. How about from iPhone 4 →4S?

Is Siri worth the hype? Let us know.

mine arrived at 10 AM. Siri is why I upgraded from an iPhone for. I work with my hands all day and drive around a good deal. I'm hoping Siri, and expanded voice control, will save me time and a lot of typing. Obviously there are some transcription errors.

Siri, at least her microphone button on the keyboard, wrote this reply.

So did Siri convert your entire reply in one go? or did you get Siri to convert it one sentence at a time? roughly how many words did it get wrong?

It stopped once in the middle. Best for short texts etc. I posted it just as it came out. It made a few minor mistakes "for" instead of "4" for instance. You do have to say "period, comma, new paragraph" Like any dictation software I've tried.

Mine also arrived around 10a this morning. Siri is unreal. I have done about 30 seconds worth of text in one shot, which was transcribed perfectly about 1 second after I was done speaking. And Siri has a lot of fun Easter eggs, and even found the "Shaft" reference.

Mine arrived at 2:20 pm but I was not home so the UPS driver brought it to their Pick Up Center. I went to retrieve my phone at 9pm and the line was almost Apple-store like.... Man in front of me was pissed cuz he's just picking up so non-iPhone package.

anyway, so far I'm enjoying the iPhone 4S... haven't tried it's new features cuz I'm busy updating my stuff on the phone. Unfortunately, since I did not update to OSX Lion and iOS5 on my 3GS, my photos, text messages and stuff did not sync to the iCloud. At least my contacts and calendar in synced.

I then realized that I installed to many apps so I'm deleting most of the unused ones in the phone and in the Mac.
