I don't have a 4S because I'm on the other upgrade cycle. i.e. I got the 4 at launch. After the initial "cool" factor I think Siri makes sense in certain situations, like when driving. I would love to have access to my iPhone by speaking to it while driving.

I was going to stick with my 4 for another year but ended up with a 4S through a rather circuitous route.

Anyhow, since if you have a 4S you're going to play with Siri, I've found that it's really quite useful even when not in a hands-free situation like driving. I've found it very useful for setting reminders faster than I would be able to manually, which I found quite surprising. I'm looking forward to finding more things like that in the future.

Here's what I have found works faster with Siri:

Remind me to... (like you said) Wake me up at/in... Call [name in my contacts] Call [place not in my contacts]. Siri looks up business for you. Note [something I want to make a note of]
