1. I can't speak for Siri myself, but here in the UK I know it can't
help you locate businesses for example restaurants.
2. I believe the text dictation feature works for all except password
text fields for obvious reasons.
3. The camera on the 4s is 8 megapixel compared to the 3gs which is only
3. So performance will no doubt be a huge improvement. There is also a
front facing camera which is useful for features like Facetime.
4. I can't comment on VoiceOver and Siri interacting together sorry.
5. Because of the dual core A5 processor in the 4s, I have no doubts
that VoiceOver will be very responsive on the 4s compared to the 3gs.
6. Can't comment on the battery sorry. I have heard in the past that
there were battery issues on some iPhone 4s.
Hope any or all of this helps.

Hi listers.
I am currently using an iPhone 3Gs. I am considering to get a new 4S.
I have a few questions. I am sorry for a long email. the 4S is an
expensive purchase so I wish to be very sure before I decide.
1. I watched many videos of siri. from that, I learn it is really good
in speech recognition. well, since you will be using it daily, what do
you think about it's recognition capabilities? How good is it at
texting? I also saw a couple of posts in this list about vo and siri
not working properly together. Does it really prove to be
inconvenient?
2. text dictation.
I read that there is an option to say the text we wish to type in an
edit field on pressing a microphone button on the keyboard. Is this
only in the messages app or works in any edit field (even in 3rd party
apps like Facebook and whatsapp messenger)? and, how is the accuracy
of the recognition?
3. Looktel apps on 3GS vs 4S
I am planning to purchase the money reader and the recognizer in the
near future. Is there a significant performance difference in terms of
recognition time and accuracy?
4. VO and battery in 3Gs vs 4S
since updating to iOs5, VO lags quite often. It responds late when I
move my finger on the touch keyboard and by the time I remove my
finger, it enters a different character from what I actually intended
to enter. Does this happen in the 4S too? and how is the battery life
of the phone after the 5.1 update?
Your suggestions would be of great value and will help me in making
the right choice.
Thank you for reading this long list of questions.
Regards
Venkatesh
