damn I watched the SIRI video...and I think my nose is gonna bleed trying to speak English to a phone

Why? You write in English just fine in here. Is speaking it difficult for you?

Panda has T-Mobile too and he whines about it all the time, lol.

I just know that all carriers have issues in certain areas under certain conditions. None of them is perfect!

I agree.

It would be bigger than Verizons network.

Didn't the merger with AT&T and T-Mob fail bcoz' of this?

Don't think that's the problem. Basically, you're talking to yourself, and talking to oneself is the first sign of madness.

Something like that--some crap about there being too little competition in the cell industry. T-mobile may eventually fold anyhow. They have not been doing well the last few years.

What about those people that wear bluetooth headsets? It's not much different anymore. I used to look at people who I thought was talking to themselves when in fact they were talking into their phone. It's not unusual anymore.

yeah that too but did you watch the video? the phone answers back I kinda like the reply message thing, you talk and it writes (solves my keyboard problem )

I wonder if it can do that on POTN posts as well

When I see them, the first thing I think is that they're tools (ie douchebags). Its one thing if you're driving to work, or if you're on the phone all day as part of your job. But if you're out in public... I see people walking around talking and you don't know who they're talking to. You can't see their headset half the time. It's an inconvenience to everyone around you--and that makes them douchebags.

I even try to avoid talking to my car (voice commands) and instead use my good old fingers on the navigation touch screen. Voice commands are safer while driving, but it feels weird talking to my car, lol.

But for some reason, I can see myself using Siri on the iPhone.

I hate it when people are walking and talking to themselves, I could understand people using those things when driving or doing something else, but some are just sitting in Starbucks or chilling out and they have that humongous bluetooth headset that looks like a hearing aid stuck to their ears

I see this all the time!! Sometimes I think they're trying to talk to me until I see their headset.

It's the way of the future, but I hate this voice-prompt crap. It started about 5-6 years ago when businesses started rolling out voice-prompt menus. I HATED it then (so horribly inaccurate), and that hatred still carries over.

yup. I HATE those numbskulls. If you're out in public, walking around, put your phone up to your ear. It's the courteous thing to do.

What I'd use it most for is to hear a text message read to me by Siri, and get her to reply by speaking my reply instead of typing it myself. I suck at texting (speed) and I'm not really into that anyway, but all my friends and family text a lot. Having Siri do the work would be neat!
