Sure enough the iPhone 4S Siri is a beta product. In the UK we get a man Siri. This is disappointing as the Man Siri has an annoying and very mechanical voice as opposed to more pleasant female Siri in the US. Once you get used to the mechanical man, you are still not very much better off. Siri cannot find location including your work, home etc. in the UK. Or businesses.

Even though expressly a beta product, it is annoying Apple have put very little effort to cater for the country where the lingo originated. Whip out some of your bloated bank notes and get this working Apple!

By the way, I managed to dictate this post using Siri, getting about 80% accuracy. Way less than Dagon from Nuance. So if Siri is your reason to upgrade to 4S and if you are outside the US, think again.
