Siri Answer Claims The Best Smartphone Is Nokia Lumia 900, Not iPhone 4S
Uh oh! Something tells me Siri is about to get called into Tim Cook's office.
Windows Phone blog wmpoweruser.com asked Siri "What is the best cell phone ever?"
and got a surprising response from the iPhone 4S' defining feature: The intelligent voice assistant
answered that the best cell phone ever was, in fact, the Nokia Lumia 900, by Siri's reckoning. We
tried it out ourselves and got the same result:-

Siri became an Internet sensation back in October when it shipped with the iPhone 4S, thanks to
some quirky answers she delivered to the creators of the "Sh*t That Siri Says" blog. Things have
been a bit rockier for Siri since then: The voice assistant is the subject of two class action lawsuits
in America, with the plaintiffs complaining that Apple's advertisements unfairly exaggerate Siri's
capabilities.
Apple has to be a little disappointed that their killer feature is actively rating the competitor's product
over their own -- especially when that competitor has been bashing them in its "Smartphone Beta Test"
ads over the past month. Television commercials for Nokia's Lumia 900 have knocked the iPhone for its
past antenna issues, its inability to be used in direct sunlight, and the fact that everyone and his daughter
owns one; and now, to make matters worse, Siri is recommending it over the iPhone 4S. Turncoat!
What's really hurt is that if you want Siri's opinion, she'll tell you the iPhone 4S is the best
phone; if you want the facts, she'll tell you it's the Nokia Lumia 900.
