I got the iPhone 4s today. I am upgrading from the iPhone 3g so its a big upgrade. I was presently surprised to find that Siri works.
The Good:
It is good at voice, better than any other voice recognition I have used before, better than I expected it would be. I find it surprisingly useful. It can set reminders, calendar events, e-mail, text message, set the alarm, find the closest starbucks, search the internet, ect. AND it usually works on the 1st try. It understands me perfectly on the 1st try about 75-80% of the time. And 90% of the time on the 2nd try. It worked perfectly while I was driving around 80mpg on the freeway today. It will read new text messages and e-mail to you when you ask. It is good and figuring out which contact you want to send an e-mail or text message to.
The Bad:
The voice recognition is not miraculous, it still misses words enough that it takes away some of the 'wow factor'. The prompt/button for when to speak is annoying. Often I find i am pressing the button at the wrong time or speaking at the wrong time. It has failed me at least once every time I have tried to show it off. It won't read reminders which seems silly.
Overall:
Over all I am impressed with Siri. When I first heard about it I didn't think that I would use it. I have had phones before that would let you say "call home" and I never used the feature. Google 411 would drive me crazy, but, Siri does not!

I tried the "Open the pod bay doors" line as well, and I got the same thing you'd get when you ask to open an app, but I also got a second line, "are you happy now?"
