I asked the same question to my siri.
Answer was: Wait... there are other phones!

Nokia Lumia 900 is the top rated smartphone at amazon.com based on more than 400 individual reviews (black+cyan). So, Siri, you got it right: Nokia Lumia 900 is the best smartphone ever

Being top rated on Amazon doesn't really mean much either. Only phones that Amazon sells can have ratings anyway and since they don't sell the iPhone it won't get reviewed there. At best you can say that the Lumia 900 is the top-rated smartphone that Amazon sells, not the top-rated smartphone altogether. Wolfram would need a data source that comes from a site that posts user reviews from any smartphones, not just the ones that company sells.

No reason to jump on either bandwagon. People that don't like their phones the way they come from the vendor either root them (Android) or jailbreak 'em (Apple). I have an iPhone and it plays all the emulators you mentioned. (The fact that almost every single ROM for the aforementioned consoles is illegal not withstanding...) For those of us not on a bandwagon, regardless of what phone we own, there are markets that allow us to have almost all the same apps functionality-wise. Android has the Android Market and the Apple folks have the Repositories.
"Do your research, kids"....

It isn't illegal if you rip that rom yourself, from a cartridge you own, and use it on your own machine.

Ohh ohh ohh, now it's my turn to also mention a group that exists in extraordinarily large numbers! "The majority of bit-torrents users who's primary use is for the transfer of royalty-free media and open-source software."

And what does that have to do with the topic?

ROMS are not inherently illegal. Stealing the roms over the internet is. Do you deny this?

Well, that is a fantastic question for yourself. "What do ROMs have to do with the topic of Siri reporting the Lumia 900 is the best smartphone?"
I've seen many of your posts over the years- it's hard to miss them with the qty you've racked up- I'd hate to deny your need for having the last word. So, here ya go...it's all yours.

“The Apple iPad is the best. And that’s just not my opinion.”
Siri doesn't like the iPad either?

Tech reviews from Best Buy customers? That explains it all.

Uh yes that is "JUST YOUR OPINION"
Ignorant fanboy.

???

WallyDuke was not expressing an opinion, he was taking the mick out of the flawed syntax used by Siri, ie. SIRI was suggesting that it did not agree with the statement that the Ipad is the best.

I really shouldn't need to explain this to an adult, but by the same token you shouldn't malign people just because they dare to make a negative remark about something that you are passionate about.

Of course my point might be moot if you were condemning his Best Buy remark but given your use of the word fanboy I doubt that was your point of contention.

Thanks, this guy missed what I was saying by so much I didn't even know where to start; his misunderstanding of my comment was so immense that it left me scratching my head.

In other words, you have know way to defend your ignorant statements, and instead defer to mindless drivel.

Good job. You sound just like 99% of the ignorant Americans that also make dumb statements with absolutely no understanding of the topic or means to back up your statements.

You're right, unfortunately and almost suspiciously if you go to AT&T which of course is the only carrier that sells both phones you see the Lumia 900 is just shy of 5 stars for the black and cyan version but the iphones aren't rated. It's odd, their highest rated phones are windows phones and android phones yet surely they sell more iphones? Anyway since they don't rate them i guess it doesn't really matter.

Just for fun, I asked Siri the same question.

Response: "Wait... there are other phones?"

Hetep and Respect Ed Oswald, nice try for the droid tribe. liar, liar pants on fire.

I asked Siri: What is the best smartphone made?

Siri: "You must be kidding right"

You folks with the Interpersonal Computer knockoffs (Iphone clones) still think you have smart phones, lol.

When Apple put artificial intelligence in Iphone as standard equipment your phones became simi-smart a notch above the old dumb button phones.

Windows Phone is far from an iPhone knockoff... I actually feel sorry for people using an outdated interface/ usability/ overpriced Apple products. I own a 1st Gen WP7 Focus, the media would have me believe it's not up to par with iPhone 4S, or Ice Cream Sandwich, yet it has never froze on me, I never had to restart it, it has a "true black" AMOLED screen that is incredibly beautiful, incredible picture quality, 90,000 apps that really matter... don't believe every "sensationalist" media article, or what every Verizon salesman tells you abou iPhone or Android. I know plenty of iPhone users that DON'T use Siri as opposed to the ones who do... that means I don't know any Siri users out there... the ones who probably do watch way too much tv or feel a need to justify the $190 a month they are spending on owning the most overhyped cell phone of all time.

All of this is nothing other than amusing. Nokia accusing Apple of playing unfair because they neutered the Siri response. All that is so funny.

In reality, as many have pointed out, there are so holes in the Wolfram or Amazon responses they are worthless. You really need to go by independent forums rather than sales sites for best reviews of products. Do you really think a company that profits from you has your best interest at heart?

Go ahead and feel sorry for them. I don't think anyone really cares what you think. I am wondering why you seem to care so much? Is your whole self worth wrapped up in your phone and that someone uses something different challenges your value?

Your stating your own fantasies of what other phone users are like does nothing but demonstrate your the one that really has the problem.

Siri,technically, is not true AI,even the article tells you how it decides,just searches one spot for highest rating and says it. Thats just a verbal web search result pretty much.

[slowuroll2000]

Siri is not real AI, just a verbal web search result.

[shadowamazon]

So essentially best buy customer dictates SIRI's answer. no wonder it is so dumb.

I love my new WIndows phone. It synce seamlessly with my Office Docs, I also love the live timles instead of dead icons.
I am taking all smartphones in our Company to Windows phones.
Come on Verizon, get with it and offer newer Windows phones.
