I picked up the 4S on Friday morning by just walking into a store. It was very easy.

I am slowly coming around to Siri. I am finding more and more little uses for it as I use it more.

I'll probably use it for text messages. I send so few of them, that dictating it is much faster than opening the app, selecting the contact, and typing the message. I am really surprised on the accuracy of the text. I work with someone who has worked on developing voice recognition before. He gave me some of the tricky words that are often mistakes, but Siri got them right.

I thought Siri would be gimmicky when I first heard about it, but the usability is so strong that I might use it much more than anticipated.
