Found this piece of text on the Web... Apple would have you believe that Siri is the be-all, end-all personal assistant. But in my testing Galaxy Nexus speech and search capabilities consistently outperform iPhone 4S. Siri's presentation is better, Google gets the job done.
Simple example: One of my favorite local restaurants is Bahn Thai. When listening to my request for the phone number, iPhone 4S and Galaxy Nexus equally understand, one doesn't deliver. I've tried different variations using Siri: "Phone number for Bahn Thai"; "Phone number for Bahn Thai, University Heights"; "Bahn Thai, University Heights"; Thai restaurants, University Heights"; among others. The latter used to work, showing two Thai eateries nearby. Now all answers lead to a list of Thai restaurants in San Diego, and none the one I want. By comparison, simply asking Galaxy Nexus for "Bahn Thai, University Heights" brings up Google search page with Yelp review and phone number top result. http://betanews.com/2012/05/11/you-can-hav...e-galaxy-nexus/

Getting Started

Hmmm i always have trouble making calls for Dad and Dad 2 on my S2 voice action..... i can call Dad 2 easily but having hard time to get the phoe to regconize solely Dad... it will eventually ask me which Dad i wan to call... Hope they've improved in the S3 s voice.....
but one thing i"m sure is that the Android's voice to type is definitely accurate and able to catch our M'sia slangs..... thumbs up for this.... I've spoken to Siri and it always gets the wrong word......

Also for email and facebook or any social apps,try to set the refresh time rate higher. for me 1gb not enough. just monitor ur network usage using 3rd party apps available,then only u can know

i have free apps with ads, about 2 or 3 of them emails,facebook etc are never an issue even go high refresh intervals coz its just text.
but yes just monitor the few days u start using. coz there may be just one big thing you overlook that may make the utilzation jump high. for example sometimes u have pics and videos on your phone (maybe around 2-3 Gb is quite normal), then without knowing the setup, android just syncs all that to picasa or dropbox or whatever. so it usually happen to the new and ignorant users.
