Apple 'Fixes' Siri on 'Best Cell Phone' Issue

Apple's iPhone voice assistant Siri no longer says Nokia's Lumia 900 is 'best cell phone'.
"According to my database, Blackberries have cooties."
Well, that didn't take long.

After a day of ribbing from giddy Windows Phone fans, somebody at Apple gave Siri a lecture in brand-loyalty. Or maybe they employed the old duct tape, screamed abuses and rubber hose method. Either way, she's been 'corrected'. Now, if asked 'What's the best phone', Siri gives a coy, playful response but basically demurs.

And Siri absolutely, positively does not check in with Wolfram Alpha.

Siri Says: Lumia 900 'Best Cell Phone'

Apple iOS voice assistant Siri says Lumia 900 is 'best cell phone' based on Wolfram Alpha search result
"Whoops...did I mistakenly print that to screen?"
Well, we guess it's official: Nokia's Lumia 900 is 'best cell phone'. Apple's Siri says so.

Despite arranging her (its?) program so that Siri has snappy comebacks to dozens of clever questions, looks like the know-it-alls in Cupertino forgot one. Whoopsie...
