Siri Says Nokia Lumia 900,Not iPhone, Is the Best Smartphone Ever

You would think Apple's virtual assistant Siri knows who pays its bills.Apparently not-when not asked ,Siri says the best smartphone ever is Nokia's Lumia 900.

What caused this apparent oversight?Siri uses Wolfram Alpha, which answers questions based on sets of data maintained by the company's researchers.When it come to smartphones,somebody must be asleep at the wheel.Lumia 900's high rating is based on five reviews of the device, all of which gives the phone five stars.

Wolfram's list of smartphone reviews boggles in mind in what it calls ''the best smartphones'',though:HP's TouchPad Tablet comes in third (it's not even a phone!) behind the absolutely stunning LG 500G on Tracfone.Nokia's Lumia 710 gets high praise ,as well as Samsung's Illusion and Focus S.

Best Buy Involved
Notably missing are any Apple iPhone models or any Samsung Galaxy S for that matter.So who's behind this odd list of the best and brightest in smartphones?I peered into Wolfram's Alpha data source information and found answer.Best Buy.

Best Buy reviews power Wolfram Alpha's answers to these type of question when it comes to electronics.Indeed,Best Buy's page for Nokia Lumia 900 show those same five glowing reviews.Maybe Wolfram Alpha needs to rethink its data sources?

Apple shares a bit of blame for this oversight too.I tried to trip Siri up repeatedly and failed each time.Take this response for example:Ask it what's the best tablet ever.Siri's response? ''The Apple iPad is the best.And that's not just my opinion.''

Now that sound like the Apple we all know and love (or hate).
