Sorry guys, but you sound a bit like luddites.
Hopefully Microsoft isn't stupid enough to ignore voice like some of you think they should because they'll get left in the dust.
Siri type applications are the future, count on it. Most people would rather speak to their phone than squint at the screen and punch at it with their fingertips for everything. The day when we can use our phones reliably without having to ever touch the screen to type is coming sooner than you think. The sooner Microsoft gets to work on brining TellMe up to speed, the easier it will be down the road.
Siri needs some work, but now Google has come out of nowhere and upgraded the crap out of Google Voice search, check out this video.

Now, I HATE Google and I HATE Android, but I have to give credit it where it is due. That is very well done right there. I expect something similar in WP8. If we don't see it, then I can promise you Microsoft has dropped the ball and they had better pick it up quick.
