Check out this video of a Scottish man trying to get Siri to understand him. Hint: It doesn't work out to well.
Unfortunately, it may be a while before Siri (in beta) is able to function well with accents and other languages. However, Apple says the more you use Siri the better it will understand you.
"The more you use Siri, the better it will understand you. It does this by learning about your accent and other characteristics of your voice. Siri uses voice recognition algorithms to categorize your voice into one of the dialects or accents it understands. As more people use Siri and it's exposed to more variations of a language, its overall recognition of dialects and accents will continue to improve, and Siri will work even better."

you can tell its just a case at the last seen, you can see the green screen through the camera hole and you don't see the grey where the earphone jack goes.
