The GUM (great unwashed masses) don't seem to care.  A friend just
ordered an iPhone online and found that Apple has a 3-4 week backlog.
I don't know who's really doing the complaining and litigation, but
it's probably not owners of the iPhone 4.  Besides, with a 30 day
return policy, what's there to complain about?

Testing my mess of cell phones is going to have to wait a day or two.
Too much work and no spare time.
