will probably wait until they send a few generations out before buying it this time around. Which means the style is already going to be outdated by the time they get it out to market.

The bending iPhones is really going to get worse over the next months as people actually start to use their phones... I mean it has only been a week or so since they began actually arriving! I read that it isn't just the larger one either, which means that this is not going to simply go away. Steve Jobs would be slamming doors from one end of the building to the other I'm guessing if he were around while this was going on.
