Apple emailed me about my SIM card being "defective"

[yifanlu]

So, when I got my iPhone 4, it says "No SIM card" even though the SIM card was in there. I didn't want to wait until the next day to contact support, so I fixed it myself by taking an extra ATT sim card I had laying around, cutting it to size, and activating. However, somehow apple knew, and sent me this today.

P.s: weird thing is that on the order page, it says "Ships August 2", not tomorrow.
