I'm sure most of these were ordered prior to the antenna and other issues coming to light but we'll see what impact these revelations will have on the pace of sales.

"This is the most successful product launch in Apple's history," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. "Even so, we apologize to those customers who were turned away because we did not have enough supply."

In all fairness, these phones were ordered or purchased BEFORE all of the known issues had come to light.
