Its free cases. So its not just bumpers!
Someone somewhat asked the question I was looking for:
"10:53AM Q: On the September 30th date, is that to let people know that you'll have to buy a case?
Steve: Not really, we'll reevaluate then. Maybe we'll have a better idea. Maybe Eminem will come out with a band-aid that goes over the corner and everyone will want that."
So, it seems they will reevaluate the issue, but does that mean they may give out replacement phones to current users? Who knows. I guess we will have to wait and see.
Seen to be a internal revision of the hardware, seen it look like enough time for a re certification, don't expect any swap out programs
Good point. That may be what happens.
No doubt tome there is a revision underwork....after this answer
Q: Is there a hardware redesign in this generation that could fix this problem?
A: You can go on the web and look at pictures of Nokia phones that ship with stickers on the back that say "don't touch here" -- you can go on YouTube and see these. We should you three phones today, all good phones. So right now the state of the art of the entire industry is that no one has solved this problem. Would I like Apple to be first? Yes. Can we make it better right now? Maybe, we'll see.
I am returning my phone and waiting......
Does anyone know if you can go back to your 3G or 3Gs without contract issues?
here's what steve said
Q: After September 30th, is it because after then you expect people to buy a free case?
Steve: Its so we can reevaluate this in September, I have no idea what solutions may come up.
