I bet Apple will have tough time to catch even X-Mas sales here. If the visible data is about 5% of all data, Apple has (should have) around 2 000 issues (300-500 severe) on their data base they have to (find and) close before they can sell it in Europe: there is around 100 issues found by users - mostly UI issues, but some of those has to be fixed, too. To perk out all of those will take several months.

I wonder, if there is a clause in the contcact between AT&T and Apple, that AT&T can restrict or suspend sales of iPhones if quality of iPhone SW and/or HW is not acceptable: AT&T is notorious on paramount demands on SW quality and HW performance against standards.

Let’s see, if other smartphone manufacturers will use iPhone feature list and HW performance as reference to justify their point of view in future product sales contract negotiations. Most likely those will.
