> Luckily for Apple, it’s not too late to save themselves.

Save themselves from what? The 1.7 million phones sold during the opening weekend? The fact that they are completely sold out of stock with a three-week waiting period right now? I’d say someone is getting a bit hyperbolic here.
Word of mouth, as always, will speak far louder than marketing or tech press amongst the nerdist elite. Everyone I know loves his or her iPhone 4. The consumer reports thing is definitely not a good thing, but the fact that they recommended it wholeheartedly and then completely changed their minds two weeks later speaks a bit to their credibility, I would think.
