So, how's that Courier working out for you? Is the battery life good?
Anyway, I'm not an apologist for Apple like some are for their pet companies. So, this design flaw is pretty bad - but, in reality it probably isn't THAT big of a deal (minus the embarrassment).
I've seen hundreds of iphones being carried by people. I only remember one person that didn't have a case and he beat the piss out of it. So, people will make a bigger deal of it than it really is because some people have too much time on their hands.
Regardless, Apple will have to do something. You might see a release where they coat the antenna before it ships or something. We'll see.
