"that 1.7% is 51000, or basically imagine the entire US-only launch of the EVO consumers returning their phones." And you think the takeaway fact from that statement is that Apple is playing with numbers--not that every single Evo could be returned, and it would still just be less than 1/50 of iPhone sales? 1.7% is not a high return rate for consumer products, even if every single person returned it because of the antenna (which is probably less than the number returning it after receiving an AT&T bill).
