Yup. If the FED fails to lower it will be a buying opportunity for sure.

Why EDGE, Not 3G UMTS (WCDMA and HSDPA) Q: Why not 3G networks? Steve Jobs: “The 3G chipsets are real power hogs. Handset battery life cuts power to 2-3 hours.” Yeah yeah, we’ve heard it before. “Our phone has a talk time of 8 hours and that’s really important when you want to use your phone for internet and music. 3G needs to get back up to 5+ hours, something we think well see later next year. … WiFi is way faster than any 3G network. Energy efficient EDGE with better, faster WiFi. That’s why we chose it.” blogs.zdnet.com - Eric -

Q: How many [iPhones] do you hope to ship before Christmas? Matthew: "80% of high end customers from other networks would be willing to switch carriers based on their data." But he won't discuss specific sales numbers. That's a good number. First time I've seen that quoted, but I expect US number is in same range. So that's 100% of customers who don't have to switch plus 80% of remaining other carriers adds up to somewhere around 85% of the target demographics. Looking at the reverse, only about 15% are locked out of the iPhone because of carrier.
