No, it is not too early to have a good estimate of how those will go. Estimate, sure. Conclude - of course not. With bendgate in the mix especially, there's more uncertainty entering the equation. I ran into numerous people today who were considering an iPhone later this quarter but who will not be getting it now because of the build quality alone. If people like that are rare, then it might have only a modest impact, but if reports worsen over time and they are not of an unusual mindset, sales could be significantly impacted. That's what estimates are all about... weighing variables and predicting.
