Speculation is running rampant about what Steve Jobs & Co. might try to pull off tomorrow with their emergency press conference. Will they man up, and admit that there's some issue of some kind that needs addressing? Or will Steve pull a Jedi mind trick on everyone, all the while publicly flogging AT&T, Consume Reports, and anyone else who gets in the way of his plan for worldwide domination? More importantly, how will you react?

I fall into the Applesoftie category.
One this is for certain; Jobs needs to man up and admit a mistake AND offer a correction at no cost to the consumer. If not, it will be a lose/lose situation for him and Apple. He will not win over ANYONE if he doesn't man up and also he will forever turn off those who bought an iphone for the first time and got a refund after this problem. Those folks will never purchase another Apple product as long as they live. At least if Jobs owes up to the problem, those who sought refunds could reconsider. After all, if you take away the dropped call problem, we all know the phone is heads and tails above the rest of the smartphones out there.
