66% of Current iPhone Users are Delaying Purchase on the iPhone 4

"International Data Corporation (IDC) fielded a brief directional survey done in collaboration with the IDG TechPanel that seeks to provide insight into the impact the technical problems with the Apple iPhone 4 will have on the buying behavior of those in the market for a new phone."
According to the survey, 66% of current iPhone users are delaying the purchase of an iPhone 4 due to reports of the antenna issue. The survey also found that the same issue doesn't seem to be affecting the purchase of the iPhone 4 by non-iPhone owners. 74% of non-iPhone users are not delaying their purchasing plans. As someone who just purchased an iPhone 4 (it'll be here in 7 to 14 days), coming from the Nexus One, I can honestly say that I didn't decide to buy the iPhone 4 until I felt that Apple had made things right. In my opinion, Apple has done that. I know not everyone agrees with me on that, so I'd love to hear what you think. Are you delaying the purchase of an iPhone 4 due to the antenna issue?
