Oh, dear lord, no. I hope that buyers don't buy from eBay. I think that the people selling them are idiots, but the people buying them are even bigger idiots. Just be patient!

iPhone sold out.

Iowa has them...
The Jordan Creek Town Center mall in Des Moines, Iowa, still had 4GB iPhones in stock before they closed yesterday at 6pm, but they were out of 8GB units. The guy there who taught their iPhone workshops thought they had received more 8GB earlier (since Monday) and sold out, though.
So, that said, I wonder if other Apple Stores listed as "out" actually do have them.

I have my serious doubts about the accuracy of the iPhone inventory page. On Tues night it reported that Pentagon City in VA was sold out. I dropped in after the ball game yesterday afternoon and they had at least 20-30 sitting behind the counter. (Keep in mine yesterday was the 4th, no deliveries).
My advice to anyone looking for one...call the store.

I'm heading to a store that showed they had none online yesterday. I called the store at 4pm yesterday and they said they had some in. The site still shows they don't have any in stock. You can't believe the website, just check out a few stores and you should find some.
Just please buy one for now, since they are getting scarce, save some for other people. When stock catches up, buy another if you need to.
This whole getting an iPhone thing is really getting annoying. Shouldn't macrumors members get special treatment or something?
ROFL! Cosign!
Yeh i just called them up all they have left are some 4g You think i should hold of for the 8s or go quickly grab the smaller one?
I would wait. You will regret not getting an 8 gig. Double the space for $100 more.
They may be getting more in Friday.

Oh, now you want an iPhone so badly you'll drive all over (insert state here) to get one? Where were you on Friday? You could have been waiting on line. Or better yet you could have gone to almost any Apple store on Saturday - most still had them in stock and few had lines. Or you could have gone to an AT&T store. True, they were all sold out Friday night but they were taking online orders that would ship in 2-3 days. Nope, you had to wait almost a week before deciding. You had to wait for a million people to get one ahead of you. Then when there is a real scarcity, only then you decide you have to jump on the bandwagon.
Just go to an AT&T store and order one. You have all ready wasted enough time.

I couldn't go Friday to get one, I had to work at 5. The rest of the days I couldn't decide on if I wanted to get one yet, I just knew I wanted to get one soon. Last night I made up my mind. Not gonna order online, I'll either get one today at the store that said they had some last night, or I'll just keep calling every store everyday. I'll get one quicker than if I ordered it. I work nights so I have the time in the day to keep looking! I'm hungry for an
There are five stores all within 30 minutes of me, chances are. I'll get one very soon.3 Minute Transaction
Was traveling for a wedding, walked into an Austin Apple store, and bought an 8 GB Saturday morning.
Simple, simple, simple.

Pgh sold out?
I don't think that the Pittsburgh store actually has one, my friend went down Tuesday and didn't get one, maybe they were just out of the 8s...
And I love how everybody copied off of me(who waited in line) and then needs help, I've already given 3 people crash courses.
Off topic... has anybody actually successfully emailed a pic to another phone aka mailto: 4125551212@mms.cricket.com or like vzw?

Hey I cancelled an order for my Ipod one time and I didn't have to pay a cancellation fee so you should be fine.

Um yeah I agree just go to an at&t store and I'm pretty sure you will be able to find one around. Also at&t stores are taking orders so why not give them a try?

Let me recall now ..... wasn't there some astute executive from Microsoft or Dell who predicted that Apple would be lucky "to break even" with the iPhone?
His shareholders must be filled with confidence by his foresight!
P.S.
Based on the apparent sales pattern, I believe Apple should eliminate the 4GB, concentrate on 8GB, and push for a 12/16 GB for the immediate future.

I decided Tuesday to get an iPhone. The Glendale (Milwaukee), WI Apple Store is an hour away. Site said they had some in stock the morning of the 4th. I drove over and got there 3 minutes after they opened. The line was about 24 people long. They had 19 iPhones. After they announced they were sold out, everyone dispersed. I hung around and investigated the demo units. About 5 minutes later, an employee walked to the store opening and shouted out into the street that they had 4GB iPhones (I guess they had either *just* gotten them in or didn't see them before), so I was able to snag one of those.
I wanted an 8, but in retrospect, I think it's good. I saved $100. I have no plans to get rid of my iPod and definitely plan to buy a widescreen when Apple deigns to release one. So the 4GB should do nicely to supplement my real iPod.
