Still waiting for my iPhone too. Didn't make the cut to get it on day one (missed it by 10 people, so close). About the only place with any in the US is California. At least Apple updates their web site each night for all the store locations and wether or not any of each the 3 versions of the iPhone will be available the next day. That is very helpful and eliminates the need to call the store. The AT&T system is not as good, and you need to call. Multiple stores at AT&T thought it could be 2 or more weeks before anymore open stock arrives. You can simply order one and have it arrive in about 10 days however.

Maybe now, I will just hold out till Christmas, and see if there will be a 32 GB version.

Went by the Apple store to pick up an Airport Express today, and what do ya' know, Fed Ex dropped off a shipment of at least 40 Black 16 GB and at least 20 of the other varieties (I could see them stuffing a drawer at the checkout counter with them). Score! Timing is everything

Played with the GPS tracking on the map on the way home - so cool, and perfectly accurate. This is the second shipment the Cincinnati store has had after the original launch. So it is certainly a good sign to see they're still quickly shipping out more product. Time to go play . . . .

Everyone seems to want the 16GB White from what I hear... I thought it was a little bit feminine and so I went with the 16GB black myself. We are still waiting on a near by store (one is closed for refurb so we are down to one small store) to get some phones in for my little brother. It was his birthday on the first and he is still waiting for his present.

Congrats notabadname, fantastic timing.
