No Apple iPhone Pre-Orders? Not if you goto an AT&T store!

A Channel Checkers survey reveals that the official AT&T policy on prohibiting Apple iPhone pre-orders is not being upheld by AT&T (Cingular) stores. Out of 36 stores surveyed, approximately 64% of store representatives are quietly taking down a waiting list for the upcoming Apple iPhone. It should be noted that 36% of stores reported that they will be pushing the iPhone on a “first come, first serve” basis. Stores with waiting lists reported an average of 25 people in the queue.

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that most AT&T stores are now taking down pre-orders against oficial company policy – this is the hottest launch in recent memory, and as such, we can expect a flood of demand. Still, if the iPod mini can teach us anything, the Apple Store may be the best and easiest bet to find the Apple iPhone in-stock on launch day.
