I refused to wait 2 hours in line. I ordered mine at the local ATT store (1/2 hour closer to my house than Apple store) and they say I'll have my 3G in 2 weeks (3 weeks at the most). -Maha http://headsetPlus.com yeah..

I went last Friday the 17th to get one at my local Apple store. The web site said that they were completely out of stock. I called the store and they said they had them. Once I got there, I waited in line for 1 hour & 15 mins with loads of other people. I Was like 15th in line or something starting around 12pm. I'm sure they had loads of people come there during the morning. Definitely CALL the Apple stores after checking the web site availability.

I believe Crunchgear had the original post. That was at an AT&T store, and I can vouch for one in MN where they had stock but "couldn't" sell them until after some time. This was however, during the release days. I think Apple knew an estimate of how much demand to expect for the phone. In my opinion it was good for them to only sell/make enough to satisfy, but still leave enough demand that it creates some buzz and who doesn't want what they can't have?
