I just got back from the Roosevelt Fields Apple store. I went yesterday (7/26) after calling around 11:30AM to make sure they had some in stock for walk-in purchases. I went in at around 1pm, and they were sold out.

However, I called again this morning (7/27), and they had some in stock. I got a 16GB around 11:00AM. They had both 16GB and 32GB in stock by the time I left.

I also called the Manhasset Apple store yesterday and today, and they did not have stock at around 10:15AM.

Are they both NY locations? I work in NYC, but live in NJ so I'm hoping to pick one up either of those locations.

Thanks. Is it mainly just Apple stores and Best Buys that have been getting them back in stock? Anyone have any luck at Wal-Mart, Radio Shack, and/or AT&T stores?

Hey... I only assumed they had 32GB's for sale. Sorry about getting your hopes up. When I got there, they asked me which size I wanted, and I opted for the 16GB. I figured if they asked, they had both sizes. But thinking back on it, that might not have been necessarily true.

I've been checking some of the nearby Best Buys, such as the one in Noho, a few in Queens and Long Island, without any of them having any stock. Same thing with the AT&T stores. None of them had any in stock.

Sold Out :(

Anywhere else?

I would pick a store near you and get on a waiting list (I've heard from stores aren't doing that), then keep looking. If you find one before, you can cancel the reservation. I reserved mine at the Columbia, MD store on a Sunday and got the e-mail on Wednesday that it was in.

They stopped doing reservations on this past Sunday.

I just got 2 16gb iphone 4 at the Westfield Mall in Jersey @ Paramus. It was the smallest apple store I've been to. Sarah, the sales lady was super duper nice.

I got my reservation notice for a 32GB yesterday. When I picked it they also had 16GB for walk-in sales but no 32's. This was at Roosevelt Field Mall, Long Island.

I went to the Apple Store 5th Ave last night for the genius bar and then I was told they had many 16GB and 32GB iPhones for walk ins, So I was able to get one, I got out of there around 10pm (1 hour and 15 min wait) and they still seem to have a lot left, they might have some left this morning...

Thanks for this info, I relayed it to my co-worker.. she called the store and sure enough they told her that they had some left. She rushed out the door to go get one lol..... She had been trying for a while but AT&T and Apple stores all over kept telling her 3 week wait.:D
