Picked up a 64GB ATT model this morning at the Apple Store in Nanuet, NY. Order process as follows: Check stock and order online at 7:30am. Drop son off at school. Walk into store at 9:59am walk out at 10:03 with iPad. Can it go any smoother? I think not.
This is a new Apple store. It recently moved from the Palisades Center Mall in West Nyack, NY to a new outdoor, higher end shopping center in Nanuet. Much nicer and very quiet. I don't think everyone is aware of it's new location.
Now if I can only find a good case that fits. Going to stick it out with the apple smart case until 3rd parties come up with something good. I prefer a folio with different angles like the brookstone case I had on my original mini, which sort of, but not really fits the retina.

Looks like there is hope! Several stores that showed no LTE in stock this morning now show them in stock, that means there are more showing up at Apple stores still yet today! Fingers crossed my store gets a shipment in today!
So anyone who has tried their new LTE Retina Mini's... How is it? Everything working okay? Now we're gonna get a lot of cancelled orders.. Including mine!

Picked up my 128GB ATT Black mini at my apple store this morning, even with the system being down I was out of there and had a invisishield installed on it in less than 20 mins.
FYI, The screen is amazing! No discoloration and everything is so crisp. I have held it side by side with my old mini and its no comparison. like holding a iPhone 3G next to a iPhone 5.

The Somerset store in Michigan appears to have just gotten in a shipment. A large number of models too (all 4 carriers, and most of the sizes except for a few - or they just sold out before I noticed those). Either way, just ordered a 32GB Verizon. Still showing good stock.

Well, lost hope for finding one today. I've yet to see my local apple store receive a single LTE unit...

Found a 128G AT&T model yesterday for personal pickup. Been using it since last night and it's working great.
Nice!! I'm getting 128 VZ but it won't get here until Wed. I was originally going to get it at the store but they told me I'd be better off getting it online and shipping to my house. Well, now the store has em... Lol moment for sure.
Bay Area is showing a couple 128GB LTE Sprint. Sadly, I paid my order all with 3 gift cards and destroyed the two zero value cards after the order was placed. I'm stuck waiting for my two 128GB AT&T to go into preparing for shipment.
I picked up a 128 ATT LTE rMini yesterday afternoon on Long Island. Great screen. Had given up an iPad 3 a year ago for the mini - loved the size and form factor - tolerated the screen - but didn't miss the weight. I had also previously owned the 1st iPad and the iPad 2. This is the mini I always wanted. Crystal clear, fast and great form factor. My favorite iPad by far. Air was tempting, but ultimately still a little big for my liking.

A number of NY and NJ stores now have them according to the Apple Store website. I ordered one for pickup but now 3 hours later I still haven't got a "pick it up" email and now the stores are closed. That has me worried because I canceled my "mail order" I placed on day 1 that said 5-10 days in order to get one today.

Seems like San Francisco store has 16G, TMobile, White, which is also what I ordered online. Now I started regretting ordering online. It could be in my hands now!

It still can. Simply cancel it online and get one locally or don't cancel it and return or refuse it unopened at no cost to you when it arrives.

When I picked mine up, the person who helped me said they received very few LTE models and I might have gotten the only 128 ATT in the store. I checked since then and haven't seen one available, so getting it online might work out better for you. Either way, enjoy!
Managed to reserve an iPad Mini LTE 16 GB in Space Grey this morning in NYC (West 14th Street). Looks like there ARE some in NYC, but you have to be really quick on the trigger
