I went to my local Apple Store, Lenox Square Atlanta, around lunch time today. I was able to play around with them in the store. I was very impressed--what a beautifully designed product! Loved the white and it wasn't distracting in anyway at all. They are indeed very snappy.
Having been struck with a quite bad case of lust, I was hoping to buy an one on the spot. No luck. They only had 64 3g Verizon. I asked if there was a waiting list and was told, "no, they are available first come first served. Try checking back on tuesday." That sounded little better than a crap shoot and not being the gambling type, I came home and ordered on-line a white 16GB 3g AT&T with Applecare. My estimated ship date is April 11 with an April 14th delivery! That's crazy! I can't believe I have to wait so long to get mine.

The Apple Store on N. Michigan in Chicago had some this morning. I missed out on a 64GB Verizon by literally 5 minutes.
I shouldn't have stopped at Dunkin' Donuts this morning on the way over
Tsurara - what time did you get in line? I'm thinking about heading to the Mich Ave store early tomorrow morning.
Ordered mine online today. At least 4 - 6 weeks is an almost guaranteed timeline with certain delivery. If I am able to find one in a Portland store before that I can always cancel my order.
I am really hoping that the online ordering situation improves, and that the current ordering velocity helps Apple plan their supply chain better. I am also hopeful that the 4 - 6 weeks is only indicative and that we all get our devices sooner.
