AT&T 7-14 Day iPhone 3GS backorder

Yup, i read today that they can't keep up with the demand..

Yeah, I've seen this, too, but I can't help but wonder where this info comes from. If you look at Apple's availability web page, there doesn't seem to be much of a shortage:

Got mine in exactly 8 days. Ordered online at AT&T .com

I just walked into a AT&T store here in Columbus Ohio yesterday and they had 32GB iPhone 3GS in stock (they were out of them the day before though). I picked myself up one.

Best Buy seems to have plenty (got mine there) and I think even Wal Mart sells them, try there as well, may be better supply than ATT stores believe it or not.

Has anyone else had to endure the terrible wait that is 7-14 days for their backordered iPhone 3GS at AT&T?

I would just walk into the Apple store and pick one up, but i've got a business account that only allows you to purchase through an AT&T corporate store.

Does it really take up to 14 days for delivery and why are the ATT stores so backordered when the Apple stores are all flush?

I ordered mine expecting the 7-14 day wait and it was in the store the next morning. Very exciting (that was 2 1/2) weeks ago
