Confirmed: Best Buy WILL have White iPhone 4

I called the BB by me out of interest they said they have a few white iphones but there all reserved. Another one I called a little farther away (25 mins instead of 10 driving) said they do not have any white.

The whole white iPhone thing is a complete mystery. One story after another. Wish Apple would just make a statement on it already. It's stupid now. I am hoping Apple with have it launch day. Maybe BB is saying this stuff to people to get them to their stores:confused:
 
I'm skeptical... But believing out of hope! Why would he make this io, he's a respected member!!

Maybe, but I'm sure as hell am not going to BB to buy the phone, considering the low stock most have and the fact that most if not all are all reserved.
 
I would be willing to believe it much more if these were Apple store reps as opposed to BB guys. It just doesn't make sense to me that Apple retail stores wouldn't have white iPhone 4's yet a BB would. If some Apple reps corroborate the story by saying they received white iPhones and posting pics, I'll believe it.
 
No one is saying Apple doesn't have white iPhones - they wont get their inventory until tomorrow (late) most likely.

My question is - I've met some noob ass BB employees. Are they thinking the white BOX is the white iphone? Because the black comes in a white BOX too.

I was going by Sku number looking through our system... I haven't actually even seen them... I just know our system says they're there.
 
There will be white iPhones on launch, just like people got their iphones two days early.

I don't care about BB's statement in their FAQs.

I called again and it was confirmed in their system - she was looking at the screen - that they have two shipments coming for both white and black iPhones for tomorrow and will be calling people to set up their appointments for pick up based on when they reserved.

Best Buy Mira Mesa in CA

I will also get my unicorn same day!

If this is the case then why don't you check RSS and post it yourself? If you work there you obviously have access also...

1. Checking my area's stores is irrelevant to proving the validity of the OP.
2. I'm not going into work to look up the availability of white iPhone 4s when I won't even be buying one from BBY.
 
So for S**** and giggles I called my local Best Buy (Tallahassee) where I reserved a white one for myself and a black one for my husband. They had already called my husband earlier today to tell him he could pick his up Thursday.
No suprise what the answer was when I asked about mine...they are hoping early July, first week, and I'm number two on the list...oh well at least I can check out the hubby's.
 
Well, I know this isn't going to help anyone, but I went down to my local Best Buy a little bit ago (West Hollywood, CA) and they had their shipment of iPhone just sitting out in front of everyone. Asking about the white, the gentleman said "We received all 4 models of iPhone 4, but still less then our pre-orders, so it's first come when it comes to pre-orders".

*shrug*

It's hard for me to believe this since all Best Buys have been specifically ordered to have the iPhone 4s locked down until Thursday. Every Best BuY I have called this was the case. They're locked in a cage in the back.

I believe it. I know some are getting them. Other people seem to believe there's no way they'd get them because "Apple isn't" but they are. Just for release day, not for preorder.
 
I went to my best buy and asked what to do about my white preorder and they said there was no need to switch as they had whites in the back. I obviously didn't believe and asked if I could see and they of course said no. I'm guessing they assumed white box = white iPhone, but we'll see Thursday.

Girl was a total *****.

Me: "Hi, do you know if you guys are going to have any white iPhone 4s on June 24th?"
Girl: "If you did not pre-order, there will be none available."
Me: "But are you guys going to have any white iPhone 4s available on launch day regardless of pre-order status?"
Girl: "If you did pre-order, you will be informed about completing your reservation before the 24th, otherwise there will be none for you until late August."

I really don't think it's a mistake. They're required to scan the barcodes to account for what they received of each model so they can make appointments. ;) Glad you're getting yours. :)
