BB at Edgewood is up to about 75 people now with a steady trickle of people coming in.

I'm curious to hear what they say about supplies once the tickets are handed out. I live near the Edgewood location but suspect the in-towners might be more likely to buy one of these than the burbs where I work and plan on heading (near Cumberland Mall).

I wouldn't bother coming to the Perimeter Best Buy without calling ahead. We got our tickets and they already ran out of a lot of them. People forced themselves to get one they didnt want.

Did any of the Best Buys have white models?

They aren't handing out tickets at BB Edgewood. At least they haven't mentioned it. 100+ in line now.

Just got word that Lenox is starting to distribute claim tickets. Line now extends nearly the length of mall on both sides.

Edgewood is handing out tickets. I got the last 64 GB Black Att ticket and I'm roughly 30 in line. Probably 150 people in line right now. I would guess some are going home empty handed.

Line moving forward at Lenox fairly rapidly.

I got to Edgewood BB at about 4:40 and once 5pm hit and they started moving the line, I ended up being 4 customers behind the last ticket (for a 16GB Wifi that I wouldn't have wanted anyways). Options were to sit it out and wait for people in the line that have credit decline or changed their mind last minute or bail. I decided to bail as they only had 3 cash registers to process the line and it was going REALLY slowly.
They also "offered" that we could come back in in the morning, put $100 down and have the next units received reserved. Oh - even better, the guy said they get truck shipments every Friday! LOL.
I got up at 4am and ordered online, but wasn't too thrilled about the 3-5 days crap, but now its seeming not all that bad. Might still try swooping in on an Apple Store this weekend or maybe Monday morning. Sold my iPad and its getting old reading my ebooks on my iPhone.

North Point seemed to still have a bunch of tickets left on their cart and the line had diminished significantly as I was leaving a bit after 6:30pm. They ran out of all AT&T 3G models, don't know about the others. If you run now you might get something!
Best Buy Smyrna, GA (near ATL) had some sort of SNAFU with their inventory counts.
I was probably 130-150th in line (got in line at 5:05PM) but got a ticket somehow for a Black 16GB WiFi.
After waiting another 30 minutes or so there is a crowd of customers at the front of the store who'd been in line looking upset and agitated. I get to the register am told there was a "miscount" in the number of 16GB blacks that they had. I was like, man if I'd known I would have gone for 32GB or 64GB so I don't have to wait weeks to get one, and somehow he came up with a 32GB Black Wifi for me (which in line they told me they were out of).
I think I walked away with someone else's 32GB Black WiFi, but I walked away happy.
This is the RAM size that I really wanted in the first place. I need to go play the lottery.
Now need to find a decent case. The "smart cover" is only smart for Apple if they can sell you one at a massive, massive profit margin. They were out of most of them anyway, but really not impressed with it for the cost. I'll bet there'll be knock-offs for $20 max soon.

Lenox store phone number says they are now closed. Yesterday an associate told me they are anticipating staying open late, though. They probably just shut off the phones.
If anyone is still at Lenox, please post an update. I'm debating still going over to see.
