I got my iPhone 5 32Gb black/slate on release date b/c I pre-ordered from AT&T. So since last week, my wife who has the 4s was playing with my phone and she loves the 5! And she regrets not pre-ordering 2 weeks ago. So 2 days ago Wed- Sept 26, I went to AT&T web site and pre-ordered her the same phone. Site says 14-21 days wait. AT&T, Sprint, Apple, Best Buy..they said 3-4 weeks wait. Crap. 
So I went online, look at Radioshack locations on their site maps, and called every one starting from my area Naperville (west) going East to Chicago. No luck. Called every store going south all the way to Matteson.. then headed east all the stores in Indiana (Portage, Munster, Schererville) Still NO luck.
Started calling stores going north along I-290 and I-355.
RadiosShack has 72 stores listed in Chicago-land area.. I already called 38 stores... not stopping..
The 45th store I called in Schaumburg, IL.. while on the phone with the manager.. Fed EX delivery guy came in.. I asked the manager if he can check the box.. he opened it and said with a happy voice " YOU are the Luckiest Man I know! I just got an AT&T iPhone 5 32Gb black that you wanted! And people keeps calling us non-stop everyday to see how soon we are going to get them. I did not know we're getting one in today"
YES! Went there after work yesterday, got the phone, and cancelled my pre-order with AT&T.
Happy Wife = Happy Life
