Holy cow! I can't believe I finally got one. Black 64gb At&t at the Brea store (LA area). This is amazing. I was just clicking on that locate button like some sort of crazy person.
 
Got my Verizon phone on first attempt. It was available at all three apple stores in Honolulu Hawaii last Friday night at 9:58pm. Those of you taking a vacation to Hawaii can get your phones there.
 
no luck again tonight. so out of 20 stores from pasadena to Irvine except newport beach none of them got any stock? that sucks.
 
seems like the whole east coast did not get a single shipment today...I checked a few stores this morning as well and none of them got a shipment...
 
Anyone know when the Factory Unlocked versions are being released? I'm planning to buy at full price of $649 to use on AT&T, so might as well wait for the unlocked one...
 
Tips???

I have been trying for the past 10 nights (Pittsburgh, PA area) and only saw them Thursday night, which coincidentally was the night I was on my iPad which was not quite fast enough! Am I doing something wrong that I am seeing none in the entire tri-state area? I keep refreshing and clicking on the in-store pick-up option and am continuing to be disappointed by the gray shaded "Unavailable for Pickup" message...

Thursday night was the only night I saw anything online and was able to reserve one. I was on my computer at the time. I've since tried on my computer, phone & ipad on all other nights to reserve another one. It's not you or your computer. It's the stock. They must really be supply constrained, at least for AT&T versions.

Seems like most of us are in the same boat. I have been trying to find an iphone 5 for over a week now. I am on a reserve list at several local Radio Shacks. Last night I tried order at 10 pm for next day in store p/u but it seemed like the stock never refreshed. I checked every Apple store in NY/NJ/PA/CT and none of them had anything available. Im in the Albany, NY area. Will keep trying the order at 10 pm deal. Heres hoping.

I found the iphone 5 available for Sprint at many locations here. A few for Verizon, and NONE, for AT&T, which is my carrier.
 
I tried to doing it last night but the stock wasn't refreshing for my Apple Store. I went there this morning and they didn't have any in stock. Checked around at at few Radio Shacks, Wal Marts, Targets and AT&T stores with no luck.

Before my last resort of just ordering one through AT&T, I went to a Sam's Club. Lo and behold my hunt for an iPhone ended there. Got me a White 16GB:D
 
Congrats on the Sam's Club find.

I also had no luck the past couple nights, for AT&T in the Boston area... thinking of trying a few more nights and then just putting an order in.
