3rd straight night with no luck for white 32Gb Verizon in the Bay Area
Tried for that in LA and no luck either, if that makes you feel any better. Can't believe these aren't in stock anywhere.
Thanks ! Looks like the AT&T guys had their night tonight. Hopefully tomorrow is Verizon's turn !

Hopefully Sprint gets some love too :/
Fifth night I've checked and third night in a row where I've had it in my cart, I've gone into the payment pages and have lost it. I have my credit card number pre loaded and everything. I'm not sure I can click any faster and it's making me so mad that I always lose it at the last step. Today I got to the processing final payment screen before it said unavailable.
Stay away from my phone!
UGGGGG!!!! Tell me you are bummed? What the heck is going on...it's like they forgot about the Southwest!!!
Damnit. There was one at the alderwood mall near seattle but someone else took it while I was thinking about if I was going to drive 70 miles for a phone...
-.-
-.-
Yeah. I've been trying since Apple launched the reservations. Eventually I'll get mine.
Me too..This past Sunday I woke to see that my upgrade was doable a week early. VZ said Oct. 6 but when I check the upgrade on Apple it says now...giving me the reduced prices? No clue, so hopefully I can get to the end of the order and it goes through...of course, pending we see any and get lucky. If not, I am considering just ordering and waiting the 3-4 weeks. I was insane tonight with this whole thing...it was maddening. Here's to our luck this week!
Seriously. I guess I know what I'm doing again tomorrow night!
The Verizon models seem to be very sparse.
It's so darn maddening? In your opinion, what do you think the problem is...surely it's supply but I just do not understand how they decipher what area gets replenished? I would love to take a lesson in Apple inventory and see how they decide what goes when/where. Ok, now I am obsessing, can you tell! Better luck tomorrow!
Hey Washington buddy, where abouts are you and was it a GSM model? There are still 32Gig white GSM's at two different stores in the Portland area... probably twice the drive for you but it would be tax free...
I'm in Tacoma, so I'm hoping one of these days the Tacoma Apple Store will have some. But this is the second time I've seen the Alderwood Mall in Lynnwood have a 16GB at&t white version. I just didn't buy it fast enough
$17 of tax is way less than the gas money.
The upside for all of us still waiting to get the phone is that hopefully these later batches will be defect free compared to the earlier batches. Fingers crossed !
Last time I saw anything for Verizon in AZ was on Thurs & Fri last week so if I don't see anything tomorrow night then I'm not going to be shocked.
I can't explain it but it does seem like they need some refresher courses in supply chain management. Cheers for tomorrow!

Ah, I keep thinking everyone is looking for the retail price, lol. Sorry, I'm looking at like ~$72 tax on the 64Gig and in that case a drive kinda makes it worth while, or at least still break even after factoring in gas.
That's like saying the Chinese need a refreshing on making phones faster, the demand is still HUGE on this. You don't see some stores sitting there with hundreds of units not sold and STILL getting new shipment. The supply chain is fine, just super tight on phones to actually supply.
