iPhone 5 Retail Experiences - Which Stores Have Had It?

[PJF6387]

I didn't notice a thread with this conversation, so forgive me if I missed something...

What experiences have people had searching for iPhone 5's in stock at stores? Seems like certain areas have had more luck than others.

In my area (Ohio), not a single store has them in stock. No Best Buys, Radio Shacks, Apple Stores... Nothing.

Anyone having better luck?

Did you try Walmart? A few walmarts in my area had 16 gb models. Too bad I need 32...

I didn't! Time to start making more phone calls...

I need a 32 as well. I noticed a few 16 GB's pop up on the Apple In-Store Pickup system last night at 10pm, but that was it. 16 GB's ONLY. And they lasted all of three minutes before they were sold out. Nothing else within 400 miles.

UPDATE: Checked every Walmart within 100 mile radius (about 15-20 of them), and of those, two have iPhone 5's, all are 16 GB models, and only one has them for Verizon. Fail.
