That told exactly to a friend i sent to buy iphone.They said that he has to sign a contract.I believe that you are right.I think that is the accent that make them to behave like this because as far as i know if you pay the full retail price of the phone they are supposed to sell it.So as i previously said the only way it's applestore!

Apple Store Santa Rosa Plaza definitely got 3 cases of iPhones last wednesday. Trust me. I have a very, very reliable source.

MMMMM, iPhone shortage, Walt Mossberg claiming a 3G iPhone in 60 days, "leaked" 3G iPhone picture, reports of already ordered 10 million units [3G plausible] from Hon Hai [factory in China that makes iPhones] and many erie clues pointing to World Wide Developers Conference in San Francisco....
Seems to add up...
Then again, it may be our expectations building up and piecing things together the way we want them. I personally want the 3G version now to replace my current iPhone. Anyway....

Still 5-7 days wait time at Apple.com. Must be quite a shortage. Here in the UK it is 24 hours for either model.
In any case, 60 days is a long time from now so I wouldn't hold my breath expecting that these shortages are any sort of indication that a 3G iPhone is coming anytime sooner.

Hahahahaha, I know you want me to call. But I live in Norway.
But I think AT&T stores are a more secure shot.

We all know employees at the Apple Store are treated like mushrooms but a tech at the 14th NYC store did let slip yesterday that they (the employees) are all waiting for some kind of announcement as to the deal with the iPhone.

I knew that you live in Norway from an earlier post, that's why I was offering to check for you. AT&T stores are definitely a better way to get an iphone right now.
Why don't the NYC people cross the bridge and pick iPhones up in NJ? I just bought an 8Gb iPhone a week ago @ the apple store in Edison, NJ. They said they had lots of 8Gb and 16Gbs available. Also, the AT&T stores at Jersey Gardens has them as well the Apple Store in Short Hills Mall.
when iphone came out, damn, i thought it would have a real tough time selling... I thought that nobody would buy it especially when 8gb was $599. Im surprised people take a liking to it considering it has to be JB to use with other networks, and exp. tarrifs.
I've been a fan of Apple products for years, but i wasnt gong to get an iPhone, but then i went to my local Apple store to browse, played with the iPhone for about 5 Minutes, then bought it!!!
Its hard not to fall in love with the thing, had it for about 4 months, and im still in love with it!!!
I've heard of people getting them through AT&T stores by telling them that they are gifts, and they plan on registering them via iTunes.
Maybe try that approach?

Haha, I thought you were kidding. You don't need to call Apple Store every day to update me
That's too much.But that was VERY kind of you. Too kind!
I don't expect daily updates from you people. But if anybody have been there, you can come with your experience.
Do 5th avenue have them in stock today? My brother, who is going to buy them for me are now in NY and is going to Apple Store 5th avenue today!
It's probably quicker for your brother to go and find out then it is to wait for a forum member who just happened to be in that store today buying an iPhone to come along and reply to your thread (which you're not supposed to bump).
The guy who should buy one for me bought a 16GB today at 5th avenue! So I can confirm there are stock in New York!
