AT&T today announced that it will not be offering walk-in sales of iPhone 4 in its retail stores until June 29th as the company seeks to meet pre-order demand for the popular device.
Here are a few guidelines for customers buying iPhone 4 from AT&T:

Preordered for home or business delivery: iPhone 4 will begin arriving this week for customers who preordered. We'll send an email when each order has shipped.

Preordered for store delivery: AT&T retail representatives will begin calling customers this week to let them know their iPhone 4 is available for pick up in store.

Retail purchase (no preorder): AT&T plans to have iPhone 4 inventory - available on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last - on June 29 in its retail locations, at www.att.com, and in business sales channels. As inventory sells out, AT&T will offer the convenient option of purchasing iPhone 4 and having it delivered to a home or business or an AT&T store. As always, customers will receive an email once their order is placed, and again when it ships.

AT&T is also posting information and a series of videos to its Facebook page to assist customers looking to obtain iPhone 4.

AT&T's server problems brought U.S. pre-orders for iPhone 4 to a grinding halt when they went live on June 15th. But even with the difficulties, AT&T by the end of the day had suspended all new pre-orders and will apparently not be re-instituting them, as the company will be working to fulfill existing pre-orders right up until in-store availability launches on the 29th.

Apple's own retail stores are expected, however, to have walk-in sales available on Thursday, although quantities are currently unknown and there are likely to be long lines with customers camping out well before the stores open at 7:00 AM in order to increase their chances of being able to purchase an iPhone 4.

Lets hope this is in an effort to make good on the promise of a " Reserve"

They need to take priority over people who didn't bother to try
 
Awesome. AT&T continues to show their prowess at all things FAIL. I expect nothing more from them!

Apple store FTW.
 
The Apple Stores are going to be slammed on Thursday. I can't even imagine.

Best Buys pre-sold most of their inventory... Radio Shack got 9000 for the entire company and most stores didn't even get 1 iPhone 4.... and AT&T won't let you buy one until the 29th.

Record lines at Apple, I'm sure.
 
Oh, boy.

Glad i pre-ordered from Apple. My only question is whether i show up at 7:00 or wait till the evening when things "slow" down.
 
So I've been complaining that my status is still "In Progress" .... but at least I'm not the camper boy 😀😀😀😀
 
All I can say is ooops. At least if I have problems pre-ordering my iPhone tomorrow, I won't have to surf around the line of people camping outside AT&T.
 
I called my local AT&T store not two hours ago, and they DID NOT tell me this - instead, they said they would have some available for walk-ins. Very interesting....
 
San Diego - Apple Store

thinking that arriving at 4 AM, may not be early enough, might have to do a midnight showing and watch movies on my Ipad all night 🙁 at least I do have a reservation... hope that actually means something.
 
What about the white versions?

Does anyone know when the white ipods are being released?

Will it be before august at least?
