Walk-ins Not Handled Right

Just wanted to take a minute to express my disgust with how the Apple Stores (don't) handle PR on inventory available to walk-ins. So it's my own fault that I didn't pre-order and my own choice to stand in line and take my chances. I know that and have no intention of whining about it. My whine is my opinion that the Apple Stores need to announce, as soon as they know themselves, exactly how many phones they have on hand to sell to walk-ins. That would at least allow us to make a decision on whether it's worth the trouble of going to the store at all, and/or how early to get there. But hey, that would amount to service above and beyond the call. Can't have that. Long lines are great publicity.
 
Thanks everyone for your replies and help. My iPhone 4 just got delivered!!

FedEx really must be behind on tracking info..

How did they verify it was on the truck? When I called it seemed like they use the same system we use to track packages.

Received new Iphone

My Iphone arrived at 9:10am this morning (I am in Michigan outside of Detroit) and I was able to get it up and running with no problems or glitches. I updated from my 1st generation dinosaur!! How fun for me. The phone is BEAUTIFUL! I hope everyone has good luck today! Enjoy! :D
 
If you are going to Southpark mall in Charlotte Apple store, I spoke to the mall management office and they will open the mall at 6 am. No one is allowed to line up (or even get onto mall property) before. They said they will throw us off the property, and not let us come back for it.
 
my phone was in AK till 2:45 am than at Memphis this morning at 5:45 am and im in New jersey BUT I just got it 10 minutes ago FedEx website still shows 24 and departed in Memphis so there is still hope for today for all of you that had thier phone stuck in AK for 2 days !!

Your phone was stuck in Alaska for two days and then showed up in Memphis overnight? :D
