Spoke to Radio Shack this morning...

I'm on my local Radio Shacks reserved list #7 of 7 at the time. I called back and they have no idea how many phones they will get in. I didn't ask about colors because I thought white wasn't going to be offered.

Does anyone have any idea around how many radio shack stores are going to be getting? I asked at my local walmart and they said they were getting 3 iphones in. I really want a phone on thursday because I just smashed my current 3g in the garage by mistake.

So, go to radio shack around 5am, at&t around 5am or should I camp out at walmart around midnight?
 
There is just so much misinformation being spread by these companies and nobody really knows whats up because Apple hasn't said anything. I walked into Radioshack today and the lady there with an AT&T lanyard around her neck said that it would be atleast 4-6 weeks until Apple releases white iPhones. I then go to the AT&T corp store and asked the lady there and she said they will have white iPhones but they don't know how many.

I wish Apple would just come out and say yes.
 
I put my name on a list on pre-order day.. the clerk called me back and got more info (address, model of phone I wanted) later in the day. I called a couple of days later and was told I was the only one who reserved, and that it went through successfully. However, I was never given a pin, but maybe that's because they have my personal info and will just call or email me about the phone and didn't feel the need to ask me to come in just for that. They said the outlook is good I'll have an iPhone (32GB black) on launch day, but who really knows.

I don't see why companies are so secretive and disorganized when it comes to the launch of new products. I know this is sort of an unprecedented demand, but still...
 
With regards to the white being 'available' for pre-order in RS/BB/Wal-Mart, if Apple isn't selling the white, nobody will. How embarrassing would that be for Apple? These stores are taking pre-orders because they don't know what they're getting. It's more of a 'just in case' pre-order than an actual one.

No I don't. and I'm curious as to how you do...since there hasn't been any official statement.

People like you are the reason there's so much unnecessary negativity across these forums. You think you know more than the rest of us, when really, up until the 15th you had NO idea that the white iPhone wouldn't be available!

You didn't know that Apple and AT&T would screw up this many pre-orders.

You didn't know Best Buy or Radio Shack or even Wal-Mart would even be selling them at launch until you read the press release.

So NOW all of a sudden you have some 'insider knowledge' that the rest of us don't? Get real. You're making assumptions like the rest of us.

Until there is official confirmation, or Steve called you up and told him yourself, just sit down, shut up, and wait.

Actually we knew on the 14th on Macrumors front page from an internal ATT memo leak. With a german source backing it up. And its not really "insider knowledge", since it was reported pretty widely before the 15th. Also, no its not assumptions, it was news that was reported across a ton of sites.

Where did I ever claim I have insider knowledge? Its obvious there are not going be selling the white iPhone on launch day. Its not even available for pre-order on apple's website. If Apple is not selling it on launch day, no one is.

Your ACTING like you do by making a direct statement: "The iPhone is not available until late summer"...implying your copy and pasting from some Apple statement. Your not. You have no clue when they will be available, and could very well be in stores June 24th. No one knows.

Picking on grammar does not change the fact that Apple still hasn't made an official statement. You can not take an AT&T memo and make that Apple fact. If Apple comes out and says no white on launch day, then there likely will not be any on launch day. Until then anything is possible.

Yeah, from AT&T...but not from Apple directly. How could you know that? You could ASSUME that, yes, but how could you KNOW that?
 
i think men with white iphones are confused about their sexuality.. me thinks the guy in texas will order a white one for sure
