I hear that some stores are carrying the high res maybe call around and see if anyone close has it>
No, you have to order it from Apple.com
ALTHOUGH, two of my local Apple Stores do carry a few CTO high res models. Call around and see if any of your local stores have some...

No!
I called around today and it seems that stores ONLY have the two "base" models of the 15", and then limited quantity of 2.3Ghz + High-Res Antiglare.
Obviously HDD and RAM can be swapped for any model as can software, but in terms of CPU+Screens, you're limited to these three options

Simple. Call Apple customer service & they will answer your questions. Everyone's situations are unique. The chances of getting an accurate answer on the forum is very low.

Thanks for clarifying. After reading your post, I called back, and they confirmed it. The guy told me they don't even make base model 15" with a high-res screen. I told him they do, but it sounds like I'd have to order it BTO. I don't even know how I'd replace my current MBP with a BTO online. Guess I'll keep my standard-res. That's what I get for having to have it on release day.
Can't you order the BTO online now & then you return your current MBP to the place of purchase for a full refund?
Experience shows that they say they have a particular model your looking for in stock, but when you actually go to the store and ask... they don't.
I think its a way to get you to walk into the store, get disappointed about your selection not being available, but then be able to place an order in the store, or see another one they have in stock that you might get interested so you would buy from the store.

This happened to me. I called on Thursday, they said they had the 15" 2.2ghz AG in stock, I canceled my online order, went to pick up that model and it turned out they only had the 2.3ghz AG. After being a bit bummed, and agreeing to pay $125 for the upgrade (as opposed to $250), they knocked it all the way down to the original price (actually, +$10, but I wasn't so worried about that

That's what I ended up doing.
