Went over to Radioshack, bought an iPhone 4. No preorder necessary.

That's what's up.
They had like 10 of them in the back, I saw the shelf.
When did Radio Shack start carrying AT&T?
It seems that I can reserve an iPhone to pick up at the store any weekday this week too on their website.
They carry every carrier they can so that they can convince you to switch and get more commissions from carriers. (seriously)
Similar here... I called to ask if they were getting any white models in, and they said weren't taking any more pre-orders but could put me on a waiting list... and apparently I was on the top of the list, so the day after the launch I was called and told there was an extra black one if I wanted it... I said sure, cause two people in the same apartment with a white iphone could get annoying.
So, one day after launch Radio Shack had received more iPhones, when a local walmart and two AT&T stores (!!!) weren't getting any. Weird.

I see no way to reserve on their website. It says to check your local store for availability.
U serious? Or am I missing the question? Since before the iP4 launch Radio Shack, Best Buy, and Walmart were all announced as vendors to have iP4's on Launch day. Radio Shack even had the nifty trade in program for your old iPhones if you did not want to mess with selling it on your own. So I guess the best answer to your question is at least as far back as June 24

Any problems such as antena issue or yellowing or proximity sensor or anything?
Let me clear up things, since I work at radioshack. For one we carry every carrier except verizon, and that includes pre paid phones. Also we don't do pre orders for the iphones, generally what happens is a sales associate will ask for your information and when the phone becomes readily available we contact you and first to come gets the phone. And yes we do make commission on phones just like every other wireless carrier, so I dont see your point?
I have a Q, If I put my name on a list at a Local Radio Shack for an iPhone when they do not have the store listed up on their site, will they even get one? I ask this because The local AT&T and Walmart do not have or are not selling them either, and I do not want to wait for my Apple online order.
One of you must be very lucky.
I live in central NJ and none of the Radio
Shack stores in the area (and that is 5 stores)
have had an iPhone since launch.
Furthermore, I was in NYC last week and
went to prominent Radio Shack stores in
Port Authority and Herald Square and both
reported not having any phones since launch.
Meanwhile banners still hang in the Radio
Shack store advertising the phone and if
you call, you hear "Thank You for calling
Radio Shack home of the iPhone 4."

I called my local Shack. They answered
SHACK GUY: "Thanks for calling Radio Shack, home of the new iPhone 4, can I help you?"
ME: "Do you have any iPhones"
SHACK GUY: "HA HA HA"
ME: "Yea, thats what I thought."

Honestly even though I work there, I would say your best bet would be to pick it up wherever you can get it. Simply because being on a list doesn't guarantee you a phone when they get it in, even if you are at the top of the list.
