Instead of waiting till the 14th for my phone to be delivered, I was thinking of trying my luck going to one of the stores that carry the iPhone on opening day. Which do you think will have the most in stock and the best chance of getting the phone? Apple store, Best Buy, Radio Shack or AT&T?

Did a poll need to be made for this? For example, the Apple Store had over 100 3GS phones on launch day, and the AT&T store had something like 32

In my opinion, I would head over to an apple store very very early Thursday morning as that would give you the best chance of getting one. Apple stores will definitely have the most stock

I was thinking Apple would have the most but they probably will have the largest line as well.

My money's on Radio Shack. It only makes sense for the smallest and least popular of the retailers to get the most amount of iPhones.

You guys might be underestimating the smaller stores. Everyone's gonna show up to Apple and get SHUTOUT and those who go to the smaller stores leave with a shiny new iPhone 4. :D
