That online matrix is wrong. The iphone was sold out at the two stores I went to in the LA area, even though Apple implies otherwise.

AT&T was sold out before I left the mall I was at in NJ.

iPhones arrive most days and availability is updated nightly.

The site shows the status for the next day - not the current inventory status.

Don''t know ..In hermosa Ca. they acted like it was almost sold out but when I cot in there was a ton on the shelf ...I asked " if that was all they had ,and the guy said he couldn't disclose the amount he had in back ..?? Seems they are really embellishing the seen with Apple employees at the door applauding your sacred acquisition Like you just got a Zoo at Farrells disappointed .. A cup of tea would of been much cooler .. Oh well I love this Phone 10 times as much as my disappointment ...And man am I disappointed ! "COME ON PALM PROGRAMERS !!!!

I think the thousands of iPhones on eBay are a result of excellent marketing and supply by Apple. Not only did their marketing create the necessary hype (and one can't ignore the media's job in creating that hype either), but then they backed it up with enough supply to make sure everyone could get one. It's like Willy Wonka keeping enough chocolate bars in the store and every one of them having a golden ticket ... haha. Seriously, though, I think all the eBay phones are a result of numerous "scalpers" assuming that Apple would not have enough supply to meet the hype-created demand and that a fortune was to be made by buying extra phones and immediately putting them on eBay for the expected desperate to purchase once the stores quickly ran dry. I'm laughing my head off about that. Apple has done it right so far. I casually walked into a local Apple store, no line (around 10pm last night), bought my iPhone, activated it painlessly online (with my existing number), and I'm already on my way, enjoying a superb product. I'm brand new to the Apple world, by the way (with the exception of my iPod), and so far, I'm very impressed with the quality and thoughtfulness of the product.

I actually agree with this and it's a very nice change for once.

It's a shame that sometimes things get released and people take advantage of the shortage and jack up the price, so it's great to see every can get one for their actual retail price and not get screwed.

Nothing wrong with being an iHATER but if all the stores had sold out he would have said, "Look at the disaster Apple and AT&T created can't even deliver the product".

They will sell what the market bears out and IF and this is a BIG if Apple starts doing up dates to the iPHONE apps to improve them they will sell more.

iPHONE is not perfect but it is a good product.
