I will have to wait at least 10 days for the next shipment, but at least I have a guaranteed iPhone on the way...still bummed about the wait, though (I need my own Wait-a-thon!!)!</p> Finally went to the AT&T store in NYC to get my 3G, but unfortunately all NYC stores are out and they're only taking pre-orders.

Most AT&T store managers felt that Apple WOULD be prepared to fulfill the majority of the orders. Did Apple have manufacturing/production issues? Was there a shortage of parts? Even now, they are struggling to even keep up with direct-fulfillment orders. In the end, this will cause many iPhone-wanters to jump ship and go for one of the competitors phones.</p> One million units is indeed a log, but they likely could've easily sold two million (or more) in the very first three days if they'd been prepared.

I am seriously considering buying, but after reading this interesting FAQ, I think I will have to pass...or is there a way around these issues?

They're sold out at the stores. What they'll do is take your money and have one shipped to the store for activation when it arrives. That will take 7-10 days. I doubt that you'll see one available in inventory for walk up customers for a while because they've been taking orders from customers from early Friday morning (let's say at about 9AM Eastern) through today.</p> @skip.

After waiting in line in Apex, NC for an iPhone on Friday the staff at the AT&T store said that they were taking orders for deliveries to the store in 7-10 days. I figured I had time to do this at any point in time so I bought my 16GB iPhone today. Now I'll be counting the days until I get the call from the store but at least I know it's on the way.</p> +1.

Is it safe to try the 2.0 upgrade yet? I don't want to try until I hear that all the server problems, etc. are fixed and I won't need to spend a day upgrading my phone. I just want the update process to go smooth. Is it ok to do so now....or is waiting still recommended?</p> What about us "old" iPhone folks? Is it safe to try the 2.0 upgrade yet?
