We’ve been getting a bunch of hits for people looking for availability. As wetwired is not apple we couldn’t possibly take the time to go to every ATT store and Apple store and keep up with that stuff but because I posted about what stores had stuff when I or my buddies were in the buying process the questions keep coming.

The best method to find out availability is to go here. This is the Texas iPhone availability page that gets updated nightly. It does not include the ATT stores but you can be willing to bet that its just as sparse. Right now the best method is direct shipment to get a phone.

I can tell you that one of our old posters has given up looking for one and just ordered direct shipment.  The store salesguy explained that the lead time is 7-10 days but usually its a lot quicker.
