I heard the high volume Apple stores had some serious volume of phones in stock. A buddy of mine sent me a photo of the Apple store in Southlake, Texas and they had several hundred phones in stock. They had them all stacked up on the back shelve divided by type and many many more unopened boxes on the floor. The line was about 1.5 hours to buy one.
If you have such a store in your area it may be worth checking out.
