I think what was happening last night was that many put the phones in their "shopping cart" to decide.. and by doing that, it marked inventory (in your area / carrier) as sold / hold. For that reason... and that I wanted to go to sleep (which also failed)... I had to go with a 128GB instead of a 32GB Matte Black. I had the 32 in my cart, said 9/16... took it out to look at something different, and then POOF, 2-3 week shipping delay. However I read from several this morning, they logged in at 2:30 / 3:30 am and scooped up a 32GB Matte Black from AT&T and/or Apple?
So either a cart thing, or an area/regional thing.
Jet Black did not stand a chance of being in stock very long. Like the 1st time Gold came out.
