On Monday i was thinking the same thing. im just gonna walk in and their gonna be in stock! Wow was i wrong. They are sold out in every store in my area. Worst part is i sold my 4s thinking i was gonna get a 5s quickly, now im stuck with a palm pre 2 till best buy gets more. I was told it should be 1 to 2 months!!

OUCH! As much as I liked WebOS, I hated that hardware. Hope you manage to get a 5S soon :) so your PP2 can RIP

I happened to be in Best Buy this afternoon and decided to check out the 5c, just to see what it looked and felt like. During the conversation I was told I could get $300 on a trade in for my 16GB iPhone 5. They also happened to have a 32GB gold 5s. I have a few phones on my plan (through my family and business) so I have an upgrade available every few months. Needless to say, I walked out with a 5s with twice the capacity for $35 (the Verizon activation fee). I am quite happy. I was surprised because I thought there was a shortage of the "champagne" model.

So tell me, what part of China do you live in???

I was so close to selling my phone also (galaxy S2). I had a quote on it at Best Buy, they were going through the paperwork and I backed out at the last minute just in case there was a problem with me getting a 5S. I have a flip phone that I have to use for work purposes and I was thinking I could carry that for a day or 2. Nearly 2 weeks later I'm very thankful I didn't sell it.

I got my gold 5s tonight. It took less time then I though. It was like torture not having a proper smartphone. Glad it's over. Really enjoying my 5s
