So are phones still available in the stores?

AT&T in upstate NY have plenty. This was a lot like the Verizon release. Huge pre order, and in store release wasn't too bad.

I was in line behind only 2 other folks early this morning in Eastern Washington. By the time the store opened there were probably about 30 people. A bit later when I was leaving with my new phone another 30 or so folks had shown up. That particular Verizon store said they had received 110 iPhones.

A Verizon store in southwest Oklahoma has just sold their last 32gb 4s, but they are supposed to get more tomorrow.

Yes, I had a weak moment. Oh well. LOL

A few of my friends walked to The (Radio) Shack and walked out with an iPhone 4S on each of the 3 networks.

My daughter just reported that everyplace within 80 miles of her is sold out of the AT&T version in all options. Just taking orders now for delivery in ten days to two weeks.

I guess it depends on where you are and how many they stocked.

I pre-ordered on 10/8 (cause that was my updgrade date), and i was due to get my shipment on the 21st. I just happened to be in the Vzw store today and one of the reps whom I had done alot of business with, and even showed her a few things, was there and cancelled my pre order and got me set up with a 32 GB 4S on the spot.

And, btw... overall I'm very happy with it.

That's the beauty of pre-ordering. It keeps the foot traffic in stores, down to a minimum. Your experience would have been much different if not for the pre-ordering system.

As for camping out at Apple stores, I would venture to say it's more about the experience.
