AT&T sells out of launch day iPhone 3GS pre-orders
AT&T has completely sold through its launch day supply of pre-order iPhone 3GS units, according to a new report. Citing an internal AT&T memo, Boy Genius Report claims that only pre-orders placed prior to Saturday, June 13 are expected to arrive at stores in time for a Friday morning pick-up, while customers placing pre-orders after that time should be told their order will arrive between 7-14 days from the order date. It is currently unclear whether this will have any affect on online pre-orders, or standby stock for customers who chose not to pre-order. AT&T will open its stores at 7:00 a.m. Friday morning to allow pre-order customers to come in and receive their iPhone 3GS before the stores open for general sales at 8:00.

ahh here come the sheep to be slaughtered. the iphone was hot when it FIRST came out. however no need to panic for ANOTHER update to the hardware. at least wait to see if there any bugs. as for me im waiting to see them sort out the MMS feature first and how much they are gonna be charging.

Does this mean AT&T;isn’t going to be worried about all the on-line complaints from iPhone 3G owners ineligible for the full subsidized price on the 3GS?

AT&T;can go and kiss my black iphone 3G’s ###! It’s all HYPE folks to make us believe AT&T;is out of stock on the new 3GS. I for one will wait this one out… maybe next year’s model.
