United States: New York City AT&T stores are completely sold out, while Apple retail locations may have some left. Reports are also filtering in from around the country that stores are selling out in: Chicago, Atlanta, Detroit, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Phoenix, Seattle, Orlando, Little Rock, Dallas, Topeka, Milwaukee, Cleveland, Ventura, Glendale, Pasadena, Baltimore, Louisville, and others.
Lots of disgruntled-after-waiting-long-hours-in-line iPhone enthusiasts are being turned away with the promise of receiving the long-awaited Apple handset in 7-10 days.
Japan: Softbank, the lone carrier selling the iPhone in Japan, reportedly sold out at three of its Tokyo locations before July 11th via advanced orders. The third largest mobile provider in Japan also reported ~1,500 camping out in front of other downtown stores at opening. Though it’s unsure how many actually received an iPhone before Softbank sold out, the jubilant crowd counted down the final 30 seconds leading up to launch.
United Kingdom: O2 had a limited online sale of its iPhone 3G stock earlier this week in the UK and sold out within hours (amidst some technical issues). Steve Adler, spokesman for 02, said they plan to have more in-stock for their official launch: “We ordered lots. We’ve seen the demand the first time, but we’re even blown away by this demand. I think it is unprecedented.” However, we’ve learned that most (if not all) retail 02 stores have already sold out with only 12-24 iPhones in stock.
We’ll keep you up-to-date as word comes in, we’re constantly updating the above with more cities…

Apparently, America was panicking less when Katrina hit New Orleans…
They’re only “sold out” of the units they’re willing to sell today. Go back tomorrow. It’s all marketing hype, and you’ve perpetuated it.
