"We fully expect one or more of our stores to run out of stock on the first or second day -- my guess is the first day," says Larry Carter, senior vice president of sales for AT&T, the iPhone's exclusive U.S. distributor.
Yikes! That is a huge departure from what AT&T was saying just a few days ago! better not be my store that runs out! Aaaarrrggghhhh!
Crowd control on launch day is a concern. In some markets -- Carter declined to name them -- AT&T is working with local law enforcement on crowd-control plans.
Whoa, detail cops? Did they have any for the Xbox360 or PS3? They probably hsould have.
Carter would not say which stores will have the biggest iPhone stockpiles
Grrrrrrr.
If your local store sells out, Carter says, salespeople will take mail orders, and iPhones will be shipped in three to five days, inventory permitting.
There are other surprises in the works for June 29. In addition to launching the iPhone that day, Carter says AT&T also will announce new service plans for it.
