AT&T running out of iPhones, iTunes activation overloaded, Lines moving slow

We are getting many reports in from readers having less than stellar experiences getting their 3G iPhones….hardly unexpected considering the pent-up demand.  A few readers have written in to say that AT&T has given them iPhones to activate at home.   Others at AT&T say that they ordered their iPhone but won’t recieve it for "another few days as stocks become available." 

We haven’t had any reports from Apple Store customers who are running out (oops – yes we have – this one only has a few hundred left) but the activation is taking much longer than anticipated.

How is it going for you?
