AT&T's iPhone 3G S Preorders Already Sold Out

According to report by the Computer World, AT&T and Best Buy have sold out their pre-order allotments of the iPhone 3G S, slated to go on sale Friday, but Apple said it still was taking early orders.

An Apple sales representative, however, stressed that the June 19 arrival date now shown on the company's site was only "an estimate."

AT&T has told its customer reps to inform preorder customers that they have sold out. This started on Saturday, so if you waited until the weekend to preorder your phone, you may be waiting a while to get it.

Best Buy, the electronics retail chain that also sells the Apple iPhone, said Saturday that it had exhausted its pre-order supply as well.

Apple, on the other hand, is still taking pre-orders, both on its Web site and over the phone, an Apple sales representative said. Asked if Apple is still guaranteeing that pre-ordered phones would arrive Friday, he answered, "It's an estimated date."
