At least in California!!
Almost all of the other states still have stock.
One report in Vegas that they had plenty in stock of the 4GB but only 4 left of the 8GB as of 9AM Saturday morning. Sounds like the 8GB is the hot ticket.
Understandably so $100 for double the memory!!! Mine’s an 8GB!!

Here’s what I recommend as it just finished activating.
Connect the iPhone to the another iTunes, preferably the iTunes for the lucky one who got the iPhone. So it could either be another computer or another account on the same computer.
Then start the activation process and select add new phone to an existing plan. Enter the phone number of the phone with an existing plan and then complete the registration process
I added one iPhone last night around 11pm. At 8:50am this morning I received an email notifying me that the iPhone was activated and showed me my new number. I then connected to the iTunes account and the iPhone started and completed the activation process.
The I set the Sync preferences and after a few minutes, all the information had transferred and the iPhone was ready to go.

Looks like the answer is YES. Apple has a locator web page to show which Apple stores still have product.
Check it out before you plan to head to your local Apple Store.
Show me the available list

In a word AWESOME.
So far I have connected to my wireless airport, surfed You-Tube and watched the Jets video, setup my imap email account. Setup the weather and stocks. Synced my tunes, videos, contacts and made a phone call.
It all works and is fully integrated.
The typing works. Editing is easy.
Excellent job Apple.

I called the number from the email and again got someone this time within the first minute. I have to asy I am shocked. Did AT&T staff up one rep for every iPhone sold??? So far I’m impressed.
Let’s see how well we go from here:
I started my call with Colby and I let her know about the email I received and she verified my info and stated that she needed to transfer me to another department so that the rate plan issue could be resolved.
Again within a minute she had me transferred to another AT&T representative (Ladan) and she verified all my info and then added my original plan into her system. She seemed to now what she was doing.
She informed me that she would be activating my phone shortly. Cool I might get this thing working tonight!!!
Sure enough she is asking for my IMEI number and ICCID number. Upon her entering the info into her system my iPhone started to come alive…..
It was now in the process of activation. She had me power down my iPhone and start it backup for it to take the activation.
The only issue left was the transfer of the phone number. Ladan attempted a few calls, but it kept ringing my old Treo. After a few more tries she stated that I may have to wait for Sprint to release the number to them.
That was acceptable, so I asked if she would wait while I connected the iPhone to iTunes and she was all for it. I connected the phone, sorry “iPhone”, this is not just a phone, and iTunes saw it and jumped right into the activation to where it asked for my iPhone name.
From this point I now had access to my iPhone and could start playing.
I was even able to make a test call out, but still have to wait for Sprint to receive calls.
I’m happy, it works. Now its play time!!!
Call length: 54 Minutes.

I received an email from AT&T stating:
“Your current AT&T rate plan is not compatible with the iPhone.
Please contact AT&T at 877-419-4500 to select a new rate plan and complete your activation.”
So she was right. So I called them back.

I contact AT&T and within 2 minutes I was on the phone with an AT&T representative (Maurine). I was happy I was able to get someone so fast. I think she was learning the setup, just as I was. But I will give her the credit due that every question asked was either answered or I was put on hold so she could find out and she came back with an answer.
It turns out that the plan I selected was not in her(AT&T) system yet. So 4000 minute plan in iTunes was not available to her and she stated that since she could not change the plan that it would most likely activate within 24 hours.
She put me on hold once more and them came back stating that the transfer of my phone number was in progress and that she may be able to activate it immediately. Then to find out that Sprint needed to release my number. She informed me that I would either get an email or phone call from an AT&T Representative within the next 24 hours.
This call lasted 45 minutes.

I get an email stating:
“Phone service is scheduled to be disconnected on your current phone at or after 12:26 AM EDT on July 01. Please check your email and be prepared to reconnect and activate your iPhone before that time. Please call 877-800-3701 if you’d like to make other arrangements.”
WHAT!!!! Arghh!!! 24 Hours!!!!
So I want to know how long it will really take. So I call.
