i heard the same thing, i was dealing with customer service last week, and was planning to order one, but wanted to check to be sure there wasnt any at my local store. The rep on the phone said he saw 9000 in the warehouse (im assuming a local chicagoland warehouse for me), and they would ship out within 2 days. Well i told him to note on my account the details we had talked about so i could check the store first. The store had none, and the doofus never made a note on my account, so as many of you, im here in the dark. lame i want to play with my new phone haha
