Contrary to AT&T Inc.'s own sales policy, a majority of the company's retail stores have unofficial waiting lists for Apple Inc.'s iPhone, a Web-based research firm said yesterday.
According to Channel Checkers, 64% of the 36 AT&T phone stores it surveyed reported keeping a waiting list for the new cell phone, which Apple has promised will launch before the end of next month. The remaining 36% of the surveyed stores said they would sell the iPhone on a first-come, first-serve basis only, the policy AT&T laid down in a sales document which leaked to the Internet last week.
I called 2 Cingular corporate-owned stores in LA, and neither is taking pre-orders or waiting list reservations. I tend to doubt too many stores are doing so, due to Cingular's express orders to not do so...
Just because there is a waiting list doesn't mean they will sell to those on the list if it exists. Im on the waiting list for a million dollars, it doesn't mean I'll get it!
That's interesting because I read a lot of articles the other week about how the iPhone wasn't going to be available for pre-sale or waiting lists or anything like that. They said shipping would start on June and one couldn't reserve a spot it was just a first-come-first-serve thing...?
