Found Footage: iPhone boxes arrive at AT&T stores
A recent YouTube video suggests that AT&T has received their first shipment of iPhones. In the video, an AT&T employee or manager unboxes the unseemly amount of iPhones and stacks them on a shelf where they are locked up for safe keeping. An interesting note: the white 16GB iPhones come in white boxes.

I'll be grabbing mine from a Rogers store in Canada.
Then I'll just be refreshing http://www.iphone-hacks.com waiting for an iPhone 3G Hack to surface.

Well there's some blatant self promotion for you. I won't be waiting for that site to publish anything myself :P

When I first saw the white boxes I was shocked that Apple would do this....then I remembered the good old days - when there were never black Apple Products....BTW that flimsy case def. wouldn't hold me back.

"On an iPhone?" iPod touch actually and that link still didn't work.
"Video Unavailable
THis video does not currently support iPhone"

Saw one on the counter of an ATT store in Columbus Ohio last Friday. Looked quite loney, but it's dad wasn't willing to let it go home with me. May try again in the morning. You know how those ATT sales people are.

That video just reminds me why I won't be going to AT&T this time.
At an AT&T store, it's "us" and "them" when it comes to selling iPhones. Like they're doing us a favor.
But at the Apple Store, we're all in this together.
Huge difference.

Totally agree... at ATT last year they weren't clapping or even thanking people for their business. Just trying to sell everybody a ton of accessories.

So it looks like 80 total iPhones. 60 Black 16 GB and 20 White 16 GB. No Black 8 GB.
Not very many, but they must be getting another shipment since their was no 8 GB.
To be safe I think I'll sill go to an Apple Store just because I want a white one

Well, it looks like 80 iPhones per AT&T store. (8 boxes, 10 iPhones in each box)
I'm sure the allocation is larger for bigger, prime stores.

So each box holds 10 and there's 6 boxes so they only got 60! yikes! looks like you'll be better off to go to an apple store

I was in the local AT&T store in the northern part of Cincinnati today. They tried to act as though none were in stock... finally one of the guys came out of the back, and picked up our conversation midway through. He slipped, said something, the others looked ready to kill him. They got 10 in stock early for some reason... they only expect to get 30 total, and the majority (20-25) of those are 8GB. The other store in our area said the exact same thing regarding quantities.

which store in cincy were you at?
lukedooley said 11:45AM on 7-10-2008
The two stores I referenced were the Bridgewater store in Hamilton township, and the Tylersville Rd. store.
You planning to buy? Where you hoping to go?

Was it just me or was that the same location as where the iPhone 3G upgrade videos from AT&T were filmed?
