White Iphone 4

Why Can't I pre-order the white Iphone 4? It says I can't pre-order and it is also not available in store for pick up! Does anyone know why?
Thanks

Ok I called bestbuy after reading the post just a few back.

You can preorder the white iphone 4 from them. But he checked while i was on the phone and said it WILL NOT arrive on the launch date June 24th. He was told it is scheduled to arrive 2-3 weeks after but did not have an actual date as of yet.

The way you preorder through best buy is you buy a $50 gift card and it gets the iPhone 4 SKU # placed on it to reserve your phone. You do not have to pay the full purchase price til you come in to pick up the phone.

so if you want the white one looks like youll have to wait a few extra. Im going ahead and preordering mine in hopes of getting to the front of that line at least.

i went to my bestbuy and they were taking reserves on white iphones. they were confident the phone would arrive on the 24th. they may be mis-informed, but worst case scenario, i get the phone when it launches, even if its 2 months from now and i get peace of mind.

and although apple makes a superior quality product and im still buying it, i feel a little better about taking a few at&t commision dollars out of apples hands for the stunt they pulled.

like i said, nothing to lose.

apple isn't going to come out with the phone weeks before they give it to retailers..so if it does come out on the 24th at least you have it reserved, if it comes out 3 weeks later - it will be the same with apple anyways, and if by chance you do find it elsewhere quicker, you suck it up and spend the $50 store credit at best buy on accessories.

So, let me get this straight?

Best Buy is allowing you to "reserve" a white iphone 4 that will NOT arrive on June 24th, but instead 2-3 weeks after?

Well thats good enough for me. Thats better than everyone else saying "uhhh i dunno when..."

So, maybe by early August I can retire my white iPhone 3G and pick up my white iPhone 4. Thats good news!!

Thanks for the info...Im headed to Best Buy now.
