Pathetic

Take it to the Apple store or AT&T Wireless store for repair or replacement.

Problem with that is they might take a while to fix it and thats your cell phone.

I dunno. Once the rush is over I wouldn't be surprised if most repair parts are stocked locally. The one time I had a refurbed Mac Pro in for service it was repaired and ready for pickup in 24 hours. I had a MacBook in for a heatsink update, dropped it off at 10AM and picked it up at 2PM the same day.

I'm just not seeing where there are shortages. I wouldn't be surprised that the first shipment sells out, but I would be surprised if you couldn't walk into any Apple store NEXT Friday and just pick up an iPhone. The online Apple Store while claiming 2-4 week delivery is allowing 2 phones per order.

I don't think parts will be hard to come by and will be stocked. It's just a matter if iPhone repairs will be done locally if you bring it into an Apple Store.

I would have to think it would be hard to repair the phones and that it would take awhile for them to complete the repairs on it. I would figure repairing a computer would be quite fast because the parts are easily changeable but on a phone I wouldn't see the repairs done so fast especially around the first month of releasing the product.

I would think it would go about as fast as an iPod but I've never had an iPod die on me so I don't know what their turn around is. My Razr V3 took a crap (the outer LCD died) and AT&T told me 3 weeks to get it back. I ended up just buying a Slvr L7/iTunes off eBay.

The iPhones have been in use for a long time so HOPEFULLY the bugs are worked out and any manufacturing quirks were as well.

Maybe it's a good reason for those interested to wait 3-4 months for a 'revision A' iPhone.

I have a Slvr L7 also I love my phone I would wait its like any new product its best to tread lightly until they revise the phone and clean up bugs that certainly will occur.
