iPhone delays of 2-4wks for online orders

Apple has added the iPhone to its online storefront, listing the 4GB model for $499 and the 8GB model for $599 as previously announced. Customers eager to get their hands on the devices will have to wait, however, as the Cupertino-based company has posted an expected 2-4 week wait for online orders to arrive and also noted that iPhone orders limited to two per customer. AT&T and Apple Stores today opened their doors at 6:00 p.m. ET to sell the first iPhones to thousands of consumers who were anxiously waiting in line -- some of whom began waiting as early as Monday this week -- to purchase the devices.

In suburban Chicago, I arrived at an AT&T store at 10pm and ordered one to be delivered overnight by AT&T. The process was simple; unlike any other phone purchase at a wireless store. Employees were not allowed to tell how many they received, or exactly when they sold out, but I was told they were gone in the first two hours. After that time, the salesman said they had been taking orders like mine all even in steady flow.

I saw 2 8 gig models on sale on ebay as a pair for $10,200. I was supposed to have one, but shortsightedness on the part of another changed all that!
