Reports: NYC Not Ready for iPhones

New Yorkers hoping to add an iPhone to their holiday stockings may have been left wondering where all the smart phones disappeared to. Consumerist reports that AT&T has quietly pulled iPhones from shelves in the New York City area, in a surreptitious attempt to alleviate its overcrowded network. One customer attempting to purchase the coveted iPhone through AT&T was told by a representative that "New York is not ready for the iPhone" because of a paucity of towers. BGR has a slightly different story, and reports that iPhones are available in-store, just not online.
