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.
