Not sure why they ordered so few but T-Mobile USA retail stores have already sold out of the HD2. I was at the store at 9AM and they sold out by 9:30!

I guess they didn't realize how popular it would be.

T-mo's logistic department has probably underestimated the demand for that phone in some areas of the US...maybe they weren't expecting such a high popularity for a device that doesn't have a bitten apple engraved on the back ;)

I wouldn't be surprised as well if they wanted to sell out to make the phone look better. I bought it at a low traffic store who only got 6 and they didn't have enough for everyone waiting outside. I got mine though.

there are two tmobile stores near me, only four blocks apart. one got 8 and the other 15. i got the second to last one at the store that had 8, some people ahead of me bought more than one. the poor people that weren't buying hd2's were stuck in line for at least half an hour cuz it was taking so long to process the hd2 orders!

My local store got about 150...and sold out.

Then again, my local store is also the closest store to Microsoft's campus, so that's not entirely surprising.

Nope, not sold out nation wide, Abilene, Texas only has one tmo store in the Mall and it had a few. No one was even there looking at it except me... for like an hour... but still may have to wait to see what iphone "4" offers before I decide to switch from att to tmo, etc..

I was very unhappy that I drove all the way to Miami Lakes (I was told they still had a few) from Pines and the girl told me she just sold the last one. I was pissed! How can T-Mobile launch a phone they want to be an Iphone killer and not keep up with demand?

I ordered two from customer care over the phone but now I have to wait for delivery.

My local store (fairly busy area) sold out in 5 minutes. The time it took 3 employees to ring up 4 people. Coulda told us sooner that it was the last one lol.

Should have just stayed home and done the online thing like I ended up doing :)

I bought two of them at my local store; one for me and one for my wife. They had a waiting list that they started on Saturday and sold all of them (they got 25) from the pre-order list. Only those people who were on the pre-order interest list got them. BOGO on an upgrade yielded two HD2's for $199.00. You can't beat that.

All tmobile stores in Minneapolis/St Paul area sold out by 3 PM. I watched the last one get sold and unfortunatly it wasn't to me. I have found an authorized dealer who says they havn't gotten theirs yet. As soon as I get the call saying they are stocked I'll post.

San Antonio, Texas (it's huge)

You don't happen to live in San Antonio.

Because that's what they told me at the T-mobile store in La Cantera Mall. They apparently were suppose to receive 22 but only received 6. My brother in law got one, but I didn't :( and they aren't even sure when the next shipment is.

It is possible they decreased numbers in all America to increase interest.
