Android G1 Sold Out During Pre-Order

G1, the Android/HTC smartphone, is also rivalling the iPhone in terms of short supply.
Very quickly users came forth reporting that customer service representatives were stating there was a very limited supply. Three days after pre-orders started it has been confirmed that there are no more devices available for a pre-order. There is no word on production levels, nor whether dealers will have any models on hand come the official release. Rumors of the white G1 experiencing paint chipping seem very possible with the lack of the white model for pre-order.
While there definitely won't be anything like iPhone launch day madness, don't be surprised if the launch supply is exhausted by demand and they're a bit scarce in the immediate aftermath.

jordan, I like this story. It's good stuff.
Is this a new marketing scam to increase sales or free publicity?
Will Nokkia do the same thing with their new phone?

G1 is so cool.
It forced Apple to sell iphone in HK unlocked which is interesting.
