It’s Monday morning and only four Apple retail stores have the iPhone 3G in stock. According to the availability tool, you can pick up a black 16GB at the Stoneridge Mall in Pleasanton, CA, a white 16 GB at Rockingham Park in Salem, New Hampshire, a black 8 GB at The Falls in Miami, FL, and all three models at Briarwood in Ann Arbor, MI, That’s it. There’s no more.

And though new stock is arriving daily at stores across the country, if purchasing from an AT&T store, you may have to wait up to three weeks to get your hands on the newest Apple phone.

When the original iPhone came out, a similar shortage occurred, though it seems to be worse this time around due to an international release, stretching supplies thin.

iPhone 3G is selling out almost everywhere, and the shortage of Apple’s newest handset could last up to a month. Those who did not get them during the launch day is pretty much out of luck if they plan to purchase one this month. While Apple is trying very hard to boost the iPhone 3G availability, it will still take sometime for the supplier to get it over to the store chain.

While the shortage continues, it does not mean all Apple’s retail stores are out of stock; according to a Macworld’s article, 27 percent of Apple’s store shows the iPhone 3Gs are in stock.

The black 16GB iPhone is the lowest in availability on those stores, however the 8GB iPhone 3G is starting to disappear from the shelf too. International sales seems to be taking away a big chunk of iPhone 3G inventory, unlike last year when only US hogging the stocks.
