Although not even a day has passed since the official launch of the iPhone 4 CDMA in the network of the operator Verizon in the USA, the stock available for customers has already been exhausted. Of course, it is not known exactly how many terminals were made available by Apple, but last summer a similar situation happened when AT&T and Apple started pre-orders, then around 1.7 million terminals were sold in the first days after the opening of pre-orders . A new batch of devices will be available starting February 9, but even then there will be limited quantities. Verizon has "asked" its employees not to purchase iPhone 4 terminals for now because there are not enough of them.

Along with the opening of pre-orders, Verizon also launched a new advertising spot for the iPhone 4. The company is aggressively promoting the product, but Apple is not able to deliver a sufficient number of devices.
UPDATE: Verizon announced that in just 2 hours he managed to "beat" the sales record on the day of the launch of a product. So in just two hours, the iPhone 4 managed to exceed the highest number of sales recorded by Verizon on the day of the launch of another product. That says a lot about iPhone 4 and about Apple.
