According to news site The Consumerist, AT&T has silently pulled the plug on iPhone availability in New York City in direct response to infrastructure issues. This means gamers in New York City planning on purchasing an iPhone for playing games on the go may struggle to get a hold of the device.
According to the source, iPhones are still available in the Apple Stores, but they're not available online.

Update: iPhones are apparently being sold again to New York City customers.
"I went to the AT&T site to verify what Stephen said. Sure enough, the iPhone was available to zip codes in San Francisco and other major cities. It was not available to purchase for people living anywhere in New York City, or any of the suburban zip codes in Westchester County or northern New Jersey that I tried. Was it a web site bug? I hopped online with a customer service chat rep to check."
