Out of iPhones

Justine Ezarik dances to music while on hold, then the video shows her reacting to the repeated news that each store she calls is out of stock on the iPhone 3G. Her eyes widen comically each time she hears those words "out of stock." At one point she wails, "Why is Steve doing this? This is torture!" She repeatedly gets put on hold, and never finds a store with any in stock.¹
