Here are some picture of the waiting lines……

 

The situation in the US, Hundreds wait at Verizon stores for BlackBerry Storm:

More than 200 people had waited at a Verizon store in mid-town Manhattan early in the morning, many of whom were turned away after it ran out of the new phones less than an hour after opening at 8 a.m. The angry customers caused a ruckus and police came to restore order.

Verizon said hundreds of others were in lines outside its stores up and down the U.S. east coast, but added that it had "plenty of phones" and would keep getting more shipments. It declined to give specifics on inventory levels.

 

Vodafone in the UK reports as well, Vodafone struggling to meet Storm demand:

Vittorio Colao told a small group of journalists after a speech at an Ofcom event that the phone was selling very well.

"We might end up having a problem with giving enough Storms to as many customers who want it," he said. "It’s going very well, we might be short of them, to be honest."

 

Engadget is reporting as well, BlackBerry Storm sells out hard and fast

We don’t have official confirmation of this yet, but we’re hearing from all over that Verizon’s launch of the BlackBerry Storm has so far been a raging success — from what we can tell, it’s sold out nearly everywhere, and the online store is buckling under the load of thousands of eager buyers. Sounds like RIM’s on track for a hit — any of you have any luck scoring a Storm today? How’d it go? Digging the SurePress screen?
