Amazon is probably considered a subdealer of AT&T, in which case they won't have the iPhone. As far as I know, AT&T never made the iPhone available to subdealers, only certain direct nationals (ie: Best Buy). It'll probably happen at some point and the i's haven't been dotted and the t's crossed yet.

What Vincent said. I wouldn't be surprised if Apple is involved in deciding what subdealers have the iPhone, too.
