First post, just wanted to share my experience ordering the 4s.
Went to exchange my RAZR because, it simply, sucked. Anyway, Ordered the 32gb, black, in-store, VZW on 11/22. She said it would ship by 12/9. Last night, 11/30, they updated my order status from no content under "Tracking" to "Will ship by 12/9". Also, my bank account has been charged for the purchase. From what I've heard from others buying, whenever this happens, it should be shipping soonish. So just waiting now on a tracking number..
