I logged onto Verizon's website at 2:50am EST and the option to preorder was already available. Ordered a 32GB White iPhone4S and received a confirmation email at 2:58am; back in bed by 3am. No issues what-so-ever, not even a slight slowdown of their site.

I received 3 confirmation emails. The order numbers are all the same and I was only charged once, however. At any rate, I guess my order definitely went through :)
 
Ordered through Verizon at about 6:30 this morning as an upgrade from a non-smartphone. No problems at all, got the confirmation email within a minute, which said it would ship to arrive on the 14th. Just got home, checked order status (OK, so I'm slightly OCD), and now it says shipping on the 21st. It's not like another week of waiting will kill me or anything, but I'd certainly like to start playing with my nice, shiny, new iphone.

I ordered mine around 11AM Eastern. It still says shipping on the 14th. Which phone did you order? I ordered the 32GB Black 4S.
 
Most Verizon Phones saying shipping on the 21st are the 16GB Versions. I'll be buying the 64GB White, those are still available. I'll pick mine up at the Verizon Store next Friday. I want to leave my money in my local store where they treat me right. I want to give my sale to my favorite Verizon Rep.

I ordered the Black 16GB on Verizon at about 3:10am and it is now showing that it is expected to be shipped on the 21st. Wtf? Are they showing this for every Black 16GB?
 
Ordered through plan upgrade on Sprint web site, our contract had run out in July and I was waiting to see if iPhones would be added to the Sprint lineup. I ordered four 16Gb, 4S's. Three white, for myself my wife and daughter, one black for my other daughter. Order package for all four phones went through around 4:30 PM CDT, got confirmation immediately. Expected delivery on friday the 14th or saturday the 15th. No problems at all. We are on the Family Data Plan and our monthly bill should be around $250 per month with all phones on the plan.:)
 
Last night after waiting about 35 minutes of delay for the Apple website to become available, I almost called it a night and went to bed. Last minute it opened. whew. lucky. But then the Apple website wasn't working right. So finally, I tried AT&T's website and it worked. I ordered my phone around 1:10am (Pacific - California). It still shows delivery date of the 14th. (32GB black 4S AT&T)

AFTER READING ALL OF THE PEOPLE WITH OCT.21 DELIVERY DATES, I AM NOW SO GLAD I STAYED UP LATE AND DIDN'T WAIT TILL THE NEXT MORNING. I was very tired today, but it paid off. :)

Where does it say that?
 
Ordered mine yesterday 12:45 pm central time. Got an email 4:28pm confirming my order. The order status online says processing and that it's back ordered.
 
should've waited for 5. got the 4 a few months ago but I'm looking forward to iOS 5 more than the actual 4S:)
 
Ordered mine Oct 7, 12:00 p.m. MDT... Just checked the confirmation and it still says Oct 14... VZW 1 White 4s 16GB and 1 Black 4s 16GB. Started getting scared after I seen some of these messages.
 
Just got my UPS delivery conformation number from Sprint for my white 32GB 4S! Pre-ordered Oct 7th 3:30am EST. Should be here on the 14th or 15th.
