Just to chime in:
Verizon allowed business preorders for the 4S at 7AM on the 7th, not 3AM like you lucky consumers.
Preorder completed by 7:03AM on the 7th.
Email address listed for business was wrong, never received conformation email, do have order number though.
Been checking incessantly for several days.
Original ship by date was listed as 14th, now listed as the 21st, some people said that it jumped back to the 14th for them, but as of right now, it still says the 21st when I check the status through the Verizon Wireless business hub orders page.
Checked my balance earlier today and they did charge me 749.49 for the 32GB White 4S.
That means it's shipped, right?
Still no shipping information on orders page, just says "Status: Completed" "Ship by date 10/21/11"
EDIT: ADD; When I ordered my iPad 2 through Verizon, they never actually sent out a notifcation that it was shipping, never gave me a tracking number, it just showed up at my door on the day it was actually listed to ship.
