Will Verizon stores have the iPhone 4S on release day?

[Davewithak]

Does anyone know? The nearest Apple store is 3 1/2 hours away and I would rather pick it up than ship it.

Also, when does Apple charge for preorders? Is it when you actually preorder it, when it ships, when it's delivered, etc?

Thanks

1) Yes, Verizon will have them.

2) When it ships.
