I'm very puzzled by a lot of the negative reaction to the 4S and suspect that many who are now mashing their teeth would have been singing Apple's praises had they announced an identical device, but instead named it the iPhone 5?!?! Frankly the specs mostly conform to the iPhone 5 roomers when these very people were counting down the days to Apple's iPhone 5 unveiling, and couldn't wait to get their hands on one. It wasn't anticipated that this model would add LTE support, and it didn't. Perhaps my perspective is different since I have a 3GS and am upgrade eligible, but I preordered my 64 GB 4S as soon as it was possible at ohh Dark hundred Friday morning and am anxiously awaiting its arrival!! If I already had a 4 and was not yet eligible for a carrier subsidized upgrade, I suspect I would have still been tempted by the 4S improvements, but probably would not have taken the leap.
