Ok, only temporarily, but I went to the Verizon store tonight because my Droid X chose to die tonight (well, apparently the WiFi antenna did). Looked at the Razr (very cool design, gorgeous screen, very light and thin, HORRIBLE camera, Bionic-like hiss on headphones between songs). Also looked at the HTC device (great screen, bulky, hate Sense, nothing new or exciting). When the sales rep heard me gripe about the camera on the Moto devices, she told me to look at the iPhone 4s. I laughed and said, no thank you, not for me.
So she dragged me kicking and screaming and I looked and took about 10 pictures and HOLY COW, that camera is nicer than my $300 Canon point and shoot! Screen on the iphone is also gorgeous. So, between needing a new phone suddenly, the GNex drama/delays today and the iPhone being right there, I succumbed and upgraded. But not without getting a free case and waiver of my $20 early upgrade fee.
Never fear, GNex fans, the dark side is only temporary for me. As soon as the Nexus comes out (whenever that is, DOH!), I am going to pass the iphone down to my DD, who will be ecstatic, and take her upgrade to get back to my beloved, highly customizable Droids. In the meantime, I have a new phone to play with and I will get less of a heart attack reading the "when is this phone finally being released" threads on this board. Win win for all.

PS: lady at store had no idea what ICS was, when GNex was coming out (never heard of it), etc... She did however agree to replace my Droid X under the warranty so at least I have a brand new refurbed phone to sell for a little money back. Also, she told me they heard TODAY about another Samsung phone on sale (on line only) with ICS but with a smaller screen also. Forgot what it was called but they didn't have a demo and small screens (I think she said 3.5") are not my thing in general.
