Best Buy’s Web site lists the 16GB, 32Gb and 64GB models in black or white with AT&T, Verizon or Sprint service contracts. Just like Apple and its cell partners, Best Buy’s pricing starts at US$199 with a two-year contract.

Apple CEO Tim Cook introduced the iPhone 4S during a special media event earlier this week at the company’s headquarters in Cupertino. The new iPhone model looks like the iPhone 4 it replaces as Apple’s top of the line smartphone, but includes a dual core A5 processor, a new antenna design, better battery life, built-in combination GSM and CDMA cell network support, an 8 megapixel camera, Siri voice control, and more.

Customers can also preorder their iPhone 4S through the Apple Web site.
