Also like my self it doesnt seem like you can have too much ram these days and with the extra 2gb of ram just makes sure everything will run snappy today and next year, hopefully.
Most I dont see necessarily need the extra storage but a lot of us are getting the 512gb version to get the extra 2gb of ram. Now days with how fast they are coming out with new stuff on mobile it doesnt seem like you can have too much ram.
Normally for preorders the system starts putting them through the day before the release date. So tomorrow they should start going through and getting their stickers
No they come through a backroom system and us warehouse employees scan them and they get a sticker with the pickup persons name. So they probably come through based on the date and time you preordered.
Just to give a little input, I work at BB in the warehouse and as of last night I couldn't see any ocean blue 512 note 9 anywhere in the system. lots of every other variation of the phone though. I will check again Thursday night.
