I'm glad you speak for the masses. Man you must have an ear to the ground to tell everyone their reasons for doing something?????? the mass majority of tmobile customers preorder from past experience. It's written all over the forums. ??????
I'm not telling anyone their reasons - you obviously seem to misunderstand. So here is a definition of preorder for you:
pre·or·der
priˈôrdər/
verb
1.
order (an item of merchandise) before it is available, with the understanding that it will be shipped later.
noun
1.
an order for an item that has not yet been made commercially available.
I don't care what the forums say and what has happened in the past. I preordered an S7 edge from T-Mobile and got it damn near 2 weeks early - BONUS! But that wasn't the reason for preordering. It was to avoid not being able to secure one on the day of release. It's convenient and saves time, and if I get it early, then yay for me. Ask most people outside of the T-Mobile forums and they'll tell you the same thing. Enjoy your day.
