It just depends on the user so the extra storage is always appreciated especially for games. With HD + screens the os takes more spaces due to higher resolution icons and stuff like that. If storage was not on demand Apple wouldn't have bother releasing a 128gb phone. Google combined storage is a great workaround but not supported by most manufacturers. Try using a 8gb or 16gb phone now with how much space the new apps take.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Android1126:
What do you mean by combine storage?

I said the SD card is the one major upgrade from the Note 5. That was my initial point. BTW, not sure if you use Wi-Fi or what type of Data plan you have, but one of the reasons Manufacturers took away SD storage, was to promote their cloud services (Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, Samsung Cloud* new, iCloud, Google Play/Music/Movies/etc.)

I for one, having a basic understanding of how flash memory works, minimize writes to my internal Flash memory, and upload media (mostly pics and 4K video in original size) to the cloud. Yes there is that initial write operation, but I remove that media immediately (locally), freeing those memory blocks/fields to be written to again (as opposed to a fresh block/unit/field).

Taken from Wikipedia:

"..........Hardware designers later developed EEPROMs with the erasure region broken up into smaller "fields" that could be erased individually without affecting the others. Altering the contents of a particular memory location involved copying the entire field into an off-chip buffer memory, erasing the field, modifying the data as required in the buffer, and re-writing it into the same field."

Again, It's nice to be able to toss a bunch of movies onto an SD card for a long flight, or even car ride. Totally down with the SD expandable storage option.

Agreed, and addressed. Like I stated initially SD cards are a good thing!!!

[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] j0a0a7:
I know what you mean that's why I said Nevermind thought you meant there was no need for extra storage. My apologies for misinterpreting your post. Combined storage aka adaptable storage that was introduced with marshmallow.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Android1126:
I know, which i why I always go with the highest capacity, and use cloud storage whenever possible. I also back up media to a personal hard drive, to maintain space on my device. Honestly, I have two phones, and a number of PC's/Servers (work crap). I really don't download that many apps on my phone, unless I know I will be using them frequently. T\I try to minimize the bloat and keep things clean (inside and out).

[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Android1126:
Yea, I had a 16GB iPhone 5s for work about a year or so ago, and it definitely fills up quick, especially since Apple (obviously) doesn't use ART or Dalvik. Their format makes application sizes HUGE. On top of that, you can't clean it out, you have to uninstall the whole app to clean "cache/data" (another reason why iPhones aren't as good as Android phones).
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Lazer:
Yeah I pretty much just backup all of my photos to Google Photos now. Makes it so much easier not having to keep them internally when swapping phones or formatting. Music isn't much of a worry either since I subscribe to Google Play Music. So you're right, they did succeed on that end. Atleast for me personally.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] j0a0a7:
I think Friday for sure only difference between overnight and overnight saver is the commit time. For regular overnight from what I remember it's deliver before 10am and for overnight saver it's until the end of day. UPS at my old address suck because I was always at the end of the route most of times my packages would arrive after 4pm even had one deliver around 7pm.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Android1126:

Wish we could fast forward to friday already. My boyfriend woke me up last night when he got home from work with "hey, you got a package in the mail!" Not that I expected my phone, especially because I had it shipped to my parents house, but it almost seemed like a cruel joke that I randomly received a duplicate of the screen protector that already arrived on the 6th. It's like, oh you already have a screen cover and a case sitting around waiting...but here's another one for the phone you don't have...enjoy! (￣^￣)

We have to hit 5000 posts...lol This is not about entitlement, this is about the fact(s) that TMOB says that they ship the phone at the time the you are billed for the phone. For me, that was 5 days ago with expedited over night shipping. If todays the 17th, then they failed and the question is "Where is my phone?" (No entitlement).

If this was the case then why wouldn't I just walk into the store on the 19th and get the phone there? Also, the pre-order specials are a joke. I got an email from Best Buy Mobile yesterday saying that for walk-in customers, they will be offering the same specials, the memory card, gear fit 2, netflix, etc with out pre-orders.

So this brings up the next question........ What was the point in the pre-order anyway. I think I will be paying my TMOB store a visit after work today.

[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] seeking:
The pre order really is just to guarantee there will be a phone available in your color choice on release day.

Trying to buy a new phone in store on release day is near impossible. If you live in an area with people who dont care about stuff like this then maybe youll be ok, but living in a city pretty much means you wont be getting a phone. They will all be sold off to employees and/or friends of employees before the stores even open

Actually, a preorder just guarantees that a phone will have your name on it, it doesn't guarantee when you will receive it.

Doesn't take away from the fact that T-Mobile is sitting on a lot of people's money for several days.

About 2 years ago, I used to sell stuff on Amazon. I shipped about 40 items a day easily. Between order management software (Linnworks), postage management, and an application that I wrote myself to help me with picking orders, it took me about 5 clicks and 5 minutes to get 40 labels printed. And I was just one guy with some off-the-shelf software and doing it out of my spare bedroom. I am sure T-Mobile has a lot more resources. So that explanation they gave you means nothing.

IMO, they were ready to ship on Sunday, until Samsung put a kibosh on it.
