Okay, here's my situation:
I was first in line at my T-Mobile store today, but they had no 7+ phones.
He took down the phone I wanted (black, 128 GB) and said he would call me as soon as they got one in and I'd be the first to get it, since I was first in "line."
Online, that phone doesn't ship from T-Mobile until November. The 256GB ships a little earlier, but I don't want to pay the extra up front $100 + fees for space I don't need.
So here's the question, do I trust this guy to get me a phone or do I order online and wait until November? It seems impossible that he won't get a phone in store before November, right? But if I'm wrong about that and wait even longer to order online, the ship date may slip even farther.
I talked to T-Mobile, and with Jump you can only have one new phone associated with each line, so if I do the online order, I won't be able to still take the in-store phone if it comes in, because my line won't be available for Jump. So I have to pick one or the other as the best route forward.
Thoughts?
