I ordered in the store, so I had to rely on them to atleast offer it. But nope not offered and I didn't remember to ask so now I'm waiting. Forgot who I was with, I remember back in the day, I can't remember which carrier I was with but all phones were shipped 2 day shipping.
Now that you mention it every phone I ever ordered had 2 day shipping or overnight. I never had to wait long to receive a device once it shipped.
Congrats on getting the expected date! I hear you on TMO and their communications skills. They really need to up their game on their whole end to end ordering process. It has a lot of communication gaps.
Well I'll be damned can't believe they got caught up so fast.
iOS have "Do Not Disturb" where your phone won't make noise, vibrate or have your screen come on when a notification come through. You can add people to your favorites where they can get through. If someone not in your favorites call 2-3 times within 3 minutes they will bypass Do Not Disturb. I've been using the feature since it debuted and I love it. You can do more with it when you jailbreak.I think the Windows Phone OS provides an outstanding experience. There are little features like 'Quiet Hours' that I don't think exist on iOS or android. Also, the hardware (Nokia/Microsoft) is bulletproof. I'm a little nervous about the relative lack of durability of my soon-to-be-delivered 6S+.
I've never had an iPhone. Years ago, I flashed android on to my HTC Touch Pro II, but it was terrible. I've been with Windows Phone since day one. In the beginning with Windows Phone 7, the app gap was understandable and forgivable; I could easily live without apps like Words With Friends. With Windows Phone 8, the app gap really started to close, but recently, major 1st party developers have started pulling back. For example Chase pulled its banking app, so I can no longer deposit checks with my phone. I'm sure other WP fans might argue otherwise, but for me the app gap has widened. I am also very interested in mobile payment. Softcard was supposed to be the answer, but google screwed that up for me. Actually, google has really screwed up a lot for Windows Phone, and as such, I go out of my way to not use their services. Also, T-Mobile seems to have gone out of their way to inhibit Windows Phone; I'd switch to AT&T if it wasn't so expensive.
So to answer your question, I'm really just tired of waiting for Windows Phone to improve. I hope it succeeds! All consumers benefit from strong competition. This may fall on deaf ears here, but Windows Phone has provided some innovations that have been copied/replicated in iOS and android. Also, Microsoft has recently released nearly all of their apps that I care about for iOS. So, while the UI might be a little bland, I know the iPhone will give me access to all apps and features available on a smart phone.
tl;dr: app gap (and to a lesser degree, missing features)
PS - I know some of you are staunch Apple fans. I am not trying to troll or looking to start and argument with this post. TechDiva asked me a question, so I answered.

That happened to me as well. There was not notifications from TMO that it was shipped or being shipped.
You may get an email and text from T-Mobile after it's delivered. That's what happened to me and my sister. T-Mobile's site is so slow on updating its customers. Smh.
