I doubt many people have a problem waiting, but the timeframe is silly. It's like the September 1st deadline for schools in that a child that was born on September 5th has to wait entire whole year to start kindergarten but the kid who was born a week earlier can start now. Stupid! It would have been better if Sprint would have just stated that they no longer honor early upgrades, but no, they opted to focus on people who are within days of their contract expiring. That is what people are ticked about, in my opinion.
Unfortunately, no matter what timeframe we're talking about, or what deadline we set, there will always be those who miss the cutoff by a few days who then feel somehow "cheated". Regardless of the subject, set a date and enforce it. The real issue comes when people starte futzing around and making one-off exceptions to whatever the rule is. Because then, if you are arbitrarily given an exception and I am not, I really feel cheated... but if the date is fixed, one can be upset, but all will be treated equally.
