I thought they were merged half year ago

We can give them a little latitude in that regard, with their chose word "recent" being close enough. I see no harm there.
we do not plan to use pre-orders!
With all the financial backing that has been espoused, the above clause should be tossed out the window and replaced with "We will not conduct business with any pre-order model." (or the like)
If they do that, coupled with providing a timely product and stand behind it without their customer base having to jump through hoops, then they can own the market. Anything short of that, and their names WILL be dragged through the mud.
Peace.
