Tanisha just called me from Amazon, she stated after doing research that if I wanted to cancel and place a new order ( to get the rebate ), that I will not be in the back of the line. According to her, no matter what all pre-orders of the phone will be fulfilled and it will be the regular orders that will have to wait for it. If you're a pre-order at the beginning, middle or end, we all get our N900's shipping at the same. Just reordered and with a $14.72 promotion on top of that, I got it for $519.26 - $50 rebate comes out to $469.26
