Don't you just love these conflicting results? I agree with you about the rebate form and what it says. If they honor the rebate then I only have the sales tax issue to worry about. Wonder if the sales tax would be on the full $569 or on $519 effective price. On another note, I bought from Best Buy and returned a Droid earlier this month. The camera really was bad. Slow to focus and pictures were really dreadful. That was the main reason I returned it. I loved the tight integration of voice with Google searches and for placing calls. And the Star Map application worked so well. You just held the phone up to the sky and had a labeled pictured of all the stars and constellations you were looking at.
