I just read the rebate again, and it doesn't say to include your invoice, but I wonder if Nokia has a way to track the UPC code tied to your Amazon account pre-order date??
I wouldn't be surprised if this was so, otherwise lets say someone purchases the phone Jan 1st from Amazon, but the end date for the rebate clearly states Dec 31. If all you have to do is tell them 'this is my buy date' and they go by your word then allot of people could get away with it between Jan 1 through Jan 8 thus Nokia would be paying out allot money to rebates that are ineligible. I'm sure they have a way of tracking actual order dates through second party retailers.
I see. Well that sort of leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.

Please keep a copy of your submission for your records. Mail-In Form, dated store receipt and UPC/barcode panel must be postmarked by January 8, 2010 and received no
later than January 15, 2010. Submissions postmarked after January 8, 2010 or received after January 15, 2010 will not be accepted and are void.

Ok, repeating myself from earlier when last week I spoke to Amazon about the price drop and I'll emphasize "$559.99 . This is the price you'll be charged for this item when the order ships.":
Hello,
The discounts we offer vary from time to time. I see we currently offer a greater discount on "Nokia N900 Unlocked Cell Phone/Mobile Computer with 3.5-Inch Touchscreen, QWERTY, 5 MP Camera, Maemo Browser, 32 GB--U.S. Version with Full Warranty" than we did at the time you placed order #_.
Since this item hasn't shipped yet, I adjusted the price to reflect the current discounted price, $559.99 . This is the price you'll be charged for this item when the order ships.
So I expect for them to stand by this. Period.
BUT the rebate for does say:
between November 16, 2009 and December 31, 2009....and...Mail-In Form, dated store receipt and UPC/barcode panel ...
So if they want to stick to the rules and my Amazon invoice reflects the date I actually placed the order, I may not get the rebate, but still a decent price.

i'm on phone with nokia usa (Brightpoint). I had my preorder on 9/4 and they are telling me that they need to cancel that order because BT headset is not compatible. New order will have 15% off with free "express", not overnight, shipping.
now having issues with bank because they had other pending hold.. you can guess who that was from.

This is the only company that Chase has bothered to call me and ask about charges from.
So I can believe that Brightpoint has a problem with the banks, which has nothing to do with the customers, but something in Brightpoints processing or business ways.

There's no question Amazon will stand by the $559 price if you ordered before the price hike. I think some people were a bit peeved to find out they may not be eligible for the additional $50 rebate, bringing it to $509 for those who ordered prior to the price drop, due to the order date being the same as the pre-order, regardless of the actual charge date. Sounds like that may not be an issue though; regardless I'm sending the rebate in and hopefully 8 weeks later I'll have a $50 card.
