Remember: If you have a problem with Nokia or a Nokia product the problem is you . Nokia is perfect. All Nokia products are perfect, do not speak ill of them ever.

Actually your wrong, There is a reason Nokia is moving from Symbian to Maemo, the N900 is the flagship phone, the phone to bring them back into the market, the phone to release a old but redesigned OS to the market, Symbian is not very loved around here. I don't know anyone that uses Symbian anymore, maybe where you live people have little knowledge of high end smart phones but here in Texas a lot of people pay for expensive phones, whatever there reason is to buy them, they do pay the money.

"Nokia's Flagship N900 Delayed Unil November (NOK)"

Now I wonder where THEY got the idea this was Nokia's flagship device?

Hello,

I have pre-ordered the Nokia N900 on Oct 17th. I've noticed that a rebate offer came out a few days ogo for $50. I've also noticed that one of the requirements for that rebate offer is that the purchase be made between Nov. 16th and Dec. 31st 2009.

Although I have pre-ordered the device on October 17th, I have not in fact purchased it yet.

I just wanted to ask and make sure that the invoice I will be receiving from you will show the actual Purchase date of the device. Meaning the date you will charge my Credit Card.

I also need this "actual" date to be reflected for the purpose of taking advantage of my square trade warranty. The Warranty is effective as of the purchase date, so I do not intend to pay for a warranty that will cover me from the day I pre-ordered, without having had a device in my hands for over a month.

Thank you very much for your time and your services.

Sincerely,

Hello Davide,

The actual purchase date will be the date we charge your card. This will qualify you for your rebate.

Also your warranty will come in to effect from the purchase date also.

Whenever you pre-order a book, CD, video, DVD, software, or video game, the price we charge when we ship it to you will be the lowest price offered by Amazon.com between the time you placed your order and the release date. If the price changes, you'll see the update (or refund, if your shipment is already being prepared) within 24 hours.

Our Pre-Order Price Guarantee doesn't apply to items (or prices) offered by other sellers on our site.

We look forward to seeing you again soon.
