All a rebate processor is going do is follow the directions are the rebate
Step 1) Was the order purchased between Nov 16th and Dec 31st?
Amazon Invoice: (if it shows the pre-order date). REJECT
Newegg Invoice: (if it shows the charge/purchase date). ACCEPT
And if your thinking that Nokia will tell its rebate processing arm (if it doesn't contract it out to a 3rd party company) that the n900 wasn't released till X date and to process the rebate regardless as long as it's before Dec 31st. Remember this is the same company that has trouble informing even it's own flagship stores and customer service when they can expect the n900.

All pre-orders will get fulfilled at the same time and if their is any wait, it'll be the regular orders that will have to wait.
Icontacted both Newegg and Amazon andtheyconfirmed that it doesnt metter when u place a preoorder, as soon as ur card charged,thats when the actual order starts.

But here's the thing a pre-order is not a purchase. No money has been exchanged. Nokia will have to honer the rebate for all pre-orders before November 16 that had payments taken after the 16th.
I smell a class action lawsuit if they do not honor it.

Your order of August 29, 2007 (Order ID 104-XXXXXXX-XXXXXXX)
The order was received on November 7th, the day after the release.
Unless they've updated the format of their receipts since then, there would be no other date available with which to validate the rebate request, excepting of course the public release date of the product.

Problem is that every time you switch you get back to the end of the line.

But neither of their opinions matter. It is up to Nokia to honor the rebate.
Therefore Amazon's opinion does matter on THEIR invoice. Since it's their invoice that will determine if you can get the rebate.

I inquired with amazon regarding the rebate issue... This was their response.
According to Amazon Customer Service, I will be eligible for the rebate, and I will hold them to this!
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.

I totally agree with you, and under law a purchase is defined as 'monetary exchange for a product or service exchanged between two or more entities', but technically speaking they can call your pre-order a purchase since when you pre-order you're temporarily charged anywhere from $1-$5 to make sure your account has the necessary funds to complete the transaction once the item ships.
I hate it to, but it's a valid point they could make if someone did indeed bring a suit against them. Nokia doesn't have to honor anything just because someone say's they have to. I agree it's shady of Nokia, but let's try to use common sense when saying things.

If you notice on Amazon receipts their is two dates. The 'Date of Purchase' & 'Date of Shipping'.
Nice email, but I'll stick to what I was told via email, phone plus the other ten people who got the same response as I.
