Just read the Nokia prepaid Visa form and it says NOTHING about where the item was purchased aside form no dealers or group purchases.

I just pulled the trigger and ordered from Nokia. I was going to wait until Friday but with all the chatter read with respect to Nokia pulling the sale tomorrow I didn't want to take any chances. 70 dollars be damned. It wasn't the potentially slow shipping (I ordered in November) it was the lack of communication that killed it for me.

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.

I just called NokiaUSA on the phone instead of chatting as I did earlier. The lady (this time) told me that the $50 rebate was not valid for the n900 ordered from NokiaUSA. So now I have the same answer from two different Nokia reps (no rebate) while we have others here who pointedly asked the same question from Nokia and got replies that the rebate was valid. Also she would not tell me the total order amount (including tax) unless she entered the order into her system. Sounds like a crap shoot to me... *smile* Guess I'll sit and stew some more. Maybe by next week the NokiaUSA order system will either have gotten fixed or totally died. I figure I can wait a while then order from NokiaUSA and still beat Amazon's shipping time by several weeks.

Let the reps show us on the form where it says it is eligible ONLY through 3rd parties. These reps are starting to remind me of the Amazon reps with their bogus information on shipping. I am going to mail mine out the day I get the phone and if I don't get the Visa card I am going to RAISE CANE.

ordered on nov 7. still says not yet shipped. I've checked my account on my G1 for the status and it said:

"one day shipping:
january 6 , 2010"



I'm really tempted to buy from nokia usa at this moment, but I keep hearing that the rebate won't work from some people and yes from others.

Where does it say that for you yellow man? All I have under order status is "Not Shipped yet". I'm curious to say if they're giving me any sort of estimate or not yet.

I love the HD2, when it comes to the 1GHZ snapdragon or huge gigantic 4.3" capacitive display--however, Engadget did an extensive review and during that review the reviewer stated that the phone OS would freeze up quite a bit probably because of WinMo OS which is known for freezing up. Besides the OS freezing up, which is annoying, he said, the phone itself is absolutely stellar.

One thing I don't like about the HD2 is that it doesn't have 32GB or even 16GB already built in, from what I've read it's probably only going to be 4GB embedded for us US folk.

I wouldn't be surprised if Nokia is purposely not sending Amazon their stock because Amazon got more pre-orders then Nokia did. Nokia know's people want their unit before Christmas and if Amazon can't ship the N900 because they don't have any stock, then Nokia know's we'll have to buy it directly from their website...thus more money...
