But the invoice for say the laptop my girlfriend purchased using my account (she paid for it with her credit card).

The only date on the invoice is "Submitted:
9/18/2009 5:01:01 PM"

And I can tell you that's not the date that we placed the order, it's the date they charged the credit card. So if preorders are handled the same way then people who bought the n900 will be eligible for the rebate.

System5:27:07 PM System says, Max has joined this session!
System5:27:07 PM System says, Connected with Max
System5:27:07 PM System says, Hello my name is Max. How may I help you today?

Customer5:27:14 PM (CONFIDENTIAL) says, Hi there

Agent5:27:29 PM Max says, Hello.

Customer5:28:02 PM says, I preordered a Nokia N900 on 3rd Nov
Customer5:28:03 PM says, Pre Sales Order Number: xxxxxx (CONFIDENTIAL)
Customer5:28:33 PM says, I'm wondering if I would qualify for the $50 Nokia Mail-in Rebate??

Agent5:29:06 PM Max says, You will need to contact the phone number on the mail in rebate form.

Customer5:29:40 PM says, 1. Requires purchase of a new, eligible Nokia N97, Nokia N900, Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition, Nokia 5530 XpressMusic, or Nokia 5530 XpressMusic (Games Edition) device between
November 16, 2009 and December 31, 2009.
Customer5:30:20 PM says, so if i preorder nov 3rd from Newegg, would i still be qualified?

Agent5:32:12 PM Max says, You will need to contact the rebate center.

Customer5:33:21 PM says, what would Newegg's receipt say the date is when the product arrives at my door?

Agent5:33:45 PM Max says, The day the item ships will be on the invoice.

Customer5:34:30 PM says, so it won't show the pre-order date?
System5:35:08 PM System says, The session has ended!

Then he hung up on me. . .

They get less money that way. Amazon/Newegg has to get a cut of it.

Trust me, you're threatening them with a Limp Noodle. They got about $20 in parts in that Phone. You ain't scaring them much.

Well, get out of line and back in line. I also don't think your invoice will show before the 16th, but whatever makes it worth it for you. You could screw up and not get it till January if you're not careful!

I should be hearing back from them regarding this soon. I'll let you all know what they say in the morning if I have the email. Night all! (I'm in Perth, Australia: GMT +8)
Well they did email me back, but they cancelled my order (because for some technical glitch the shipping charges were around $150) and they didn't tell me about the preorder price guarantee. I'm going to order from Newegg instead now becuase the amazon.com price is now $610. I'll just get my friend to buy it for me since they don't take international credit cards.

Amazon's price has dropped back down to $559.99, as I pointed it out here :

You're the GIMP!


</3 for you...
