Actually it does Einstein. It says it directly under the four sub-itemized required things to do.
'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.'
It also says it to the right in the fine print.
Also it doesn't matter if it say's the ship date or not...seriously learn to read the details. It clearly state's 'ordered', not shipped--if you ordered between Nov.16 - Dec.31. Jesus people stop being lazy and go back like 15 pages and skim through them and you'll get all your answers. Upper left hand side of your invoice...oh look...'Ordered Date'

You can be condescending, but the form says quite clearly directly below the items they ask for in large print:
"If any of the above items are not mailed in their entirety, your submission will not be processed."
Their failure to update their boilerplate does not place a burden on the submitter to include an item not required.
Besides, if you mail in early you can correct the supposed "deficiency" prior to the deadline.
Even if there was such a requirement, Amazon's invoices do include both an "order date" (in small print) and a "ship date" (in large print). Which one do you think the minimum wage mail-opener is going to look at (especially if you circle it )?
My point is that the rebate form has no language on it which requires the submission of a receipt. Moreover, the form specifically states 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.
You purchase something when you pay for it. The form also contains no language limiting when the device is ordered, only when it is purchased..
If you want to get into a tizzy, be my guest, but the plain language of the form says you get the rebate, even if you choose to submit a receipt despite there being no request or demand for said receipt.
Edited to add: I guess we'll see how it works out in 10 weeks or so.

LOL...what do you think the 'Order Placed' language is in the upper left hand of the invoices...order placed, order date--common sense that the two mean the same thing.
Actually it does clearly state you need to submit a receipt even if it's not included in the four subsections. It clearly state's it directly underneath and if you had actually bothered to read the previous pages you would know that other people called Nokia and received the same answer that a receipt is mandatory with your submission.
Just because it isn't listed in the subsections but listed underneath them and in very clear language doesn't mean you can omit it. But go ahead and submit it without a receipt and watch it get denied. Stating what is actually on the rebate form is not condescending, it's stating what is said and what is not said, not your interpretation because it isn't in the subsection. Arguing the language isn't their, when it clearly is, is like arguing that their is no 'N' in the Nokia name on the rebate form even though it's clearly visible.

Spinnikur,
Stop being rude please, there is no need for it.
Although you might think otherwise, it is still not 100% clear to everyone whether or not the order date will invalidate the rebate.
As far as I know a receipt is issued at the point of having paid. The fact that it was ordered previously in my opinion might be irrelevant. Heck I could even prove payment for the item going through my credit card, and they would only show payment as of the day it was charged.
***EDIT***
Nowhere on the rebate does it state that the item must be "ORDERED" between those days. It only states that it must be "PURCHASED" between said dates. I haven't PURCHASED it if I haven't paid for it!
How can I be issued a receipt if I have neither received the item nor paid for it?
I don't think you understood what I was saying...

No.
"Nokia have advised that we will receive stock into our Nokia Retail stores to allow us to dispatch your N900 on the 3rd December" is in the email I have.

Of course, if they'd quit dicking around and release/ship the phone, they wouldn't have to do even this. It would sell itself.
