I just got off a chat session with NokiaUSA. They told me the n900 $50 rebate does not apply to the n900 phones they sell and that they charge sales tax to my state (Alabama). I already have a 11/20/2009 pre-order with Amazon for $529. NokiaUSA's lack of rebate and added sales tax makes the Nokia version cost me about $117 more than the Amazon version. So I guess I'm gonna have to wait on Amazon to ship.

Did anyone ever find out from Amazon whether the rebate goes away if Amazon doesn't ship your phone until after the rebate expires? The NokiaUSA chat session guy told me that that info would have to come from Amazon.

thats ******ed of nokiausa. i don't see why you can't use the rebate for your order on nokia's website. the rebate form doesn't say you have to buy from select retailers.

the rebate form on amazon will not go away. they usually leave it up for a month (i think) after the expiration of rebate.

The rebate will go away, however you can email the customer service and point out the rebate expires Jan 7th and that you may not get your phone from Amazon to then. What they did for me, and one other user on here is that they said if they don't have the device to me by the 7th then they'll take care of the credit (probably in the form of Amazon credit).

But you have to email the customer service and ask them. If you do nothing you'll just be out $50 (cash, amazon credit, whatever).

I followed others' footsteps and wrote to Amazon expressing my concern on receiving the device after the rebate expired. I got the same response that Amazon will honor the rebate if the shipment doesn't arrive in time. Why don't you giving it a try?

I really would prefer an N900 to a Bold 9700 but like I said, I won't take Nokia's or Amazons crap anymore so if I don't get a shipment status by Friday with my so called 'priority' status with Amazon I'm gonna cancel my order and never buy another Nokia device...for at least a year.

I just ordered from NokiaUSA today. the phone is shipping ....so they say.... but I asked 2 times directly and NokiaUSA will honor the rebate. There is nothing in the rebate form that says they will not honor the rebate.

Epi.
