Yeah that was actually the first suggestion, but both the rep and lead both said I would be back where I started because I would be charged the new $609 price, they would be unable to give it to me for the $559 price by re-ordering. No biggie, I guess it all depends on who you speak to and what mood they're in at the moment. It sounds like it doesn't much matter though as from what I'm reading, the actual invoice or purchase info isn't needed for the rebate; as long as I don't write 11/11/09 on the form I should be okay.

It doesn't make sense not to get rebate since the very first customers are the ones that pre-ordered. They should be treated as priority to get the rebate. It's illogical to deny the very first people that buy the phone...it just doesn't make sense. I don't believe it.

As far as I'm concerned... the Purchase is made when they charge the money... they committed to the $559 price with me, and cannot go back on that.
They will honor that price(or they'll get the device back and lose a long time customer FOREVER), and the rebate has nothing to do with them.

Nokia doesn't care how much you paid for the phone... They've already been paid whatever price by Amazon for purchasing the phone from them wholesale... what amazon charges is irrelevant to Nokia.

If you're not breaking that resolution in this thread, we may have to nominate you for Sainthood!

Well, us people that got the Dell deal will probably not see them for a long time, but people that paid the normal price should get them within several days of flag stores -if you did not do free delivery.
If Dell is the official reseller, then why did Nokia announced Amazon and not them...

This will bring my total down to $509.
I really don't think you need to cancel and re-order to be able to use the rebate... The $50 is coming from nokia, NOT amazon.

The rebate say's 'If purchased between Nov 16 and Dec 31', and on the invoice it'll say the pre-order date which is Sept 19.

I just read the rebate again, and it doesn't say to include your invoice, but I wonder if Nokia has a way to track the UPC code tied to your Amazon account pre-order date??

I wouldn't be surprised if this was so, otherwise lets say someone purchases the phone Jan 1st from Amazon, but the end date for the rebate clearly states Dec 31. If all you have to do is tell them 'this is my buy date' and they go by your word then allot of people could get away with it between Jan 1 through Jan 8 thus Nokia would be paying out allot money to rebates that are ineligible. I'm sure they have a way of tracking actual order dates through second party retailers.

They can tell your date by when you do the OVI activation. I really would sweat this. You'll get your $50. The rebate form has rules about the activation and when it has to be done.

That's BS that was sucked out of this forum.

That's obviously a leech site.
