People who ordered in Sept when the link first came up are in the same boat as people who ordered today. We'll all get shipped at the same time, no extra added wait time if you ordered late. Canceled my Sept 19 order with them this morning and replaced it so I can get the $50 rebate. Total came out to $519.26 - $50 rebate comes to $469.26

Again, thanks for keeping us posted!

Edit: Speaking of course of Tanisha, the manager from Amazon.

What I was told was that it could not be guaranteed that if I canceled my order and placed a new one, there would be no difference in the shipping date. She said it would end up depending on the total number of N900's they receive and the total number of orders placed. Then once shipping starts, it will go in priority of order dates and the methods of shipping selected (ie super savers go last). She couldn't give me an indication on when orders might start being fulfilled, as to the best of her knowledge Amazon had not received any shipments from Nokia yet.

She did, however, simply go into my account and reduce it by $50 so I would not have to re-order...effectively an instant rebate! Overall, she was extremely responsive and helpful.

It's possible my rep just wasn't as informed as spinnukur's (although she did check with several managers to get the information), but in any case I might think twice about re-ordering.
