Whenever a company offers a product at a highly discounted rate, it is usually because the manufacturer is giving them a certain quantity of the product at a discounted price so they can turn over the savings to the consumer. This is exactly what happened in the case of the November 5th orders or any other orders where that discount was used. Furthermore, Nokia has assigned only a certain quantity of each batch (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc) to the orders where the discount was used and the rest of the handsets produced go to people who paid retail for the device. Therefore, even though someone may have placed their order on the 5th, someone can in fact order on the 19th and get their device first, if they paid full price, because the allotment of handsets in the first batch for the discounted orders has been used up. Terrible marketing from Nokia. Thoroughly infuriates me, but this is the truth. Anyone with an issue needs to contact Nokia directly and demand a policy change, as I already have.

@rnb89: was your estimated deliver already 2/10/2010 or did it just change to that? I'm assuming you'll get better information once they have tracking information...my delivery date didn't change when it shipped.

Only One person sent in his/her rebate form. What are the others that have the device waiting for? Oh, OVI store... don't we need to activate the ovi store account via the phone before submitting the rebate? Also, do we need to make copy of the UPC code on the box or just a copy of the receipt is sufficient.
