I just checked the rebate tracking site and it says my rebate was processed and mailed on Jul 30 but I have not received it yet. Hopefully, it shows up this week. Seems like a long time to arrive if it was actually mailed on Jul 30 though.
You missed one group and that is those smart enough to buy the phone at a place that had the rebate built in already. That would be me buying it at Costco.
