The first $40 coupon comes in the box, so everyone gets it (even if you don't activate "new" service). I got a brief look at the $60 rebate coupon that comes with the Nokia 5190 (I figure the terms are the same for the $100 rebate on the 8290). It said that 90 days service was required, so you may not need to sign a contract. The first downside to no contract is that you don't get the bonus weekend minutes. The second is that you may not get the second $40 coupon from the rep.

Note: I've seen new 8290's sell for around $190 with no contract on some online auctions recently.
