Yes, you may get it.
Many, in your situation, have filed resident returns with proper SSN and have received the stimulus rebate.
Another choice: Wait for your 2008 tax return. If you do not receive full amount of $600 now, then you may get the balance amount when you file your 2008 return, and you become eligible for the tax rebate.

I also believe that you can AMEND your 2007 return and file it with your spouse's SSN in place of the ITIN.
